Summary
Hawk 55414 was stuck for almost two weeks in 2021, unable to sleep or focus, and then had depression, derealization, constant headaches and body spasms. Nothing helped hugely at first, but a week of supplements and better diet began to lift the brain fog. By May 2022 NAC, glycine, lion's mane and B1 (TTFD) had cleared the brain fog for good.
