This is a YouTube video (Oct 31, 2024) featuring a conversational transcript between two speakers exploring brain fog as experienced by women with breast implant illness (BII). The speakers discuss the reality and validity of cognitive symptoms and emphasize understanding and communicating those symptoms empathetically.
For breast implant illness. What do you find in the brains of women with breast implant illness?
So, so, like, I was upset when I would hear people be critical of the patients by saying, what? What the hell was brain fog?
It's so real.
And I was like, when someone from the client side said this to me for the first time, I said, okay, so I just need to understand exactly what that means to you. What, what is that? What are you describing to me? And I said, well, I have trouble remembering my kid's name. Yeah, God, I remember that. And then he said, I can't find my keys sometimes. I'm like, well, okay, that's short term memory loss. So if you just convey to the, to me as a provider, if you say short term memory loss, I understand that. Right. I don't know what the hell brain fog is.
