Eight mechanism patterns

Fog that tracks energy crashes after physical or mental effort. Rest helps, but recovery can take a day or more.

Fog that worsens with standing, heat, or big meals, and often eases when lying down.

Fog that started after an infection or comes with flare-ups that feel viral.

Fog tied to flushing, itching, hives, or certain foods and alcohol.

Fog that tracks poor sleep quality, irregular schedules, or short nights.

Fog that hits after meals or when a meal is late, often with shakiness or irritability.

Fog that climbs under pressure and lifts on low-demand days.

Fog that shifts with cycle changes, hot flashes, or other hormonal shifts. One possible driver among many.
