Overheard a med student talking to reception about their midterm on Wernicke’s area and asked if he was studying neuroscience.
He seemed confused that I had heard about it and asked what I did for a living.
I mumbled something about being out of work and seeing a neurologist lately and ran off.
Getting into the involvement of nutrient deficiencies, psych, and addiction, seemed like a lot for a convo with a stranger.
B1 (thiamine) deficiency causes Wernicke’s encephalopathy, a frequent issue in alcoholism.
B1 is water soluble and only stored in your body for about a month.
If you’re malnourished or have an addiction.
Please take a b-complex (with B1).
B1 deficiency will fuck you up the fastest.
Fat soluble vitamin deficiencies take longer.
I’m not a doctor – ask your doctor before taking crazy lady medical advice off the internet.
But ask. Please ask.
