HI. THERE CAN BE MULTIPLE CAUSES FOR YOUR FOGGY FEELING OF HEAD. AS YOU SAID YOU SUFFERED FROM DIARRHOEA RECENTLY, IT CAN CAUSE ELECTROLYTE DISTURBANCES LEADING TO SUCH SYMPTOMS. ALSO GENERALISED WEAKNESS AFTER AN EPISODE OF DIARRHOEA CAN LEAD TO FOGGINESS. MOREOVER DAIBETIC PATIENT MAY DEVELOP A FORM OF DIABETIC NEUROPATHY WHICH CAN KLEAD TO FOGGINESS. SIMILARLY ITCHING CAN BE DUE TO VARIOS REASONS. IT CAN BE DUE TO A SIMPLE ALLERGY. AS YOU ARE A DIABETIC , ITCHING MAY ALSO BE DUE TO FUNGAL INFECTION. YOU NEED T O CONSULT A DERMATOLOGIST FOR THAT. THANK YOU
