I got covid a year ago. I’ve been having trouble recalling information and will now stumble over my words all the time. That didn’t happen before I got covid. :(

Me too, but I attribute it to my excessive cannabis intake. Still happens a lot more now though. Also "hitting the wall" happens to me regularly, and that's very new. I'm an outdoorsman, I used to be active morning to night, now I'm lucky if I make to afternoon.
I'm so sorry to hear that. What does that feel like?
He can't remember.
I've had long COVID for a while now, and I wonder how many people are affected by it without realizing it, and just pass it off as exhaustion / trouble sleeping?
Brain fog is a common symptom of hypothyroidism and dysautonomia. I always wonder if the things that helped me with brain fog from those two things help people with long covid. Granted, I also take thyroid hormones at a replacement dose (meaning, my thyroid doesn't have to produce any of it's own hormones), but the biggest immediate help before I got on those hormones was a handful of vitamins. Specifically D3+K, methylated B-complex, magnesium. I dunno I just always feel like those are so accessible it's worth looking into. Interested in the study's findings.
Eli5 brain fog ?
