That's awesome! Thanks for sharing; I've been having a rough week and that made me smile. I know we don't know if it'll help, but it feels good to try something. And I found that the lead speech therapist is super-nice.
I didn't mention this, but when I first reached out, she told me it was a 3-year study, so there was no rush, and she wanted to make sure I knew my options. She knew I had a speech therapy order already, but there can be a wait to get started with therapy there, so she advised me to check on the wait time first so that I could figure out if I either wanted to start therapy first or do the clinical trial so that I could have the best chance of getting relief, more quickly.

The clinician said there’s like four different test groups and at the end, everyone gets to use whatever the most successful method is proving to be.
It’s a total win-win-win. We provide them with data to help science, solutions are approved/refined and rolled out to all of us, and we in the test all get the best brain workout. Whatever helps with brain fog, I’m up for it. Everyone with it knows it sucks.
As a tip, a long Covid neurologist said my guitar playing and figuring out a new computer and music production software is great cognitive therapy. He said it makes me have to process sound, solve problems, organize my approach, be creative, etc.
It’s slow going, but his main point was it’s good to keep my brain fogged busy with anything to work it into shape.
Thanks again
