For Long Covid Fog and Fatigue

I have not heard anything about either of the above. My neurologist in a Long COVID clinic offered to prescribe a low dose of amantadine, which is a medication used in Parkinson’s, and he said they’re having positive results in their Long COVID clinic for brain fog. (I decided not to try it yet because I’m very sensitive to medication.)

And they referred me to cognitive therapy, which is one aspect of Speech Therapy (speech therapy can encompass speaking, organizing thoughts/ideas, memory, swallowing and eating). I can’t say how it goes because I start in a few weeks.

He said those are their two main interventions, along with radical rest and pacing.

I tried nicotine patches for four days. I had really good results. I’m not 100% better but I am 1000 times better than I was four days ago. The dreams are crazy vivid and the patch tingles skin for a couple minutes. Those were my side effects. I thought it was worth the try. And I’m glad I did. I’m wondering if I should go a 5th day.

How did the cognitive therapy go?
