Covid brain fog leading to dementia
My husband has been suffering from long covid for nearly four years. He still has a variety of symptoms and has just been diagnosed with Alzheimers in the mild to medium stage. I am wondering if there are studies of long covid leading to dementia.

I was 4 years LC 9/11/2024.
Explaining my brain fog, my doc told me I have "the files". It just takes time to find the right ones. But a dementia patient no longer has"the files" to find.
My headache and brain fog was so bad after covid . I finally saw a specialist after 3 months daily headaches which disabled me. The specialist was amazing (neuro), put me on a drug infusion and medication.
My symptoms went away after 2 weeks and although now I still do have them back occassionally , they were always much milder.
I’m curious. What did your infusions consist of?
experiencing the same. are you able to share which med and infusion protocol?
