How are you coping if you have long term brain fog from covid?

Posted by dh524 @dh524, May 30, 2024

Brain fog has been persistent since I got Covid a year ago. I have to read everything 3 or 4 times and then forget what I read like for example instructions. Is anyone else dealing with this?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

I don’t mean to complain but I was an author of 10 books and that long covid gave me brain fog so bad I couldn’t remember what I ate for lunch the day before my writing skill went down such a drastic level, it’s just not fair I can’t even write 4 years after this started, it’s so incredibly much harder.

Perhaps brain exercises may help. I do crossword puzzles. I noticed I must focus on where I put each item in order to remember where I can go back and find it, but I am pushing 79 so age may be a factor. I've only had long covid for 14 1/2 months.

So sorry! I can relate, only my difficulty is reading. In 2023, I read 75 books. Then I got Covid (for the fourth time!), and I don't think I've read a whole book since. Ugh.

I noticed I hadn’t read a book in 4 years (since my long COVID). I’m actively trying to read again , even if it’s below my reading level or lighter weight stuff. I can follow audible books NP so I enjoy those.
