Hope this helps. I’m an old man but in really good shape in my 60s I was bench pressing 90 pound dumbbells. Each hand
Things were going great
F—- Covid hit I got all the same symptoms that you have specially brain fog. memory was horrible Can’t remember much after 2 to 3 weeks would feel like two or three years-what I kept doing for the next 2+ years was working out eating good and having good support system, my wife.
I was pretty bad at one point I needed help to walk 10 or 12 blocks where before I could walk all day
by the time I got home I felt somewhat OK finally now I’m getting better feeling better. It takes time.
Ps. This would’ve usually taken me give or take five minutes to write now took me 10 to 15 minutes but two years ago it would’ve took me 30 to 40
Stay strong

@bigj : suefish says thanks for the encouragement!!

@bigj I am 49 yrs old as of Oct 3rd. I have long Covid. Right now I am fighting the inflammation all over my body came on 4 months ago and prednisone helps but not something I can take all the time . DHEA helped me with massive brain fog, it's a part of how testosterone comes into the body. That being said it only helped with Memory issues but I'm thankful The all over the body inflammation for me is causing a big issue a Voltaren helps but says can't be used on rib cage area. I take NAD shots 150mg 2 times a a week which is where the main ingredient in Voltaren comes from but that helps very little so far. This is week 8 for the shots of NaD I have heard it takes months . For that to help
