I am a first time responder ! No official dx of long covid but have had huge memory changes , many “ black holes” of time , tho function day to day mostly normally .. total neuro eval was normal , scans etc, with dr deciding aging brain ,I’m 80. I’d had a TGA episode after my first covid vax after which the memory issues seemed to have begun. Neuro doesn’t feel related but my pcp can see it .Im an NP so I of course have lots of opinions! My kids stare when I’ve no clue to what they are referring at times ..makes me so sad .
On low dose exelon which I think is helping tho worse again after a covid booster …..shouldn’t have gotten it …..fluoxetine seems to be helping some ,AND BEING A SERETONinreuptake drug it should be helpful.
Lots of supportive friend and husband .. just wish it was better defined

I didn't mention in my earlier post (I don't think...heck, maybe I did, lol...darn long covid...) that my inability to draw or remember started after my second covid vax. It was within an hour. So, reading about your TGA episode after your first vaccine struck me. I don't mention the reaction to the vaccine to anyone, because it does not seem to sit well, which I understand, to those who are still getting the vaccine. I was never an anti-vaccine person, but now I am wary, especially now that I have reviewed the pages of what vaccines you are supposed to report if one brings about a poor response. I am sure glad my kids are grown and I don't have to make those decisions about others any longer. I stopped getting the vaccine boosters.
My Internal Medicine provider and also another NP in another office, fortunately, acknowledges the response to the vaccine. The Internal Medicine physician says that some people do not clear whatever vaccine is given, and it keeps cycling through the body. It can happen with other types of vaccines, not all, some, which is probably those that are listed on the vaccine adverse reporting website through the government.
But I just thought I would let you know that what I wrote earlier about what I cannot do, initially came about from the vaccine, well, and many covid infections probably did not help. And what you wrote helped me to not feel alone in that. - Thank you

@kmsanger63 suefish here — same kind of symptoms. SO aggravating!! Very stressed and that makes the symptoms even worse.
Good wishes.
