BBA, have you looked at the Survivor Corps website? They list Post COVID Care Clinics available across the nation and world wide

@bennu007, you hit on several key points, i.e., getting help early and getting validation. These are so important. Many patients feel they are not being taken seriously and often providers don't recognize brain fog. I think this earlier post from Dr. Van will also resonate with you:

Thank you, Colleen. I've been following this group for a while now. I had what I presume was Covid 19 early on, in March 2020, before testing was widespread. I have since developed the onset of migraine headache, brain fog, periods of anxiety, tinnitus, and nearly constant altered smell (the smell of something burning). Lung CT at Mayo revealed ground-glass opacities in my lungs which the pulmonologist said can be a sign of previous Covid infection. So, even without the proof of a positive test, I am quite convinced I am suffering the effects of long-covid. I found this recent article to be interesting and validating, and others might be interested. https://medicine.wustl.edu/news/covid-19-infections-increase-risk-of-long-term-brain-problems/
