Increasing anger, impatience, grumpiness and brain fog after 2.5 years

I'm 66, and I've had long Covid for a solid year and counting. I have had severe GI symptoms, couldn't eat for months and dropped 45 pounds. I also had autoimmune and neurological symptoms. The neurological symptoms were devastating. The autoimmune and neurological symptoms have resolved for the most part -- it took months. Some of the GI symptoms are much better now. I still have very bad sinus problems and considerable throat pain.

I lost the entire year to Covid! Didn't get a thing done. I'm an artist and I have not painted in a year. If I get Covid again, it will kill me. Of that I am certain.

I hope you feel better! Take care, Michele

I hear you! You are getting better and YOU WILL IMPROVE! I assume you have seen a neurologist. This is important that we all get an assessment with whatever symptoms we have.
YOUR CREATIVITY MUST NOT SUFFER!!! GET BACK TO PAINTING. The different paints you use may cause a reaction, initially like sneezing, dry cough. So start with colored pencils. Use your sketching pencil and pad to draw. To start may I suggest just using color and let it flow freely--make abstract compositions. It is fun to do to get your brain re-attuned to your painting. This reattunement may take 2 or 3 months or as long as it takes----give the brain a chance to connect back to your creative self. YOU CAN DO THIS!! I HAVE FAITH IN YOU!!!
