Hi Robin Holly,
My symptoms have not been as severe or pervasive as your symptoms. My most prominent issue is brain fog. It definitely interferes with my daily functioning. I am not driving. I have a lot of trouble with basic household chores. I have lost sense of time, and have challenges with paying bills, banking and problem-solving. I live alone with no nearby family.
A therapist who works in a Covid clinic has recommended Speech Therapy for an eval and cognitive retraining. I don’t have a speech problem that I know of.
I have researched local neurologists, but I cannot identify one that I would use. (I am a retired health care professional and know several of the neurologist in my area.
My latest find, is a Neuropsychologist who specializes in evaluation and rehab. A family member used him in the past & I was very impressed. And…he accepts Medicare.
I am mentally clear for about 2 hours / day. During that time I have watched some You Tube videos about Covid brain fog. I stick with qualified professional who can make suggestions about resources in the internet. I have also added some brain stimulating activities into my daily life, easy Crossword Puzzles and Suduko (new to me)
I don’t know if any of those suggestions fit your situation. I wish you the best in your recovery. One coping mechanism that I have learned over the past decades is, “never give up hope.”
Hey there @fuzzy64 ,
Would you mind sharing the name of your neuropsychologist?
The speech therapy is for cognitive retraining to keep you on task, focused, and with problem solving. You have to find one that has worked with post COVID patients. I’m a physician and on FMLA and this is what I have learned so far.
