I had COVID 2 months before the vaccine was available and have not been able to walk well since. My balance is terrible and I feel dizzy often. Does anyone else experience this? Also, I was the president of a couple organizations and now am just not able to organize my thoughts well enough to maintain my position. Maybe it is brain fog? Not really sure what brain fog is... can anyone describe what they experience when they say they have brain fog?

yes, i have the same thing...it comes and goes. sometimes i feel as if i have been drinking! the brain fog thing , well it's as if my brain has fallen behind my thoughts..like i am slower in doing things..my mind has to think harder on what it is i want to do....never ever had this before covid that i got flying on a plane december of 2019...all this just adds to the other symptoms i have, i just thank God everyday that i am still able to work on fighting all of it....hang in there...we can beat this, we have to!!!

A neurologist told me the number 1 cause of dizziness is vestibular migraine. I couldn’t tolerate the meds, verapamil and elavil. Magnesium I could take. PT didn’t help, but she said walking is the best thing you can do, so I use walking sticks on a daily walk and ignore the dizziness. I haven’t fallen yet! I’m much better.

I can’t find the word I’m looking for and /or I’m in the middle of a sentence and suddenly have no idea what I was talking about. It‘s so scary because I’m 72 & feel like I’m have dementia but I was fine until I got Covid.

Balance was a big issue for me. Physical Therapy gave me exercises that really helped.
This is my brain fog: trouble finding words when talking, loosing track of what I am saying, unable to complete multi-step activity (following a recipe, directions to a new place, making appointments), simple math/story problems, spelling, remembering where the car is parked, getting lost driving, concentration, follow through. IM me if you would like to chat in more detail.
