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.
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!!!
