When I had my intake at the long covid clinic at Mt. Sinai in NYC, I reported that I had a slight tremor in my hands for years (I'm 73) that post covid it had become so pronounced that I could no longer put in my contacts. The PA doing the intake said something along the lines of, "Covid seems to find our body's most vulnerable spots and makes them worse". Like others on this site, I had "marginal" blood pressure for years, that spiked post covid (along with my heart rate). My cardiologist said this is something they're seeing with many long covid patients, prescribing meds to deal with it. I'm not sure why any neurologist would refuse to see a long covid patient, at least to rule out any other issues and/or to help with managing symptoms. I have a neurology appointment later this month, and, while I doubt they can help with my brain fog, I'm hoping they might help with the hand tremors.

I have a number of long COVID issues. Most I haven’t found help for, but I was able to get rid of the brain fog with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Not covered by insurance, of course. The hospital closest to me wanted $2,000 a treatment. But I found a small clinic about half an hour from my home that had just gotten 3 of the chambers that would pressurize high enough. After 5 “dives” at 2.0 atm for 1 hour each, my brain fog was gone. It cost $1,000 but was worth every penny. I just wish it would help my muscle problems.
