Anyone think that it’s no longer long Covid? just permanent damage?

I’m my case l know is permanent damage. The MRI, Encephalogram and Evoke test showed abnormal function of the left temporal lobe and frontal lobe. The test results are compatible with my symptoms l never had before. Brain fog, slight short term memory, insomnia and right hand tremor. This retired me from practicing orthodontics. There are no drugs to fix brain damage. At least l can function for daily life, although l battle with the tiredness of the inability to sleep and rest. I still exercise, eat right, take supplements and push my self. The Ambien is the only consistent med l take now, but is hit or miss. Accepting the situation has allowed me to get off anti depressants. Until stem cell research and usage for treatment, l don’t see pharma curing anything. That won’t happen in my lifetime.

I wish everyone here healing. My personal thoughts stem back to my experience. I think I am a conundrum to all my doctors. PCP, Rheumatologist, and Neurologist. In 8/21 got my 1st covid vaccine got my 2nd 9/21 exactly 3 weeks later felt nauseous, went to bed early, got up a bit later and puked my guts out. Got up the next morning and felt very unbalanced when I was walking. Went to pharmacy and got a quick covid test it showed negative. Went to my PCP in Nov 2021 and was telling him how I felt and he ordered a carotid artery scan and an MRI. He called me to come to his office after he got results and told me I had had 2 small strokes. I was completely shocked. Then on Jan 21, got out of bed and told my husband I actually think I am feeling better. Later on the day he started feeling bad, chills etc. Next day still chills but said things did not taste right. Took him for a covid test, 4 days later it came back positive, I got sick that night. Fever, aches and headache. Went next day for covid test, mine came back negative. I had been going to my PCP for fatigue and we were trying to figure this out before all this covid crap happened, now I am really messed up. I had a serum antibody test and it came back positive for having covid. Mr Wolf I know exactly what you mean about not being able to fix the brain. I am 78, but dang I used to do all sorts of stuff and can't do crap now.

I sympathize with your situation. I am sure you want facts and data and not sympathy though. I know I do and getting some facts is not easy. I hope you will continue to update all of us of your progress.
