I get so frustrated with the Long Covid recovery groups when they prescribe neuro psych exams well in to your illness. In my case, I was nearly 10 months into long covid when I had mine. I asked what they were expecting to find as they had no baseline data prior to covid infection and any findings would be post infection without a comparison so it could not tell or indicate a loss of function. So when I took mine, they found I was average to above average and to explain away my assertion that I had memory, brain function problems - they asserted that I was arrogant or verbose in my belief I was smarted or my brain functioned better the weeks before Covid. I never had much respect for psychologists before covid - I have absolutely none now. The lack of common sense, competence in the treatment for long covid gives me pause as either they have no clue or they do and don't want the patients to have one ( a clue).
It seems so simple - there should be a standard set of blood test at 1 month, 6 months and yearly after that as long as you have symptoms. Additionally, you should have appropriate scans at 6 months then yearly until symptoms end unless the organs being scanned show damage. We know Covid can damage the lungs, heart, brain, nerves, intestines, pancreas, ..... They owe it to us as this desease is part of the rush to a cure and eventually 1 in 4 will be affected by it - up to and including death.
