Sure it was covid? The first diagnosis in the U.S. came on 1-20-20 from a 1-18 test. Were you in Washington?
Your doctor attributed the grand mal seizure to long covid?

The date of 1/20/2023 is the first laboratory confirmed case, from a traveler returning from Wuhan who checked himself into a hospital, where he was tested and found positive. That does not mean it was the first case in the US - just the first confirmed case. Blood donations taken in the US by the Red Cross in December 2019 have tested positive for COVID-19 and show it was in circulation in the US at least by December 2019. I believe caught Covid in the other Washington (DC). My neurologist cannot say for certain that Covid caused my epilepsy, but Covid can cause many neurological issues, including an increased risk of seizures. See articles below.
