Cognitive decline.

Tested Positive - Long-Hauler

Has anyone encountered cognitive decline and how did you recover.

So I had Covid officially confirmed in January 2023 (possibly at the end of 2022, not tested). Mild symptoms and loss of taste. Lately recovered. At this point I was going through a traumatic experience and noticed that my cognitive functioning declined. I didn’t connect it to Covid but grief. A year ago, I contracted a really bad form of Covid, tested positive and was bed ridden for nearly a week. Ended up with some form of skin irritation that lasted for about 6 months and was gone. However, cognitive decline is significant. My husband and siblings do not notice it, however I feel like I have an attention disorder of some sort. I used to have a phenomenal memory it’s not the same anymore. I can’t remember things, events anymore. It used to be enough for me to meet a person once, interact with them a few minutes and I would remember their face and name a year or two later. Not anymore. I can’t read books anymore. I have no patience to watch recipes and podcasts, I watch them on 2x speed. It scares hell out of me. I see all the articles and it is a thing but nobody knows yet if it’s reversible.

I am taking Lion’s mane and other multivitamins and seems like my memory slowly returns. But not focus. Thanks for reading and any advice appreciated
