I'm 25 months since getting Covid, and about 19 months since I developed Long Covid. It's been a long road, but I'm sure it's going to take a couple of more years at least to heal from it completely.
I'm fortunate that it didn't get into my lungs, though I was diagnosed with asthma just within the past couple of months, and the doctors are sure it was caused by Covid. I now have inhalers that I have to use on a daily basis. But the main four symptoms that I developed; chronic fatigue, insomnia, nausea and brain fog/dizziness/confusion are still hanging on. They are not as bad as before but that's because I stay home and rest and pace myself.
Part of what you shared kind of rings home. I have to concentrate more when I'm going about daily chores. For instance, I have to upload info from my CPAP machine to my computer each day. I have to ensure that I lock the SD card before I insert it into the SD slot on my computer. I also have to unlock it before putting it back into the CPAP machine. I've neglected to do both from time to time. I will also throw away things I don't mean to throw away. I threw away a small plastic cup, and I think I threw away one or two my eating utensils. I also have to concentrate more when I'm out and about. And I live alone so I have no backup close by. I'm trying to move closer to my daughter but housing for seniors is hard to come by. So I wonder if Covid didn't do something to my neurological system.
Again, I appreciate your post. Thank you for sharing.
So I would be optimistic that your memory of that time will continue to improve.
Yes what you describe is what I had. And it made life hard.
For me it returned 100 %.
Keep your chin up.
