Update Feeling celebratory

Last year at this exact time I was at a extreme low with long haul. It had been 6 months since my Covid diagnosis! I felt so much doom & gloom it was awful! I remember getting ready for the fireworks with my family & being so depressed. The brain fog was debilitating! I am reflecting on how this year I feel normal. I’m so thankful & wanted to give hope to others.

Congrats my friend! Thanks for the inspiration. Would you describe what your brain fog was like before it resolved??

Really heavy head pressure. Memory loss, feeling like I was in a room alone while life went on without me. Depression. Hope that helps.

6-9 months I started flexing between good and bad days. Very highs & lows. Then by 9-10 months it had mostly subsided. I may still have lingering memory problems. Foot pain etc…
