I got it a couple of months after I got the most recent booster, but it was a very mild case. It was actually worse the time I got the flu. But a huge part of that was the vaccine and the additional booster. And since multiple family members have had blood clots (way before the pandemic) and my grandmother died from a blood clot, I think I’m really lucky.
However, I have had persistent memory problems ever since I had it. I can never remember if I locked my car and have to click the the fob to make sure it’s actually locked. I go int9 the grocery store for one thing and I get there and I can’t remember what it was. I’ll make a plan with friends and then by the time we’re off the phone or I get home or whatever I don’t even remember making plans and so I don’t write anything down to begin with. I’ll say I’ll do something for a project or a group or something and then before I get off the phone or whatever it’s gone.
This is not like me. I take cognitive tests once every couple of years and in the past I’ve tested in the 98th percentile for working memory. But no more. I sure hope this goes away eventually. And what I’m dealing with is far less than others who have long COVID and can’t do things like climb the stairs anymore because they get too out of breath.
People who say long COVID doesn’t exist can go fuck themselves
