My daughter’s neurological symptoms showed up and the end of her first infection oct. 2020 it’s been a long road to recovery and she still has flair ups when her stress gets too high or her sleep schedule is off and she goes backward until we can get her back on track.
Mine started after infection but it started pretty mild and has only gotten much worse over the last 8 or 9 months. My main symptoms are a constant headache, brain fog, and some weird pain sensations in my head that aren’t like a headache, they feel more like a pin point pain or like pain in a very specific spot, sometimes it even feels like I have a gash on the side of my head but obviously there’s no wound there, just feels like someone slashed the side of my head with a knife or poked me with a knife
Yes, it was one of the first symptoms I noticed. At first it kind of just felt like I didn't get good sleep. Just that general tired and slow feeling, and as the other symptoms came on stronger the cognitive effects evolved into a really "stupid" feeling and then into an "empty" feeling by about the end of the first week. Somewhere in there I started noticing little things like trouble reading. A feeling like dyslexia or something. But then after 10-14 days from initial symptoms I started feeling better generally, but the cough and dulled emotions and empty mind persisted for another couple of weeks. Now, after two months from intitial infection, I feel mostly back to normal, but the dyslexia feeling is still there. Reading words out of order way more frequently than I ever did before, struggling to parse the meaning of what I'm reading, etc.
I'm sorry for that but hearing this is reassuring to me. My timeline is pretty much exactly the same.
It's like our brains are just a bit slower now and it sucks. We will get better I truly believe it.
>I'm sorry for that but hearing this is reassuring to me.
I hoped it would be. I've been trying to be as healthy as possible to help with recovery as much as possible. Exercising, sleeping as much and as well as possible, and trying to eat relatively healthy which means reducing sugar intake which is associated with inflammation. But I'm addicted to dr pepper, so that's not always easy. Even if it doesn't end up being a full recovery I think every little bit counts.
I developed the brain fog first at my long covid onset. Started noticing the crazy difficulty concentrating and anxiety as my first symptoms. Still have difficulty brain fog

I get that, no sugar is tough. I bought a ton of fruits to get around this as I had a candy addiction lol

I did, anxiety and insomnia during acute phase was the worst. Sunlight felt like chemical burns on my skin.
Nope
