Depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses also cause memory problems. And mental illnesses are exacerbated by stress.

I might be in a fog, but I haven’t forgotten the mysterious “vaping illness” that cropped up in nursing homes around Fort Detrick months before the Covid outbreak in Wuhan

Right around the time when Fort Detrick shut down it’s virology labs for safety failures?

And here I thought the conspiracy was that it came from biolabs in Ukraine

It doesn’t seem that mysterious, the vaping illness itself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–2020_vaping_lung_illness_outbreak

I think it might be - people who have normal energy/concentration levels get long COVID brain fog and then start wondering if it’s a focus issue. I got dx’d with attention deficit issues a few years back but it really got bad after I got COVID. I definitely want to get back on a stimulant so I can function better but I’m making do with Wellbutrin b/c by the time I went to the doctor the shortage had already happened and it helps with my mild depression anyways.

huh, apparently it goes straight from “therapeutic dose” to “feel like shit” dose with no “fun times” dose in between like amphetamines have, probably a factor there

I’ve been on both at one point or another and I feel like you are on the right path.

One of the biggest keys seems to be reduced mitochondrial energy production in various cells/ tissues/ organs, induced by COVID-19. This can happen even with mild cases, alas. There are various ways to induce mitochondrial neobiogenesis, exercise being amongst the most accessible. Basically tell your body it needs more mitochondria by exercising.

Due to a programmer error relating to the cap on daily exercise and how the game stored dates you could get locked out of the gyms for effectively the remainder of the play through if you were unlucky with hitting daily limits on exercise.

(In addition, using a specific savepoint unlocked through main quest progression would just completely break the basketball minigame. San Andreas was a weird game, even by '00s jank standards.)

I may be a single data point but exercise did help with my post-Covid brain fog.
