I think there is something wrong with me

My brain literally forgets things I've know for years. A few weeks ago I couldn't get into my house because I forgot the code and and had to call my mom. We've lived here for over 7 years. Then today I spent 30 minutes trying to remember the swiping motion to unlock my phone that I use everyday

Have you had COVID? Brain fog is a common after effect of that.
@NerdyPotato @SkeetSkeet I can vouch for this, I'm still getting mental blocks and making stupid mistakes and it's been more than three months since I had it.
@NerdyPotato Honestly same. I had it a month ago and I usually have a pretty good memory and now I can't seem to remember anything.
@Mindfulness and sadly it's most likely permanent, considering it can either come from chronic fatigue or brain damage.
@NerdyPotato ah bugger. 😖
@Mindfulness yep, COVID is no joke or a mild flu, regardless of your health before catching it.
@NerdyPotato I do know, I was tripple jabbed and pretty fit but still got knocked off my feet for over a week. The lethargy and brain fog are still an issue.
@NerdyPotato Dang. Yeah I had a fever of 104 it was pretty bad I guess it's hard to come out unscathed.

@NerdyPotato I saw a study that says that in accelerated brain volume loss is happening in 56-68% of people who got covid in mild non hospitalized cases have long lasting deleterious effects on brain structure and function.

Basically people have long term significant loss of volume and grey (thinking stuff) matter. Just a cold though right 🙄
@iamonfire696 yes, there is no such thing as a mild case or low risk. Everyone can be severely impacted by COVID regardless how strong your immune system is. It pains me to see how many people don't understand this and borderline promote infecting the whole population.
