Have you gotten any treatment for it?

FWIW the evms guide has a section about possible long COVID treatment.

Thank you for posting that. So far the treatment has been mostly rest, what I've been told boils down to 'if there is neural damage then it will likely repair itself in time and if not there is nothing we can do about it'.

It's a pretty weird feeling, as if your sharp knife has suddenly gone dull, it is hard to describe the 'before' and 'after' because I'm both subject and observer but it definitely feels off.

The other day there was an article about Alzheimer's stages, and the first stage read like an exact description of what I'm experiencing. We'll see in some time if this is permanent, whether it heals or whether it gets worse. If it stays as it is that would be acceptable, if it heals that would be preferable and the third alternative is one I'd rather not think of.
