Reading this, I'm wondering if I'm suffering "Long Covid"

I've recently had tons of memory and brain fog. I thought it was related to stress, and it's severe enough that I'm on medical leave from work right now

My memory is absolutely terrible

Do you know if it is possible to test or verify if it's COVID related?

I haven't had a lot of success so far in getting a diagnosis, there's a lot of different possible things that can be wrong. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is one place to start. I'm seeing an allergist about MCAS, I've had limited success taking antihistamines and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Mostly you talk to your doctor and read stuff and advocate for more testing to figure out why you're not able to function like before. Even if it's not "Long COVID" it definitely sounds like something is causing these problems and you should get it looked at.

Try taurine supplements. If you feel better it could be Long Covid.
