Many millions of Americans who have survived COVID infection now suffer with long COVID. A frequent symptom is brain fog consisting of diminished concentration, memory, critical thinking, focus and cognitive capabilities. It is mental fuzziness. The fuzzy sluggish mind is not what it used to be. This condition may go on for months or years after the initial COVID infection--which may have been mild and not severe or symptomatic.
Many facets of brain fog
These are the many other ways to understand brain fog in terms of common everyday activities:
Difficulty planning and prioritizing activities and tasks
Difficulty estimating how long things will take
Having to read or listen a few times to "take in" information
Not being able to think of the right word, or forgetting what you wanted to say in the middle of talking
Taking longer to learn new processes or activities
Mental fatigue, as significant as physical fatigue that plagues many long COVID victims.
Chronic inability to store new information in your brain or recall the older ones
Partial impairment in the use and understanding of language
Problems with planning and organizing the weekly schedule as you used to
Loss of ability to make calculations and resolve problems quickly
Gradual deterioration of brain functions that help in recognizing shapes and plotting charts or directing into your daily destinations
Mental confusion and lack of concentration.
Chronic tiredness; people feel as if they have no energy to execute their daily chores.
