In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
I (23M) caught covid back in March and had very strange symptoms that were not the common ones I’d read about.
In context ↗ - At worst: Mild
I had fatigue and shakiness that would basically be in sync with my heartbeat.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
The brain fog basically went away and is seemingly only temporarily triggered if I take stuff like cold medicine.

Summary
Caught COVID in March 2020, aged 23, and developed brain fog, fatigue, shakiness and a stronger, louder pulse felt throughout his body. Blood panel, TSH, neurological, eye and cardiovascular exams all came back normal. A neurologist suggested muscle tightness, but exercises did not improve it. By October 2020 the brain fog had largely gone, leaving minor shakiness and a louder heartbeat.
