Summary
Dates their illness to eight months after a second Pfizer dose in August 2021, with anxiety, vision and concentration problems, confusion and difficulty finding words. They also had brain fog, fatigue and PEM, and in 2025 described a near-constant sensation in one location that only neck massage eased. A Neurosym neuromodulation earpiece calmed a stuck-activated nervous system but did nothing for other symptoms, and marijuana worsened their brain fog.

Personally my brain fog and ability to find the right words when i was speaking became noticeable worse, while on marijuana
In context ↗ - neurosym (neuromodulation device) · Helped
I am using neurosym, about 15 minutes are enough to calm you down. ... No any help in all the other symptoms( brain fog, fatigue, PEM)
- neck massage · Helped
For now the only thing I can think of that helped me is neck massage nothing else unfortunately
