Summary
After COVID-19 they had serious brain fog every day for about eight months. Switching to a diet of vegetables and fruit, drinking water and exercising helped, and they cut out processed sugar too. Brain fog eased to only occasional episodes, and by June 2021 they called themselves "pretty much healed" and "alive again". They did not get the vaccine.
