Summary

A person with long COVID described, four and eight months after onset, brain fog that filled most of the day, a pressure feeling in the centre of the forehead and light-headedness when walking. Exercise brought next-day fatigue, brain fog and forehead pressure lasting one to two weeks. By eight months they were taking it easy; some things were better and others worse.
