Summary
Bramble 33641 had brain fog after COVID affecting memory, reaction time and vocabulary, plus low energy that kept them from doing much physically, though they said an unrelated medication caused lethargy. They played reaction-based games, read, used flashcards and practised memorising foreign words, and said these cognitive exercises aided their recovery, with better focus after an hour of reaction-game play. They felt they had got off lightly.
