Summary
A Reddit user in r/covidlonghaulers wrote that their brain fog began after a COVID vaccination, alongside regular crashes and fatigue. In February 2022 they took famotidine, two pills a day for four days; their brain fog disappeared within 30 minutes and had not returned two weeks later. Fatigue and crashing also improved, though not completely.
