Summary
A very long COVID hauler with vertigo and brain fog started Ozempic and said the brain fog was gone within a week. By September 2024 they reported not being fully recovered and still having occasional inflammatory bouts, though side effects were minor compared with the brain fog and vertigo. They described Ozempic as a powerful anti-inflammatory.
