> Signs of brain inflammation were present up to 18 months after first contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Is anyone still recovering from COVID after 3+ years? If it's not permanent is it still to be considered a brain "injury"?

My SO still struggles with reduced short-term memory and clarity of thought, in addition to overall reduced energy and capacity.

Her period also went from clockwork to highly irregular. It's better now but still irregular.

She managed to get COVID just after getting the vaccine shot in early 2021, so a double whammy of sorts we recon. Symptoms started after that.
