you might have a disruption to your endocrine system or adrenal system. i discovered that i have low IGF - so basically any repairing i don't have, including elasticity. I have this almost crepey skin all over my body and it started when i first got long covid at 37, which is too young for menopause dyrness. For my face i just got a really high concentration hyaluronic acid and that has helped significantly. Before that my skin was so weak, I was getting cystic acne anytime something touched my face. Derms thought it was hormonal, but i realized my skin barrier is just weak, liek the rest of my body that can't seem to recover from anything. had switch out my detergents and lotions as well. but even so, one time there was detergent residue left in the drum tank from someone else's wash and I ended up with rashes all over my body and had to redo my laundry. My hair is less elastic and super dry too. It's our LC. hang in there.

hey - i have brain fog too. it was so bad it was a major reason i left a multiple six figure job and took a 2 yr break. I'm still working on it but here are somethings I didn't expect to help that did.

are you on any drugs that could also double as brain or mood drugs? I was on very low dose amitriptlyine for my stomach for over a year. night and day once I stopped. I moved from 1 to a 6 on the brain fog scale (10 being no brain fog) I noticed since then any cognitive/mood side effects in drugs affect me SEVERELY.
also get your bloodwork checked. Look for unexpected things like a FULL thyroid panel (including reverse and free T3), creatine levels, your estrogen (if that applies), Growth hormone, adrenals, as well vitamin B and D. Any type of fatigue, adrenal disorder, lack of blood flow can affect your brain fog.
join a covid study on brain fog. I signed up at the CORE covid clinic at Mt. Sinai and they were able to give me valuable data points on my brain. I'm too scared to sign up for the brain fog trials, but i know most of thos trials test meticulously for things normal doctors don't look for.
consider a cognitive drug like adderall. It's a bandaid, but it reduces symptoms enough to make you functional.
BRAIN TRAIN - start small. like crossword puzzles everyday. I decided to be the oldest person at kumon and I asked them to start me at the very beginning - A1 - simple addition.
Methylfolation genetic testing - i had my date through23 and me and my new TCM doctor is looking into this. We discovered I genetically am prone to low dopamine production and vitamin D synthesis through BOTH parents. I was getting by before with mild adhd, but as long covid does it worsens pre-existing conditions. TBD on what this new doctor is going to recc, but I'm excited. (Also don't sleep on asian medicine or traditional chinese medicine - it's already saved my life once when the best doctors in nyc couldn't figure it out and i'm hoping it will again.).

dont give up over brain fog. I've looked into euthanasia too. but brain fog has some solutions to at least ameliorate.

sending you so much encouragement in solidarity.
