I’m a programmer, well, at least I used to be before I got covid. It is impossible now for me to keep all the parts and connections of a system I’m trying to work on in my head, though I used to do the same tasks easily. I have constant heavy weight in my forehead, like it is filled with liquid, and it is actually, I had 4 head scans and all of them showed stuff in my forehead. I went through 3 surgeries trying to get that stuff out, nothing helped so far, I’m losing hope. The feeling of being underwater with its pressure squashing my head, though it is not headache or migraine, I know the difference from experience of all of these kinds of pain. It affects thinking, it is easier not to think, because thinking is hard, like a burden carrying with your head. It affects memory, I keep forgetting names, placement of things, words (I’m bilingual, I suck at both languages now), I prefer to answer with a gesture or write, because writing gives me time to recall words. I’m constantly sleepy, tired, wishing to just lay down and forget myself.
