Oh wow I've been blaming alcohol abuse on brain fog. I quit drinking last year but still can't remember words all the time, same with finishing sentences. Struggling with being articulate all the time. And this all started during covid.

That could be long COVID but it could also unfortunately be the after effects of heavy drinking. Did your brain issues start after you had COVID?

Yeah which would be quite the cost of coincidence if it is alcohol related after introducing the variable of covid. I'm healthy now, perfect liver function after blood tests. I mean I still might have lingering effects of alcohol abuse.
