I,ve similar issues. I,ve had chemo, open heart surgery,and covid.
Also they tell me i,m old. And I,m only 77. lol
Just can't blame it on only 1 thing.
My advice...I really don't have any. If you figure it out please please let me know.

It is what it is no time to worry much about it just keep putting one foot in front of the other I’m still trapping life is good.

I hope you get it sorted out. God bless.

I'm right there with ya Buddy. It happens. I worked at a COOP 30 yrs ago and still remember customer account numbers but can't remember the zip code here where we live.

Did you go for a test for onset of dementia?
That wont show up on an MRI.

Yes I get one every Drs visit but seeing how withdrawn induced is the cause or Covid it blurs the issue. I kick butt on trivia but a few things are tougher now. .

wife had the same issue after covid, so bad that she went and had a bunch of tests nothing shows up, much better now two years later,

About the same deal here more annoying than anything else I’m hearing about it more and more.

Law Dog enjoy your posts! Glad you are feeling/thinking a bit better.

Fibromyalgia can mess up your concentration and stuff

My wife also suffers from chemo fog, Some days are worse than others , It's gotten to the point that I won't let her drive, I take her to all her DR. appointments and where ever else she wants to go. Covid didn't help matters either. Good luck Jerry.

I hurt in a lot of places mostly from being young and dumb and getting it done but now I’m paying the price for if it’s an expected outcome I’d say. I look at my brother in law a retired farmer and he’s in worse shape than I am, he’s been run over by several cows.

I’m ok once I get rolling I just start out like a steam engine slow and noisy to get going.

Jerry, that looks exactly like what I could have wrote. Hand’s don’t work anymore, and arthritis in my back really slows me down. A few years back, I decided to try and improve my A1C. Went on basically the Keto diet, cut the carbs out, clear down to under ten carbs a day. I had the same brain fog of which you speak, and with time I got over it. a1C started creeping up, so I went back to eating more carbs. Helped in some ways, but hurt in others. It was getting too high again this fall, so I went back on it again, with a twist. I included intermittent fasting along with the diet, and started eating more fat than the first time. Big difference this time, feel much better, no Keto flu, no head fog, but still can’t remember anything! Good luck bud!

A little 110v zap cleans the brain out for awhile. Mine started at 50, arms weren't long enough to see anything written clearly anymore. My short term memory, vocabulary are going to crap. I can see the words I want to say or use in a sentence or speaking to someone but can't remember how to say them. It can be demoralizing to an extent, but then I make fun of myself and move on. My brother who is 62 just got diagnosed with progressive early onset dementia. My father had frontal lobe dementia. Doesn't bode real well for me.

{Im still trapping and life is good}. Words to live by. Happy News Years you guys.

Some of the older farts on this forum that grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, probably burned away their short term memory 40-50 years ago!

Pass the bong dude, before you forget where you are !!!!
