Holy shit I had a mild case of COVID with headaches as my only symptom. I then had long COVID and couldn't think straight, forgot words all the time, had trouble finishing sentences. It's terrifying to think this is why that was happening but it tracks because every time my feet got cold during that same time period one of my toes swelled up. Probably the same thing happening in my foot and my brain.

This is terrifying. I am 8 weeks in after testing positive. A blood exam reveal no more viral or bacterial infection but I still experience some anxiety and brain fog, today was one of those days (yesterday was an awesome day on the other hand).

I get cold hands all the time when I am starting to feel unwell.
