Usually occurring after a major event, you may start experiencing a decline in short-term memory, impaired cognition, and inability to multitask. It happens in association with other medical conditions such as ME/CFS, traumatic brain injury, Epstein–Barr virus, pre-Alzheimers, mast cell activation syndrome, and Long COVID.  We'll be sharing our insights on the characteristics of brain fog, how to spot it, and what you and your doctor can do to manage it.
