Two people in my small circle are having a cognitive issue from covid. Neither vaxxed so cant blame it on that. One was following the ivernmectin protocol. One wasnt. Both seem to have altzeimer/dementia symptoms. Both in their early 70s. Both happened during the illness. Both perfectly fine mentally before. Both have undergone mri/ct scans with no problems found. One has been dealing with it unsuccessfully for 18 months. The other since right before Christmas. Im wondering if anybody has come across this side effect or have found any resources of what might help. Thank you guys!

I have a few friends who have told me the same thing after they recovered from Covid. Of those few friends, a couple told me around a year later that things were getting better slowly but surely.
One of my friends is incredibly intelligent and has been struggling with not being quite as quick as she used to be. Her memory is spacey and she can get lost in the middle of a sentence.
I've told her that as she continues to improve, she just needs to make room to adapt her behaviors a bit. No, she didn't used to need a planner to keep track of her stuff, but for right now, maybe it'd be helpful. Maybe instead of having that conversation on the phone, she can write it out in an email where she can double-check her words.
In my opinion, it's about adapting to the change rather than fighting it. Maybe it'll clear up over time, or maybe they'll figure out how to reverse it more quickly, but in the meantime, you have the brain you have, and you can find ways to adapt if your brain is working a little differently than you're used to.
With my sister in law, she's forgotten where light switches are in a house she's lived in since 1978. Couldn't find my bathroom which was 5 feet away and has been here 100s of times. No signs of improvement after 18 months and neurologist cannot find anything wrong.
