Clémentine realized she had brain fog when she couldn't remember a friend's name.

Transcript

So I didn’t notice it at first, I only noticed it because other people told me. I did seem to be losing a lot of material objects and forgetting things a lot in the month of February, so just after. And then mid-February I noticed one day that I went to the climbing gym where I meet a lot of people and I couldn’t remember one of my friends’ names and I had known him for five months. So it took me about two days to remember his name and even then I couldn’t remember how to pronounce it. So that was a bit of a shock, but I thought it was just a one-time event, did not make the link at all to potential brain – I didn’t even know what brain fog was at the time. Until towards the end of February, I went on a long trip with friends, so we chatted for about four hours and also during the day. And that’s when at the end of day that they told me that I was repeating myself, that sometimes yeah, I was asking the same questions. What I noticed is that sometimes I would remember having asked the question, but not remember the answer. And sometimes I had completely forgotten that I asked the question. So that’s about the time when I made the link – I think it’s because I called my parents who then, for me, made the link to COVID and then I looked it up and I saw that there was a lot of research linking COVID to brain fog and memory loss.
