This is fascinating, as I've said for many years I had all but forgotten about the MS, and when I first started having worsening symptoms they seemed to match exactly what some of the worse afflictions of long Covid I had read about.

And then just the other day I read somewhere that some research has found demyelination happening in patients with long Covid.

As for me, I haven't had Covid, and the symptoms are really common cognitive symptoms of MS. I feel sorry for having somewhat dismissed long covid as psychosomatic at times, while it might be for some (even the majority) of cases, I'm fairly certain there is something akin to MS that happens in the brains of some people after they have Covid, maybe it's even triggering something like MS, or MS... hopefully not.

How do you know you haven't had covid? Lots of people were asymptomatic.

I can't be certain, I haven't gotten tested, but the symptoms I've experienced have been gradual, and have tracked with new neurological symptoms of the sort that people with MS usually get (numbness, spasticity, etc.). Could it have been triggered by asymptomatic Covid? I don't know, but there have been enough factors already that were sufficient. Again, this is typical of MS and demyelination.
