I came here to read and basically make this comment. The GP was very dismissive - or at least cast FUD on the whole notion. We are in this place where we are the best experts about our own body, yet at the same time that experience and knowledge is being cast doubt on because ... why exactly? Why is it so hard to take people seriously? Other comments in here seem to be basically like "well you were fragile/brain weird before so whatever I guess". Just remember, every person who is struggling after a bout of COVID and not feeling right... that is a person, that could be your friend, parent, sibling, loved one... Ultimately the proper response imo is "that is really concerning and we should do more research" rather than "well this happens after every illness". Which is "true" but also not really true, simply because long covid is way more prevalent than lingering symptoms after EB, the flu, colds, etc.
