@schizanon I have found that a little Blueberry Skunk works well to help clear away some of the #LongCovid induced brain fog for me and help me get things done (I also have ADHD but the LongCovid outclasses it ). But if you have issues with headaches or sinus pressure it tends to amplify your awareness of them. It also helps with my LongCovid-induced bouts of nausea.

Self medicating on coffee has its limits … when the heart is beating so fast that the skin is rippling like waves on the ocean and you’re past the point of concentration you wanted and now you’ve been looking at a wall for 4h, I think it’s time to dial it down a bit.
Focus and concentration are important but not at the cost of reducing your lifespan. Balance is key. I’m honestly discovering it only lately.
I mean, you do you but I prefer to live as long as I can to pursue answers and introspection :)
