Haven't heard about the loss of reading ability, but for a couple weeks after COVID I would regularly lose pretty common words and spoken sentences would just dissolve into pauses.

This just gave me a jolt. I’ve been doing this for the last several months and I noticed it not long after I had Covid. I also get a lot of headaches now too which I thought might be Covid related but the losing words thing never occurred to me.

Oh, damn. I've had nearly constant headaches too, but that's been happening since COVID started at least (I assume that is heat/stress related).

Just for discussion purposes, my headaches feel like mild to moderate hangover level, sometimes one-sided, and acetaminophen/NSAIDS do almost nothing. And they come on with no apparent cause. Yours?

Mine are like the stress headaches I’d get behind the eyes when I wasn’t studying for upcoming exams. I get them mostly morning and evening time.
