Symptom narrative

After my most recent Covid-19 booster 3-24-2025, I noticed a dramatic increase in memory issues. The most recent and disturbing was my loss of ability to remember which road to turn down to drive to the medical center I have been going to for 40 years. It was as if a screen in my mind went blank. I was fully aware of who I am, where I was, but I could not "see' which road I needed to turn down. I had to activate my Maps and look at it to remember the way. Very disturbing and different from the usual "where did I leave my coffee cup" that I have always had. I literally could not pull up my mental GPS. These types of "going blank" have been slowly increasing since my first booster this year (9-6-2024). In doing some professional medical research reading, I found that memory issues, though rare can be a side-effect of Covid vaccines as well as the disease itself. I wanted to document my experience as the CT scan (listed below) came out "normal."
