Symptom narrative

Neurological. Patient first noticed minor fumbling with their fingers at their laptop the morning after the vax. Patient is a neuroscientist and musician. On the evening after the vax, patient attempted a practice session at the piano and could not remember long passages from pieces previously well-established in memory, including pieces played fluently the night before the vax. Impairment still ongoing today, two days after vax. No other evidence of amnesia or cognitive impairment, brain fog, confusion, etc. Impairment at the piano was/is profound. Patient's speculation as a neuroscientist is that it reflects cerebellar inflammation/neuropathy affecting muscle memory stored in cerebellum.
