Although neurocognitive dysfunction has been observed after infection by SARS-CoV-2, few studies have detailed these alterations or demonstrated their impact on daily life activities and work. Here, I describe the sequence of events following a mild COVID-19 infection in August 2020 (which now is described as "post-COVID syndrome") and comment on my ensuing limitations associated with cognitive difficulties, headache, fatigue and sleepiness. Furthermore, I discuss the efforts that I have made to recover from my infection since its beginning and the strategies adopted for living with persistent restrictions in terms of cognitive performance.
尽管感染 SARS-CoV-2 后会出现神经认知功能障碍，但很少有研究详细描述这些改变，或证明其对日常生活活动和工作的影响。在这里，我描述了 2020 年 8 月轻度 COVID-19 感染（现在称为“新冠后综合征”）后的一系列事件，并对随后因认知困难、头痛、疲劳和嗜睡而产生的限制进行了评论。此外，我还讨论了自感染开始以来我为恢复健康所做的努力，以及在认知表现持续受限的情况下为维持生活而采用的策略。
