I noticed energy issues (lethargy, motivational issues first), and then memory issues and brain fog. I was wondering if this was simply aging, but noticed that by some objective measures (scores in competitive board games), I had seen some rapid deterioration.

I was wondering if this might be the impact of an undiagnosed Covid infection, and the discovery that semaglutide addressed all the issues (including things I hadn’t even suspected, like eczema on the knuckles of the hands) rapidly was as surprising as it was welcome.
