Struggling with Brain Fog While Reading, Need Help!

I'm in the same boat, friends. I have to make the conscious effort and choose to think sometimes when the brain fog is at its worst. Often I have to read something, translate the symbols into words, then into meanings, then into understanding in slow, individual steps that take taxing concentration I don't have. Reading outloud so I can hear myself or being read to kind of works sometimes. Otherwise, I have nothing and am mostly commenting to follow the thread in hopes someone out there has a magical solution.

I can relate! I have always been a speed reader, and I never had an issue with comprehension. I now have to re read the same sentences over and over again. I don't retain much information that I take in. It's so frustrating. My short-term memory is also awful. I'm still trying to figure out how to help this issue. Hope there are some people on here who have some tips!
