Over the years I've painted and written a lot about my brain, trying to process how it feels to live with FND and, more recently, Long Covid.
I thought I'd share some here so that when I'm suffering from even worse brain fog than usual I can find them.
I painted this in 2015 when my brain first started badly misbehaving

This series of 4 paintings and haiku were trying to explore how I live my FND

This is related to the mental health side of the brain

I created this when my brain was in a horrible state with Covid. It is in my book Dormiveglia; Living with Long Covid

This painting and poem are all about brain fog and is also in my book Dormiveglia; Living with Long Covid
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/081fa5_b82b184cd96a4a99a55b5c158cdeed06~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_1246,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/081fa5_b82b184cd96a4a99a55b5c158cdeed06~mv2.jpg)
And here's another from my book Dormiveglia; Living with Long Covid
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/081fa5_647c63522e2541b3a0707e06d83b5e89~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_1201,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/081fa5_647c63522e2541b3a0707e06d83b5e89~mv2.jpg)
And finally (for now) here's a painting representing the way it can feel when my whole body and brain are refusing to communicate properly and how that makes me feel in the world.

I will update this page as I create or find more that I've forgotten about. Got to love brain fog.
