I didn't know the symptoms, just the name, "prion", but a quick google ( you should never google your own symptoms, apparently, but they're yours, so it's fine... ahem ):
Prion diseases have very long incubation periods, often on the order of many years. When symptoms develop, they progressively worsen, sometimes rapidly.
Common symptoms of prion disease include:
* difficulties with thinking, memory, and judgment (you: brain fog)
* trouble sleeping (insomnia) (you: confirmed)
*? confusion or disorientation (brain fog?)
? personality changes like apathy, agitation, and depression

I recommend you get your hands on some N-acetyl-cysteine. The virus does a number on the mitochondria, which effects energy levels and everything else downstream. I also recommend you take 325 aspirin just in case.
I understand your point about cutting off long-term immunity with nutraceutical/pharmaceutical interventions. IMO, the spike is nasty and anything you can do to minimize exposure is the right course of action, even if that means you have to maintain vigilance and, perhaps, have another dance with the 'ro.
NAC is hard to find in the US, but this site carries it.
Hope you're feeling better soon. I have a couple autoimmune conditions that started three weeks after my first and only flu and took five years to diagnose. I do occasionally have brain fog but rarely. I call it "circling Pluto". I haven't found the magic trick but sleep deprivation definitely doesn't help. Sometimes I take melatonin, which the FLCCC also recommends for the viral infection.
I got the thing from a New Year's party. I never got the sore throat, although many others reported that symptom. I had three days of mild flu symptoms (headache, 102 fever, dry cough, and terrible muscle/joint aches all the way down to my fingers and toes), which morphed into what is now my third week of mild upper-respiratory cold symptoms (stuffy head, same dry cough, mild fever at 99). My fever finally abated yesterday. I have no doubt it was Omicron.
I can't take pharmaceuticals, but I wanted the benefit of known "cures" for my covid brain-fog. So I reverse-engineered Fluvoxamine, looking for the potential supplements that would help. Lo and behold, what I wanted already existed. It's called Synaquell by Thorne Nutrients. It was developed for athletes who suffer from multiple "assaults to the brain." Works spectacularly, at least for me.
It is day 18 since I had the pleasure of covid-19 fever and body aches set in. That lasted 2 days and then it felt like I would only have gunk in my throat to clear occasionally. I continued to work, felt okay. By Day 5, things turned. I had cold sweats and moments where my heart would race. I told my family that this felt unnatural, like I had been poisoned. I was weak and wanted to sleep it off. My smell and taste were altered, but not gone. By Day 8, I had a mobile IV nurse pushing fluids, antioxidants and vitamins. Thankfully, that turned me around for a slow, but steady, day by day improvement where my senses were restored, as well as my energy. I still can't finish my exercise routine from before infection with feeling winded, but I think of Mathew Crawford's post where his doctor told him that symptoms may linger for 20 days. Thank you for sharing, Brian. I hope your go is over quickly.
I hope you get better soon Brian. I had it a few weeks ago. I only had one real day of brain fog where even simple tasks took three times as long as they normally take. What I found really strange is where I had a lot of pain in an old injury site even though I had not used that limb excessively. It lasted about two days.
Didn't realize you were in Baja. I'm in La Paz, Baja Sur. Just saved myself almost half on Ivermectin by buying from Farmacias Guadajara instead of Farmacias Especializadas: MXN180/24g compared to MXN329.47. No prescription needed at the former, and the pharmacist used some generic in-house prescription at the latter.
Do you have an update on your COVID experience? Did it last long? Any long-term issues?
Get well soon Brian - sending positive energy your way!

What are the symptoms of prion disease?
Prion diseases have very long incubation periods, often on the order of many years. When symptoms develop, they progressively worsen, sometimes rapidly.
Common symptoms of prion disease include:
* difficulties with thinking, memory, and judgment (you: brain fog)
* trouble sleeping (insomnia) (you: confirmed)
*? confusion or disorientation (brain fog?)
? personality changes like apathy, agitation, and depression
? involuntary muscle spasms (myoclonus)
? loss of coordination (ataxia)
? difficult or slurred speech
? impaired vision or blindness
Curious if you've seen any of the other symptoms?
I found CoQ10 to really help with the fatigue and brain fog. But really anything that help mitochondria seems to help people.

Brother ... can I ask what else, outside water and food, did you take during the first five days and how much ?
I wish you recovery

Sore throat? Sounds like you need licorice. Get well soon.
Where do you get ivermectin from?

Aspirin to assist mitochondrial respiration?
Hope you continue to improve, tbh not liking the sound of this...

Ok now I need a link to your MMA fight videos please :D

Try famotidine+cetirizine.
