Long Covid brain fog occurs in approximately a third of #COVID-19 survivors and is now the THIRD leading neurologic disorder in the United States. - Dr. Igor Koralnik Northwestern Medicine study details neurologic symptoms.
SARS-CoV-2 quickly invades nerves, reaching the brain before it spreads in blood.
Blocking Neuropilin-1 greatly reduces the virus’s entry into nerve cells.
“Want to see what a “COVID Brain” can look like?
Here’s mine. The white spots are not supposed to be there. You can’t see the microhemorrhages or swelling.
Infected early March ‘20- pre-vaccine.But the threat is still here for everyone-vax or not, young or old.
Please mask up.”
“The most helpful #MECFS #LongCovid educational series out there right now is Dr. Jarred Youngers video series on "Neuroinflammation, Pain, and Fatigue".
Start at the beginning or jump in as your interest is piqued. There are now 28 shortish videos (most under 15min) and this series will provide an incredible grounding in all things neuroinflammation.
Dr. Younger is all about the 'tools' and 'interventions' and patient education and has done more to educate us about available interventions for neuroinflammation than any other researcher.”
In addition to brain fog, COVID-19 can lead to an array of problems, including headaches, seizure disorders, strokes, sleep problems, and tingling and paralysis of the nerves, as well as several mental health disorders. A large and growing body of evidence amassed throughout the pandemic details the many ways that COVID-19 leaves an indelible mark on the brain. But the specific pathways by which the virus does so are still being elucidated, and curative treatments are nonexistent.
From paired MRI imaging in >1,300 people: the pandemic accelerated brain aging. "Accelerated brain ageing correlated with reduced cognitive performance only in COVID-infected participants."

Studies have provided substantial evidence that COVID-19 damages the brain, revealing a range of cognitive and neurological damage:
