Long Covid/PASC (general)
“I hate how much #LongCovid has messed up my brain, and particularly my short-term memory.
This evening, I needed to go to the toilet. So, I dragged myself to the bathroom. Once I got there, I forgot why I was there.
Since I was there, I went in and washed my hands…Then I stumbled back to the couch. 5 minutes later I find that I am now urgently needing the toilet. Dragged myself back to the bathroom.
Now I’m really confused. I remember that I’d just washed my hands, so I assume I had also gone to the toilet. I hadn’t. FFS.”
“Long COVID is causing disproportionate morbidity and disability in younger adults”
“PASC patients showed differences in brain activation in fatigue-related and additional regions. • PASC patients also had increased frontal task-related activation compared to controls. • Findings suggest PASC patients may exert more mental effort during demanding tasks.”
