2-Minute Neuroscience: COVID-19 & the Brain

[@lucindaayala4111]

Doctors, is it possible that the neurological symptoms may be a Molybdenum deficiency? As well as other vitamin depletions from where the body is experiencing an auto immune response . I consider covid a symptom . But the disease acts more parasitic in nature. Going through cycles of wellness and illness. Similar to the illness - malaria. Could it be that with infection people loose the ability to detox ? And lack the ability to also absorb necessary nutrients to improve wellness?

Ever since a mild case of covid that ended in September I have been having anxiety and insomnia, I started taking melatonin and atarax for sleep but I have to get on an SSRI because the anxiety peaks with my PMS/PMDD and I feel like my nervous system is out of control and hyerstimulated, idk if this will be a forever thing or not, but I’ve never felt like this, I have to lay down and relax a lot, it also brought on my cycle 2 weeks early and I was on birth control 🤷🏽‍♀️, it’s like covid activated a stress response and I now have to keep my stress low

[@italktoanimalsliketheyrehuman]

May I ask based on your username, if your daughter with autism had covid? I'm a 31 year old woman on the autism spectrum & I had the long covid; that's why I'm asking. Idk if you had like special info on how it affects autism folks lol. I thought I was going to lose my mind tbh. The sensory deprivation (loss of taste and smell) & other deprivation/restrictions were through the roof overwhelming at times. There were coping strategies I had that were cut off w/o any substitute while I was sick. Just the sitting & stewing and suffering took a toll on my mental state. And Idk if the autism affected this but when I was able to go back out in public again, it felt really weird.

I've read at least a few studies that have mentioned traveling through the olfactory system, going directly into the amygdala through that route, and then into the hippocampus. It explained why people have such emotional dysregulation as well as the well-known term brain fog. The amygdala associated with our emotions and the hippocampus associated with memory. I'm just a high school dropout but, isn't that worth mentioning?

[@bobbyhill4118]

Try running for endurance. Science says it enhances neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Eat more eggs and fish too as well as foods that boost serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine. Ever since I started running my short term memory started lasting for an entire day, and I can recall a chunk of conversation/information any time I need. Plus I memorize things faster than before. On top of that, better sleep, decreased anxiety, more joy when doing things, and of course I can run for 10 miles and I’m still over 200lbs and jacked So get to work, because a strong mind is a strong body and a strong body is a strong mind. On top of that, you can take a natural supplement called mucuna pruriens to feel more joyous, it’s a favorite of mine because it enhances sexual pleasure and enhances testosterone production. It even helps aid the symptoms of Parkinson’s. On top of that everything actually looks more colorful. Like crisply and definitively more colorful. With alpha gpc, an acetylcholine predecessor, my vision is sharp. Everything gets so defined it almost scares me, and my cognition is that much better.

People experiencing long-haul covid-19 should consider decreasing or quitting altogether caffeine also decreasing sugar intake can improve long-haul covid-19 symptoms in about 3 to 6 months. If you are one of those people that need your caffeine throughout the day you are increasing your mental decline and will eventually lose the ability to function realizing this early can lessen your recovery time people experiencing long-haul covid-19 symptoms need to do these two things right away decrease or eliminate caffeine and sugar from their daily lives I know asking people to do this is hard but it is necessary in order to fully recover from covid-19 not doing so can lead to early dementia lack of energy and depression. Other side effects include constipation headaches anemia nausea and vomiting stomach cramping and muscle pain

[@lorijane1973]

Never had ADD symptoms until after my first bout of COVID in 2020. Then I contracted COVID a 2nd time from my son in December of 2021. I tested positive and was physically asymptomatic, but had acute depression and anxiety. My son had the respiratory symptoms and the depression like me. It was horrible, I almost quit my job and left my husband. Two weeks of crying myself to sleep, I woke up one morning feeling completely normal. No depression or anxiety since. The same thing with my son. WTF does COVID do to our brains?!

[@Lilpumpkin505]

I got 2 vaccines, persknally I had no issues from the vaccines. Having been pregnant prior to the vaccine and having a new born effected me a lot and my brain function (cause mama brain is a thing). The vaccine didn't seem to change anything personally ​@MrHuddo. However a year later after moving in with my sister everyone in the house caught Covid from my sister who works at the hospital. I can say I never thought about covid being the result of my poor functioning (just assumed it was from stress and depression after having to drop everything and take care of my sister's 4 kids plus my own). But now that I'm sick (I'm going to get tested soon hopefully) and I have this massive headache (and I don't ever get headaches) and keep getting these brain zaps and body shocks consistently- along with an elevated feeling of stress and anxiety, and depression. Which seems to be all common symptoms of covid after doing research through forums. So I'm hoping to test myself as to confirm whether or not this is the results of covid

[@shmel3689]

Some questions I have: I know that vaccination makes you less likely to get severely ill but does it prevent long covid? Some people get covid from covid vaccines, is it possible to get long covid from some types of vaccines?

[@AMogus-jr6qk]

1. It has been proven to prevent long COVID to a reasonable degree. 2. Moderna poses a non zero risk for myocarditis in young men

[@kohtime]

Yes absolutely

[@chloebeadell3466]

So the Vaccines don’t contain any live virus (at least in most countries), so this wouldn’t be possible. It’s more likely people just happen to get covid around the time of their vaccine and just attribute it to the vaccine itself, as some vaccines for other viruses contain small doses of the virus.

[@jodycrawford2639]

Interesting...i never actually thought you could have long co vid from vaccines. I guess chronic fatigue could be a symptom.

I don't know one person who has gotten ANY prescription for positive COVID testing, not ONE. And I knew 14 people that have died from it, allegedly. I got it in March 2020,BAD and again last year, after first shot of 2,I never took 2nd one, wish Id never taken 1st one. Last week my nephew, his wife and 2 young autistic sons, all came down with it bad, despite their being fully vacinated, boosters up, work from home, homeschool boys, wear masks which don't do anything.... Look at the side of the mask's boxes,it'll tell you it doesn't prevent Jack 💩... And they ran 103 and 105 with it. 105 in a adult, is not good. One son kept having trouble breathing and the ER's in Springfield Mo. Are HORRIBLE, period. My handicapped son Went to another ER having chest pains for 3rd day, they could not get us out quick enough. Same hospital kept saying my kids Dad's had pneumonia... Naw He had COVID. He went to 5 hospitals, dragging his oxygen tank, AFib monitor and all, in less than two weeks. Ended up dying a couple months later, still sick as could be. Did anyone else have major hair loss?? That's how I KNEW the 1st time I had it... After seeing Alyssa Milano loose half her hair, I realized I didn't have the FLU.... Lungs haven't been same since. And I was 51 at the time, non smoker....

I would agree that it was the stress, fear and lockdowns that created excess cortisol in many people , that can trigger depression and anxiety. Continued uncertainty for 2 1/2 years can make it turn into an autoimmune problem and depression. Also the vaks can trigger autoimmune problems to get worse or produce them in people that never had autoimmune problems prior to vaks. This is all by design by the way… keep the world in fear and uncertainty!

Nothing is unclear. The neurological symptoms (as well as the vast majority of deaths) are caused by anxiety stress and stress hormones, their long term effects as well as acute anxiety during infection (cortisol and adrenaline). The symptoms are identical to those of panic disorder and MDD. The virus itself doesn't kill - or only after severe immune inhibition due to cortisol and anti-inflammatory Cytokines, leading to pneumonia. People die from anxiety caused circulatory distress (mainly elderly and heart patients), the influence of corticosteroids on metabolism (diabetes patients) and most importantly false response due to misdiagnosis of anxiety caused breathing problems, which they "treat" by intubation and multi-week general anaesthesia ("induced coma") of the high-risk group for propofol-induced death. And I can prove everything I claim with 100% certainty. Contact me for any questions.

Maybe you can use methylprednisolone instead of the vaccine?

[@boyinthebigcity]

There's conflicting evidence on methylprednisolone, and corticosteroids more generally, in the treatment of COVID-19 (2020 meta-analysis: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7554375/, 2021 triple-blinded RCT: bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12879-021-06045-3). Also, it would be used to treat a patient once infected, rather than as a prophylactic like a vaccine. It would be interesting to see a follow-up study with the triple-blind study I linked above comparing rates of long-covid, though the sample size is quite low for the 1/20 average rate.

[@jodycrawford2639]

Prednisolone helped me get over the flu. I believe it will help co vid patients with lung infections.

[@boyinthebigcity]

@@jodycrawford2639 It’s likely already used in hospitals for severe patients as it’s licensed for a type of pneumonia and is used off label for acute resp failure (ARDS). Steroids have a range of nasty side effects and are contraindicated for patients with heart disease, which is likely to coincide with those who end up hospitalised from COVID (i.e. geriatric patients). Mild-to-moderate viral infection is better fought off by your immune system, with the help of antivirals or antibodies if immunosuppressed/at risk. I believe Paxlovid is free from pharmacies in the US if you test positive, which works by blocking the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro (protease enzyme required for viral DNA replication).
