Neurological Implications of COVID-19 with Dr. Joseph Berger

[@jzen1455]

After all the tests come up 'normal', your doctors will be stumped and may possibly think it's psychosomatic or "all in your head" and grow annoyed by you. From then on, they may be more dismissive of any other issue you bring up. They may also make a notation in your medical records that you are a hypochondriac, so other docs will be dismissive as well.

Or, perhaps worse, your family will conclude something is wrong with you instead of recognizing you are ill.

Good to know. Thank you. I have my first in person, post positive test, doctor’s appointments very soon. This morning, I am experiencing my breathing feeling a bit struggle some. Two days of dry coughing. Four days prior I was fine. Not 100 but improving. Tested positive February 10th. I have been honest with my doctor and she has been amazing. Will have tests conducted during my appointment. Any advice is truly appreciated. Thank you.

Yep, that's what most doctors do with Neuro degenerative malfunctions caused by Neuro-inflammation, such as ME/CFS

[@anitabarbre4944]

I have Complex brain seizures and brain fog pretty bad. Also nerve damage in my hands and arms

[@kristienejosephbaquiran2017]

Anybody here who had covid a year ago and now having neurological problems. My arm, shoulder, foot are having sudden needle stab and feeling of weakening. Also, sometimes my lower back hurts.

[@hanahjoe716]

Yep it's so amazing how many people are suffering it's so sad hives all over my friends body her heart was beating out her chest awful

[@Jojoma449]

I’m having neuro pain in legs and hands for 3 months now. I had covid in January

[@freespiritwithnature4384]

This is causing really strange icepick headaches and unbelievable pain like electric shocks into the brain,crippling your ability to do everything. It’s hell . Ear nose throat brain pain, and neck pain,including tongue pain. The most bizarre symptoms.

[@wicksandsticks]

Yes the electric shock like feeling in your head. The tongue pain is so bizarre. My jaw hurts and sometimes my teeth. My neck is constantly stiff. I get stiffness into my face as well. It is debilitating. I get achy bones in other parts of my body as well. Sometimes my bones are so achy I feel like I’m 100 years old for real. I was in the hospital last Friday Jan 15 2021. The headache had gotten so severe I couldn’t focus my eyes and my balance was completely off. My doctor told me to go to the ER immediately. They gave me migraine medicine and an IV. I swear that IV worked miracles. I felt so much better. I have been drinking water with electrolytes by the gallon everyday since with tons of vitamin D, C and Zinc. It really helps. Not as effectively as the IV but it’s the only thing that I have done that really helps plus muscle relaxers well I am on Xanax. That IV has miraculous effects though. I wish I could have that IV 24/7. I am trying to hydrate myself on my own but it just can’t compare to that IV. The vitamin D is amazing though. My bones are not nearly as achy as before. Vitamin D is crucial. Fluid fluid fluid and vitamins I am swearing by it. I’m going to get some CBD oil as well so maybe I can come off the Xanax as it’s not good to use long term.

Did this go away over the past 9 months

[@hanahjoe716]

Yep I am the same. I actually lost my mind it really made go crazy I am still scared to enter my kitchen because I was so sick I thought it was unseen mold ripped my walls out in a crazied psycho I just could not understand why I was dizzy it was there all day every day had every test but nothing was found now I wonder if they did. This is so scary and you feel helpless beaten up bullied by this illness is psychological as well and this needs to be made main news

[@PrincessPineapple92]

Same here! 30 F .. also started with clogged ears numbness in face a headache that felt I was being slapped in the head over and over.. now pain numbness in legs and arms horrible migraines anxiety hallucinations. And extreme vertigo night sweats nothing looks real.

[@aptginc]

Had Covid , no vaxx now have more heath issues. I only saw my doctor last year to get check - up and said I had been sick. Was positive and later bloodwork showed antibodies. May have had a second infection few weeks ago. Staying away from the doctor for now.

[@winleel]

That first question is key. A lot of outpatients (my mom included) are presenting, for the first time, with neurological/psych deficits (mental confusion, strange behavior, memory loss) months after Covid infection. During Covid no testing of Neuro was done on her. Now getting mri, Neuro/psych diagnostic tests. There has to be things you can do to handle this.

[@SacredMusicTribe]

I have it has she gotten better

[@leahbuluku8935]

What treatment is she getting to handle this, can see my mum with similar neurological issues

[@Jojoma449]

I developed peripheral nerve pain in legs and hands. Didn’t have hypoxia. I wish this doctor could address that .

[@jasonhamlin6987]

Thank you Dr. Berger and team for sharing.

[@4UStevePerry]

I am 62 very healthy. After getting covid I got a burning rash steroids to get rid of it. Now I'm getting nerve pain in legs. I do have a lot of arthritis but was eatting healthier for inflammation. That was helping but now the nerve pain is horrible I use to be on my feet a lot and have al it less hours. I can't work more then two days a week in a row now. The nights are the worst. This only started after getting covid.

[@EquinsuOchaSportfishing]

I developed horners syndrome with pain three weeks after I first came down with Covid 12-21-21

[@cynthiagayheart5673]

Since getting covid I have what i call crickets in my head sometimes as loud as a siren. Not fun

[@franciscoandrade4989]

Is there complications in the reproductive system? I got COVID last year in August and I haven’t recovered from testosterone. My libido is low, my mood is off, easily irritated, and smaller soft testicles. I remember in the third week of COVID I was having testicular pain and painful ejaculation. I also have body hair loss

[@hanahjoe716]

Yes it does it totally does woman have also said they found it hard to conceive they can't get pregnant 🤔 it's mess the whole body it's so deadly and dangerous

[@michaeljamesmacaulay1689]

Another good reason to avoid infection by wearing medical masks, social distancing, frequent washing of hands and face, and LOTS of GOOD LUCK √

[@elainewright3555]

unfortunately you cant avoid covid if you are a care worker,ppe or not

[@Jojoma449]

The problem no one wants to wear them any more. They should be warning people more of post covid issues that will arise later. People are clueless
