Study indicates COVID-19 causes brain damage, even in mild cases

Brain scans of people who recovered from COVID-19 had more brain atrophy in parts of the brain that control taste, smell, and memory.

I had mild Covid lasted about 3 weeks and during that time I lost all taste and smelling abilities. I’m in a job that requires cognitive ability. Before Covid I looked at the job as a challenge now after my Covid this job has become a struggle. I can’t seem to concentrate sometimes anymore and I deal with a lot of data on this job and now I have a different view of this data in that it just overwhelming to me now.

So sad that we lost over a million people in this country to this devilish virus and hundreds of thousands of others who survived may never be the same again. This little virus has disrupted so many lives in so many negative ways. I hope the human race learns how to better survive these pandemics in the future because we didn't do a good job this time.

I too had really bad brain fog after having COVID! It was still bad after a year and I was so afraid it would last forever. I would say it slowly started going away after 2 years and now it's 3 years later and 80% of the brain fog is gone ! I hope the best for everyone experiencing it! It's been really scary!

Wow these negative comments are pretty discouraging. I had severe case and while i was in negative pressure isolation room i felt myself slipping mentally. One helpful thing was the find a word puzzles they gave me. I still dealing with brain fog an anxiety over it for 7 months now. I am working again and fighting for my mind, seriously.

I have had a lot of memory loss and brain fog since I had COVID as well😢

My 36 year old son is going on his 4th month of Covid with severe head pressure, anxiety, depression, neurological and psychological problems. He’s basically debilitated, and lies in bed almost all day, because he had just found out that on top of mold toxicity (that he tested positive for 12 months prior), the doctor discovered that he had three types of Lyme coinfections: Bartonella and Babesia that had lain dormant in his body, possibly since he was age 7 and had meningoencephalitis.) He head pressure is so bad that he screams in pain. He can’t find word, and neither can I, after having it.
He can hardly function and I’m sure he has autoimmune encephalitis, but there are no intake places to take him and every part of his body is in pain along with outbursts of rage, delusions, and paranoia. I can’t take care of him much longer (I’ have chronic pain myself and sleep disorders. Plus I’m only 4’ 10”.), and he needs more testing and help Nathan I can give him. He’s on ivermectin every other day, Nystatin, Biactin and Plaquinil. Nothing is doing a thing so far for his pain. He had labs done yesterday, but his appointment isn’t until next week. Im afraid we will lose his him by his own hand or he will get so bad, it will be irreversible. Where do these people find a hospital that treats this?
If anyone knows PLEASE, let me know! Thanks!

My girlfriend recently got tested positive for Covid. She's been having some issues with memory...2 evenings ago we had a in depth conversation on a topic that properly lasted about 30 - 40 min...the next day we where talking and I brought up the topic we had and she couldn't remember anything...like nothing...a day or two before that she completely confused 2 different stories or memories and mixed me up with a guy she used to chill with wayback...she was diagnosed today with Covid, is this an extreme case of brain fog or does it get that bad ?

[fisherisjack]

Feels good to know that I am not alone others have also incurred brain damage

[BrianAndersonTT]

Seems like the 2nd scan was in Feb 2021 long before high vaccination rates.
Oddly though most of these cases were mild even the 60 year olds.

[amandag]

I have a rare immune deficiency... so I cannot even get the vaccine. I did have Covid over a month ago... since then... I have no emotion what so ever. Is anyone else feeling this way? Thank you ):

[Tarasyoutube]

My head hurts and feels tight and I don't feel like there's anyone to give me medicine to treat what right now is probably preventable damage.

[nellieou]

Got covid, not vaccinated, took ivermectin and vitamins, felt like a cold, lost smell for a week, no brain fog or lasting issues.

I’ve had daily brain pressure since June 18, 2022. I had Covid the end of May/ first week of June of 2022. It was very mild and didn’t have any symptoms like I did just last month. My eyes got very dry, the white around my eye is now brown and yellow, I can no longer wear my contacts because they irritate my eyes and I’ve gotten two pairs of glasses since and can’t see out of them. My vision is distorted, looks like everything is slanted and tilted and I’m constantly dizzy my eyes hurt and feels like someone is gouging my eyes out. This pressure weighs all over my head but especially in the very middle of my head and pulsates. I’ve gone to two neurologists here in Charlotte and they write it off as headaches, but these aren’t headaches I’m experiencing and they’ve diagnosed it as IIH. I went to a top neurologist two weeks ago at Duke Health and she diagnosed it as cervicalgia. I had an MRI done yesterday and it showed increased brain pressure

Thanks for the video. Now I know more about COVID-19 and thus how to better protect myself from it and heal if I do become afflicted by it.

Months? Try 3 years and counting. Sometimes my brain is like that of a 17 year old and sometimes it's my age. Really really frustrating. And hard to explain to others. I gave up trying.

[gerardskordie]

Its not fake news, I have an uncanny brain fog and i'm very tired.

[allmafiaflash]

Were these people vaccinated? Is it from covid or the vaccine?

[nancyslaststand]

Yes, how many are given MRI immediately upon brain trauma signs even sudden addiction that is a response to the confusing symptoms amd fear, coupled with lazy attitude from Heathcate, family and friends at a distance. My son delineated message in June by jumping to death leaving Braun frontal damage to show others what no one gave him a proper workup and MRI amd family kept me the mother with alarms ringing away because ego trumps life in this world now. I love you son and always believed you. Sadly Peer anf patriarchal pressure of family was his worst nightmare to the end. It's been found and now being researched at city ME pathology dept, The autopsy validated every single thing he was suffering from to male him drink round the clock .Thank you NYC Morgue, his last chance and his mother caught the comment with bullet point attention. scapegoat no more Hero forever as he lived as one.

I know I'm a long baller. I'm just starting to get back normal tasted and smell after 2 years, I've had dizzy spells, memory loss, inability to find words, and feeling confused and spacy. I'm 55.

I think we're figuring out why the Chinese released this into the world.
