I had testing done that showed my executive functioning has been affected due to long COVID. I previously was a high functioning big box store manager who thrived on stressful work loads and could multitask with ease. I can no longer listen to a conversation if there is noise in the background such as a television. I can no longer perform math in my head. I hear information incorrectly and have memory issues.
I was also high functioning before covid. I had been working my way up through the job roles in insurance and had no problem in the stressful role I was in. I could switch gears quickly and handle difficult files and difficult clients with ease and had the strong executive function skills necessary for my role. I haven't been able to work for almost 3 years now due to Long Covid, have zero executive function, math is beyond me now and my brain goes blank as soon as anyone changes from the path my thoughts were on. It sometimes takes me days to understand a new conversation with a doctor and my negotiation, word finding and problem solving that came easily to me before covid are pretty much non-existent. Due to new central sleep apnea and unexplained breathing stoppages during the day recently, my doctor is sending me for an MRI. I will not be suprised if it shows issues in my brain stem or mid brain and from the sounds of this from Dr. McMillan, likely there will be some thickening in those other areas too. At least once they know where the issue is, they can start looking at why and treating it. Fingers crossed.
Brainstem Reduction and Deformation in the 4th Ventricle Cerebellar Peduncles in Long COVID Patients: Insights into Neuroinflammatory Sequelae and “Broken Bridge Syndrome”
Vlad Vexler has an important role in our crazy work to analyse what’s happening in Russia. He is a philosopher. He has had ME for years, but now he describes his symptoms exactly how you describe a spike protein attack. He is very ill. I tried to contact him and told him to contact you but he replied that I showed too many red flags 🤷♂️. Since then he said he has been transferred to a private hospital payed for by a follower and see 16 doctors and none known what his problem is. I think that you will know and it’s obvious.
Can you contact him please? Just look at his followers and they show they love him. Thanks.
These tests are currently in demand at the Professor Stark Institute throughout Germany. "I am regularly requested by courts across the country as an expert witness when it comes to proving beyond doubt whether a person is ill or not." This is necessary, for example, in legal disputes concerning pension payments, determining the degree of severe disability, or occupational disability, Stark explains.
Long Covid "make visible": Researchers develop new method
Dr. McMillan linked the cognitive loss to microvascular damage, as indicated by the MRI findings: I agree, but I suspect that at at least a portion of the cognitive loss was due to intracellular hypothyroidism – see my post, at https://gervaisharry.substack.com/p/long-covid-and-brain-fog
