Underappreciated. Thanks for sharing.

For those affected by cognitive problems due to LongCovid: Note that probiotics have proven to be helpful. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/piis1473-3099(23)00685-0/fulltext

Promising research suggests probiotics ameliorate COVID-damaged jejunum, enhancing brain function through vagus nerve signaling. This gut-brain axis support could improve cognitive clarity, mood regulation, and neurological recovery in LC patients.

SC2 persists in the jejunum, so do the math..

Rationale below, it eventually ameliorates brain fog too.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(23)00685-0/fulltext This study also finds improvements for #LongCovid patients through probiotics, especially regarding brainfog and cognitive issues.

Should also have a big study on long covid brain issues & menopause. All of us who entered menopause during this time & had covid should be studied bc the brain fog improves with hormone therapy but I have a deep feeling that there is more than that. I also think inflammation “travels” in the body.

Wait, is this why a majority of Americans decided to vote for Trump on the last go around?

sporkinum.bsky.social•11 days ago

Trump for sure, and most of his cabinet all are affected by this.
Though to be fair, most people who have had COVID are affected to some level.

I've struggled with many things for 5 years post covid - energy levels, clarity of thought, aches, tinnitus...

I recently had an illness that made my asthma flare badly, so was put on steroid tablets.

EVERYTHING improved.

Sadly it all returned just after the steroids ended.

Strong steroids have nasty side effects, including lowering your immune response, but surely there must be a middle ground where we could benefit from reducing the crazy multi-systematic inflammation with a lower dose?

Despite the tedious work - showing post Covid effecting every organ by Ziyad Al-Aly
and brilliant work by Michael Peluso- showing viral persistence, activated T cells and exhausted NK cells in Long Covid.
Closed despite the evidence - with data and modern tools in biology- makes evidence precise.

Dr. Topol, you are probably familiar with this clinic just up the coast from you. I thought it might be worth mentioning that it has had success in helping people with long covid. It is also on the forefront for treating neurological disorders. https://www.reactivept.com/results
