Still, so very frustrating it is taking so long - over 2 decades for me. FWIW, Health Rising, a blog that analysis's CFS & FMS, Lyme disease studies for decades is now tracking all studies & research about the connection.
Cognitive underperformance is an understatement. I have long haul Covid symptoms and my new low ability to cope with stress, my drastically limited planning ability and other cognitive delays are dramatically impacting my life. I don't know if I can even continue to teach. It is demoralizing, frustrating and quite overwhelming. Although I may not have been batting 100 to begin with, my long haul symptoms came on with Covid, not before. I never had ringing in my ears before, severe headaches, brain fog, or this level of confusion or brain fog.
I would highly recommend looking into "toxic overload", you may be able to help your immune system recover faster, by simply avoiding a few blatantly obvious expositions. Most importantly household chemicals.
I have experienced similar symptoms after I had a bad case of flu 2 years ago. Brain fog, irritability on the smallest things, inability to concentrate. Since I was at a low point in my life too I kinds blame it on that. But now I m pretty sure it was out of result of that severe flu. I went to see a naturopathic doctor who wrote a detailed guide of the diet I should follow and supplement I should take for a specific period. It was very very hard, in fact I only manage to do it 3 months later, because there was a lot of the restrictions in the guidelines. But once I set myself to follow them for the FULL duration that was recommended, 70% of my symptoms disapeared
Don Yates Interesting to hear the ages of those reporting cognitive effects. A 15-yo. boy was reported with dramatic cognitive abreactions. Apparently adolescent cases form a definite sub-group.
Great interview, and with an extremely knowledgable and sober researcher who can just lay it out so clearly and methodically. I truly wish more news organizations would make material like this available. Well done!
It has also been very frightening for those people who have contracted CFS & Fibromyalgia & have very similar symptoms (if not identical) ...some for many decades. It doesn't help that 98% of all doctors STILL dismiss our symptoms.
@@IMSiegfried I’m hoping that taking this seriously and learning about it will have a spillover effect into the handling of those other conditions. Hoping really hard.
It's a pain for sure. Post viral fatigue is real. Even during the virus the brain fog can make you very irritable and after found myself struggling to remember worse to communicate quickly. Not fun being slow. But I think many can recover cognitive function if they didn't have severe oxygen deprivation. Just gotta treat it like a concussion from inflammation or oxygen deprivation. Rest. Rest. Rest. Omega-3s and light mental training exercises.
When you have a disease that attacks your cognitive abilities, you are going to suffer frustration for the rest of your life. This is a bad side effect if this disease. If people are cognitive challenged, society is going to suffer.
@@unitedspacepirates9075 EXACTLY. There is a reason that public schools have been made totally dysfunctional by politicians in the US over the last several decades...and interestingly enough these same VACCINATED politicians are pushing anti-vaccine and anti-mask rhetoric.
What he is describing is very typical of post-viral syndromes in general. Maybe this research will help people who have been suffering from the after effects of other viruses, such as Epstein-Barr, for 40 or 50 years or more.
@@cdubya3071 agreed, the diagnosis of fibromyalgia is only applied when no cause can be attributed to the multitude of debilitating symptoms. I wouldn't be surprised to find a link to neurological damage from some ,as of yet, undiscovered mechanism. not only giving new meaning to the dismissal "it's all in your head" an accusation often levelled at sufferers in the past, such mechanism may go a long way to creating treatment options for diagnosis currently untreatable (or as well as) such as chronic trauma encephalitis another painful, debilitating multi symptom disease.
@@carolynworthington8996 me too ! CTE has me hanging by a thread last 3 years! just know there are people who understand what you have to endure, and I champion your strength in my thoughts!
As someone with what my doctors warmly refer to as "SEVERE ADHD," these cognitive changes sound similar to what I simply live with every day. I don't recommend it. It's not a good time. **Shudders at the idea of more of the population having to deal with what I deal with every day.**
Try a three day water fast. It won't be easy but the autophagy should help you clear away dead cells and prime a natural immune response. It MIGHT clear out what you have. Download a fasting hour tracker, and do no food for 60 to 72 hours. It won't be easy if you haven't done it before, and you WILL be hungry the first eating window, but it's just a hormone and not true hunger. If you aren't diabetic, you will be fine.
Not only is Dr. Hampshire a brilliant doctor, he also has great taste in musical instruments! Gibson Flying V electric guitar and a Tune Bass Maniac electric bass.
Don't know him, but I think it's also a good antidote for the anti expert hype that's going on . Just a younger modest looking person knowing what he is talking about , instead of the standard 'grey pompous eminence who uses the interview to promote his new book .
I was curious about that. I dont doubt he was not unaware they would be in the picture. He may well have been shredding in a death-metal band that used to tour pubs on weekends- one never knows....
He's right, I've been having lots of problems remembering, brain fog,pain in the muscle and wanting to sleep all the time, you are not the same after covid.
I used to be super sensitive to caffeine where even a cup of tea would keep me awake well into the night if I drank it in the early afternoon. Now, I can have an energy drink and fight to stay awake. I also go through cycles of fatigue and severe insomnia. I also have a bunch of other residual issues left over from covid and it's been almost a year. Best of luck to you on your recovery.

It's horrible... I've been an athlete and educator my whole life.. I sleep and sleep now and struggle to remember basic things , muscle fatigue and cramping is daily and depression from it left me feeling.like half a person
I have had Fibromyalgia for 15 years now, contracted after a severe infection behind my eye, which they believe was the trigger point for it and Long Covid sounds very much like the same as I have experienced. It may be that Covid is the trigger virus causing many more cases of Fibromyalgia, Hashimoto and others within the same family of illnesses. I wish you well and hope you begin to feel better soon.
Wow! A journalist who did his homework and poses intelligent questions to drive a structured explanation of the topic so that a layman can understand it. Take note, this is what a real professional should look like.
@@mayam6678 I don’t need a journalist to do that- I have plenty of common sense to know that it’s a good idea to “not die.” And anyway, the vaccine will not protect from this, as you can still get a mild version with it.
Makes it particularly worrying to imagine younger children, who cannot be vaccinated and will be going back to school (often with unvaccinated fellow students, teachers, and staff), could end up with lifelong serious medical issues due to the pandemic. It's sad that so many people in positions of power and so many ill-informed parents care more about imagined rights than about our children's health. :(
They simply cannot sacrifice for the greater good, sadly. Wonderful lesson to teach the next generation. Oh, wait....because we have fouled the planet they probably won't be here anyway.
It's almost as if there is a certain segment of the population who believe themselves to be truly independent. It's akin to the prepper phenomenon a little. There's a belief that needing other people is indicative of some sort of weakness or deficiency and character, and then there is the notion that the other people that interact with us to keep us going everyday are sort of invisible. It's really a tragedy. I think of the stalwart people who imagine themselves to be independent and self- sufficient. But then they go on a respirator from covid, and the fact that we really do need other people is laid bare. It's almost a uniquely American thing, this idea that I captain my own ship and never need anyone else. In truth, all of our lives we need other people, and all of our lives other people are in need of us. To bastardize George Odell.
SWSIREN, sounds like myself, after having a stroke 7 years ago, have not had Covid-19. Would hate to think what condition my brain would be in, if I had. Sorry for the problems you are having!
I have exactly those symptoms for 8 months. I thought of them as being the side effects of a medical drug I took before it started though. Wasn‘t testetd for covid around that time :/
Additionally, I wonder what role the chronic fear and anxiety, i.e. the never ending fight or flight response, that one experiences when living through such daily adversity, may have on cognitive functioning.
Yes! I 'd like to know that myself. I have been living with some level of fear for the past 500+ days. I have good reason. I have Generalized Myasthenia Gravis, and have been intubated in the past because of it (with some post ICU intubation PTSD as a result). I can tell you from first hand knowledge that this is something you do not want to experience if you can avoid it. I also have to take an immune suppressant medication daily in order to stay alive. I've had two doses of vaccine and will likely be receiving a third when it's available to me. I am so very tired of living in fear.

A disturbing and important report Ari. Thank you for alerting us all of this study. Certainly further longitudinal follow up studies are indicated particularly if further the convergence of these aspects of cognition are shown to be significant.
That's pretty terrifying! I had a pretty bad case of COVID last November and I consistently had a high fever that was above 102-103 for over a week and I did wonder what effect that would have on my brain once I got over the sickness. So interesting. Thank you for sharing, I'd love to read more of these findings!

I wonder how much the long term international crisis of a pandemic and the ham-fisted response of various governments has affected our collective mental health and cognition?
The "crisis" is not a big deal for most people as WWII showed in Europe. Yes, people were effected by the war, but it didn't create cognitive damage like Covid-19...
When I learned that the first indication that a person might be infected by noticing a lack of taste and/or smell, I understood that this virus attacks beyond the respiratory system. Indications seem to point to areas of the brain. Dr. Hampshire is at the right place and this time. One should follow his work.

@@saritshull3909 I'm so sorry you're suffering. Have you looked at anti-inflammation diets?

Everybody is different and there might be different things contributing to your inflammation.🌸 all the best to you👋
@@dsc7772 It's hilarious you don't at all mention any far right media in your mini rant. You know.....like Sky News, Fox News, online media who make a living out of lying about even the most benign subjects let alone Covid, climate change and "socialism". Hypocrite as usual.
It's good to see an interviewer who has insight into the subject and consequently asks relevant and efficient questions. I wish this was more often the case!
As a retired Psychologist I not only have noticed this in friends and family but, in myself. I wonder how much is depression and anxiety from the fear and psychological aspects from financial pressures ,changes in lifestyles and routines, and the physical changes from the immune system reaction and new less tested medicines, treatments and vaccines. Many have changed diet, exercise, sleep and social interaction, religious experience s, sexual and relationship activity all which affect body, mind and spirit. I'd like to see the questionnaires that were used to see how this information was extracted and interpreted and see if any bias. Excellent interviewer very prepared, neutral and calm. This is no media attention hog. We need media that is spreading neutral news and not doom and gloom. Many are depressed and having severe anxiety over their futures. Work, marriage, family, illness finances, sex, careers and education are very profound aspects of life all being packed full throttle by Covid and the fear mongers. I want more info like this.
II wonder if meditation could impact to some extent? And there are various forms of meditation not just breathing and/or focus on a mantra. Sound therapy, via relaxing music, Tibetan gongs/ singing bowls, not to mention physical practices yoga, tai chi, Qi gong, Pilates , and all forms of physical exercise.
I wouldn't say 'any'. I have two auto immune diseases that don't include the brain fog or cognitive reasoning effects, but impact on levels of anxiety and fatigue, absolutely.
Individuals with autoimmune diseases can have symptoms involving any body part/function/organ. Lupus, MS, Parkinson's, RA, etc., effects each individual differently. After-effects of Covid will be just as varied.
I found this interview to be incredibly frustrating, as one really obvious question was never asked: what percentage? What percentage of covid patients are displaying cognitive decline? Is it 1%? 100? We have no idea because it was neither asked nor mentioned. I was glad to hear Dr. Hampshire mention that less severe disease means less severe decline, but I would have liked some discussion on the effects of vaccines on this element of covid. The viewer is left to make the connection between vaccination, less severe disease and therefore less severe cognitive decline (if any?) themselves. Good that this is being brought to our attention but some key points were missed in this interview.
I had all the same thoughts listening to this interview. Also wondering how the added stress of quarantine plays into this cognitive deficit. Seems like there are a lot of variables.
Old Statueface, the data changes regularly, and you might check out the Zoe Symptom tracker, which estimates 2% long Covid in the UK (as of Jan 8, 2022). See John Campbell's summary here czcams.com/video/P17_Op2kOk4/video.html
ye was a bad interview. That host wasnt asking questions....he was trying to put words into the doctor's mouth. As pretty close to a lawyer leading a witness I thought.
Complete personal anecdote-- I had COVID in May, without question I feel cognitively dull. Memory and emotional behavior is unusually imprecise in the moths after recovering and my moods teeter between lots of anxiety and depression, I'm not necessarily prone to those behaviors. However, even in my own circumstance, I feel as if also, lockdown and resulting isolation and reduction of so much normal social interaction has definitely worn on me. It's seemingly more acute since. Additionally in my current county, i was finally able to get the vaccine last week-- experienced moderate normal side effects including some covid like symptoms, and as i shook it definitely also feels like emotionally and anxiety wise a fresh wave of the fogginess. Subjective, i know-- but something feels off.
Do keep a record of things and check with doctors. I do hope things get better for you. I do know a teenager who has issues a year later, no underlying or other concerns pre-Covid. Her short-term memory and brain fog frustrate her on a daily basis. She is also now prone to inflammation injuries. The doctors just say to give it more time. Most people I know got through it okay but it is not worth the risk. Another I know now has heart issues.
My mother's friend was in the hospital with Covid-19 for 100 days. He was one of the sharpest 70 something people I know. He has a neurologist now. I would agree with the other comment, document your symptoms and stay in touch with your physician. Sending you healing prayers. ❤
Similar type things happen with people with lyme disease. Diet changes help. Lots of fresh vegetables and fruit. Less dairy, bread with gluten, too much red meat, processed foods, and any item that might cause slight stomach discomfort, headache, or rash. Good food can help heal body and emotions. I see you growing stronger everyday.
My experience has been nearly identical. I had hoped the vaccine would improve my long Covid symptoms. It did seem to for a couple of months, but I now seem to be right back at square one. Not just brain fog, but a depressive like inability to follow through on mental activities like paperwork, filing my taxes, etc. Terribly frustrating
This happened to me after contracting CFS and Fibromyalgia. I can tell you that at least for me (& I'm never the only one) the brain fog and some of the other symptoms do get better with time. Not perfect by any means but much better than it was in the beginning.
@@andreamortimer2610 no, it is actually the EVIL in this world that brings about the sickness in people and animals. If EVIL were gone, we would not be sick!!!
I have had Long COVID since July 2020. Many of my symptoms reduced significantly after being vaccinated. But I get 3 or 4 brain farts a day versus 3 or 4 a year. My vision is impaired at night, light sources bloom outward as though I am driving through fireworks at night. The ability to focus on tasks took a major hit. I can no longer talk to my wife when we are in the car because of the road noises. I can hear her words but I can't comprehend them because my brain wants to listen to every sound I hear. I have to make a chore list because trying to remember the 3rd task, sometimes the 2nd, has become challenging. I would have been better off dying from COVID because now I am a disabled burden. My family is facing homelessness. They would have received $550k from life insurance had I died instead I have a medical bill I'll never be able to pay off. Surviving COVID sucks for the millions like me. By next year a billion people may be suffering from Long COVID. Mask up save another person's life.
I am sorry to hear about your long-COVID. As someone who has been debilitated by one of the conditions related to long-COVID for over decade I sympathize. However, it must be horrible to lose your health so suddenly, mine was progressive. I hope you can find a solution to your situation and let's hope your body can repair itself. Try to keep hope alive and your spirits up. Depression, whilst understandable is only going to make the symptoms worse. All the best.
This happens with neuroborreliosis too. If only the doctors and scientists had listened to and believed us decades ago, they would have been better prepared for this.
Yes, and this disease Neuroborreliosis broke out near a biolab on Plum Island, only 10 miles from Lyme, Conn. in the 1970s and became increasingly wide spread over the years. These patients weren't believed, weren't helped, told they were crazy, told there is no such thing as chronic Lyme. And, they still aren't getting the help they need. Then, the CDC leaders for Lyme wanted to make bucks off a VX. So, then they changed their tune. "Oh, yes there is such thing as chronic Lyme now," they said, "Oh, we need a VX," they said. But, a VX doesn't help those already sick with this disease. Same thing with Gulf War Syndrome. They must be making it up, they were told, it's in their head. It couldn't be anything they were exposed to. Maybe the Lyme patients who have suffered for years can now get the help they need. They are often left in severe pain as well, and now they can't get help for that either because of the illegal Fentanyl opiate drug crisis, and who was really making the money from this. Instead of following the money trail which never lies, instead it was more convenient to blame doctors. All this did is freak out the doctors and many retired and/or shut down their pain clinics. So, Lyme patients are left disabled, with cognitive changes, brain fog, and many in severe pain. The number one cause of death for Lyme patient is suicide because they are locked in totally disabled bodies and cannot get the help their need. Maybe since their is no doubt the current virus came from a biolab, Lyme patients will finally be believed and can finally get the help need as well. I pray they can. They have suffered too long.
@@anneteller3128 Gulf War illness has now been shown to be connected to a stealth form of the virus CMV (cytomegalovirus). It's too bad they didn't recognize that thirty years ago... or believed the folks who had it (not only the vets, but also the communities where it spread when they came home); or the folks with CFS/ME connected to Epstein Barr virus, or with never-diagnosed causes.
@@karenlynningalls5851 A lot of people have these two viruses and most don't know it even though they may have symptoms. (Or, at least the regular version of CMV). Often health care providers will talk about them like, oh, a significant portion of the population has them, like that makes it OK. They cannot tell us the cause for many common diseases because that's not where the research money flows. Now, the sanctity of your very body has become a political issue. If half the money was spent on research using our greatest minds to find cures instead of symptomatic treatment, I have no doubt there would be cures for most illnesses, except for maybe the chromosomal anomalies.
**We need more research on the effects of inflammation on the brain.** This includes autoimmune “brain fog,” “chemo brain,” and these post-COVID symptoms. The symptoms are all the same - but not understood or treated sufficiently. These symptoms can be the make-it-or-break-it for disability. If we can understand this so that it can be prevented, identified early, regularly monitored, and treated, we may reduce the incidence of disability in autoimmune diseases and post-inflammatory diseases and improve quality of life for those suffering from these symptoms.

Are you saying that you believe people that recover from Covid-19 are out of control and impulsive? If so, that is a very harmful statement to be making about a group of innocent people. You seem to be the irrational one making statements without proof.
Need to study this in people who have breakthrough infections as well. Hari’s question is valid. For example, is a person with a family history of Alzheimer’s more vulnerable to this phenomenon?
He mentioned that being vaccinated would reduce the chances of becoming ill and if you do become ill, the severity would be greatly reduced. Granted that's pretty much at the end of the video so you may not have seen it before posting.
@@johnwang9914 There's no guarantee that vaccine with Delta will keep you from being hospitalized. There's plenty of once healthy and fit vaxxed 30 & 40 yo needing hospitalization. Bottom line don't put yourself in harm's way. Don't let down your guard when fully vaccinated. Double mask. No gatherings with food and drink. Get boosters as antibody protection WANES in both infected and those fully vaxxed, sometimes in 3 months a big drop. Memory cells not always a good backup when spike protein ABs WANE and with Delta you want lots of spike ABs in the early days of infection and they usually take a few days to kick in.
@@notsogreen Nothing is perfect but the efficacy of the vaccine against being hospitalized with the Delta variant is still a respectably high effectiveness for vaccines in general, we actually expected far lower effectiveness in the first generation of vaccines against the first versions to spread globally. Remember that every few years, the flu vaccine would be as poor as 50% efficacy and before we had a COVID vaccine, we were planning on the first vaccines being 50% effective. It's fortunate that the vaccines we now have proved far more effective than expected and this is also true of against hospitalization with the Delta variant. Besides some protection is better than none so just because it isn't an absolute guarantee against being hospitalized is no reason to not take it. Besides, vaccination doesn't prevent you from taking other measures from being infected such as avoiding congregation, social distancing, hand washing and wearing masks. The vaccine still very much saves lives. Can't you see you're just desperately seeking irrational arguments to defend a false cognitive bias... Sure, there will be long term studies but remember the pandemic was recognized in February and March of 2020 and is still happening now and the the vaccine has only been around since December of 2020. The vaccine is needed now, the studies so far have been extremely in favour of the vaccine even though some adverse effects are noted. It is irrational to be expecting 5 to 10 years of studies before accepting the vaccine given the pandemic is here now. Even the strict precautions of countries like Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan will eventually break down. Drinking sift drinks and not exercising also contributes to Alzheimer's. If a qualified reputable Doctor doesn't say you can't take the vaccine for medical reasons then you should take the vaccines. Now some Doctors have been telling patients who are immuno compromised not to take the AstraZeneca vaccine as it is live Adeno viruses and some have been telling some patients not to take certain vaccines due to allergies to certain components but remember that unlike the Sputnik V vaccine, the Adeno virus in AstraZeneca is intentionally a chimpanzee virus that is less able to infect humans as well as being specifically modified to not replicate in humans and the ingredients to all the vaccines are commercial adjuvants for all vaccines tested to be less likely for people to be allergic to them and we have been using them for decades. If a Doctor hasn't specifically instructed you not to take the vaccine and is willing to write a letter saying so that will be respected by other Doctors, not taking the vaccine is still an irrational decision regardless of how desperate you are in rationalizing your fears.
@@johnwang9914 I know all that and agree. Actually got a male friend rushing out the door tonight, for his first dose of Moderna vaccine when I brought up how Delta can mess up men's testes causing sexual dysfunction and weakened/ depleted sperm. Even mentioned how a man can recover and still have virus lingering in testes,, similar to what happened to some Ebola infected men who thought they cleared the virus, but months later passed the Ebola virus on to a sexual partner. Shet happens. Anyway been telling men this way before Delta arrived. Works like a charm. Most men will not bring this issue up unfortunately, and suffer in silence. But I believe it's my civic duty to keep men informed worldwide..
@@notsogreen You do realize I called out your crap of the vaccine causing sterilization as total crap for the poorly educated. Vaccines teach the immune system to attack an antigen which in this case is the spike proteins and the vaccines are flushed from your body in days so only the immune response remains and develops. Does your tested have spikes proteins on them? Your post is that of an utter lunatic. The sterilization mentioned with vaccines refers to the virus's ability to transmit through the host, it's about the sterilization of the virus not of the person.
I have been experiencing this & everyone said it was " just stress." The struggle for words , feeling like I can't get it together to focus...I have had it since April. I have been fully vaxxed since March. I am slowly getting some of the cognitive abilities back but if I'm tired-- forget it ( pun intended.) This helped validate my experience 🙏
I want to encourage you that people can improve from neurological damage. You probably know already that sleep, plenty of water, and healthy food can help. To have the raw materials for rebuilding nerves: B vitamins, vit d3, fish oil and phosphotidyl serine (found in chicken hearts, liver and legs, the lining of egg shells , and other animal organs that are more difficult to find or in a supplement). Daily meditation or other relaxation discipline and journaling can help you see your recovery. I witnessed the long term recovery of someone who had a total collapse after adult onset mononucleosis (63 y/o) I have also witnessed a person recover from a car wreck where the car hit their head and left a dent. I know several people who had problems post surgery. They have all had improvement and in some cases recovery. It may never be like it was before the event but life can be good again. Choose who you tell with care. Not everyone will respect this challenge or care how it affects you and may not be sympathetic.🙏all the best for your full recovery🙏
I already have what I feel are "age induced" cognitive deficits. I don't need to lower my IQ or increase my cognitive deficits more than I currently experience. Scary.
I wonder how much of this might be due to increased isolation and fear that people with active Covid probably experienced. My husband and I had been experiencing greater isolation ( as a consequence of his impaired immune system) for a couple of years prior to Covid .During that time we both found ourselves struggling more with executive functioning.
The link between air pollution and inflammation is becoming more and more evident. What we breathe is playing a much bigger role in inflammation than we currently think. The levels considered not harmful are guesses (bad ones) which are being shown to be completely out of touch with reality. ftp.iza.org/dp12632.pdf "The results show that poor indoor air quality hampers cognitive performance significantly. We find that an increase in the indoor concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by 10 μg/m3 increases a player’s probability of making an erroneous move by 26.3%. The impact increases in both magnitude and statistical significance with rising time pressure."
My 94 yr old gma has dementia. Our fam would visit her in the nursing home weekly... when they isolated her for 8 months becuz of covid (aka prison) She forgot who her children and grandchildren were. The nursing home ended up getting covid anyway throughout the building and nurses were quitting left and right... 50+ ppl died in that home due to many reasons such as covid and negligence and not enuf staff so we took out gma out right as soon as we heard they got covid. Her family comes to our house now to visit and she is doing much better cognitive wise. Unfortunately, every single day at least 20+ times she says "am i gonna b here all day?" "Am i gonna be here all day tomorrow?"... it breaks my heart every time cuz i thought it was due to her dementia which is of course a huge primary factor. But ive realized the majority y she says it is cuz she was stuck staring at a wall, no family visits, no activities, she dont even know how to turn on tv anymore or call anyone and the nurses never had time to help her. Point is, ure right. Cognitive functions decline greatly with isolation. Its hard everyday taking care of her but we r trying our best. We cant send her bak to the prisons though. Sigh
@@robinhood4640 great. The air quality in my room sucks. I have an air purifier and try to open the windows but i often get frustrated at the amount of dust i often find on stuff grrr drives me crazy
@@Shhways We don't all have the same resistance/tolerance to the quality of the air we breathe. Not all particles in the air are that harmful either. Particles that you can see, will not get past the filters in your lungs (generally). The ones that enter the blood and circulate around the whole body, are the ones you can't see. Some particles are more chemically stable than others, and some mixes of particles/gases create more chemical instability than others. The complexity of everything that is going on in the air we breathe, makes it very difficult to correctly evaluate how exactly a specific component affects us.
Roxy, some of it is due to that. The less exercise you are getting to stimulate blood flow and endorphins to your brain, the fewer people you are in contact with, the less you use your brain to deal with day to day problems and situations (even as simple as driving), the less you do and the fewer novel experiences you face, all of this, of course, is going to ngatively affect the brain. The cliche if you don't use it, you lose it applies to the brain. It nneds to stay active.
When I got covid in March/April of 2020, I wasn't sure what I got. I do so poorly with respiratory illnesses, I assumed if I got covid it would destroy me. But instead, I got fevers and confusion, and to a friend I would joke about the symptoms list, "new confusion, as opposed to the old confusion"... but it wasn't a joke, it was a nightmare. I wouldn't get the cough until two months later, and wasn't even sure it was related. At some point I even wondered if I had a mini-stroke, because not long before the symptoms started, I was under a ton of pressure and actually had to go to court. But the truth of it is, I got covid while at court, sitting in that room of dozens of people thinking to myself, "that new virus they say isn't really here yet, it's totally in this room, and we all have it now." I've had a migraine every day since covid, and the brain fog has been there off and on. I struggle for words more often than is sane, my chronic memory loss took a notable dive for the worse, and it seems like I can't deal with even minor stresses properly anymore. It's not making mountains out of molehills... everything is a mountain now. At least I'm fully vaccinated as of some weeks ago, but good gods did the side-effect symptoms hit me bad. And that's how I figured out I had covid last year, because you couldn't get tested back then. I had the same symptoms with both vaccine shots, just sped up. So yeah... I'm not surprised data is starting to show this thing eats people's brains, but it definitely is disturbing.
Me too. Horrid Pfizer after effects, But after the three days of pain post inoculation I felt better. Much better. I’m looking forward to the booster at this point. I’d like my brain back.
I could have written your comment. I totally relate to what you are saying. When I have to name someone or something during a conversation I have to pause because I can't think of the word. I got really sick Mar 2020 and didn't get energy back til that July. I live in a remote area and when I asked to get tested I was asked one question..."Did you just come back from China?" My answer was no ... So rather rudely I was told I didn't meet the criteria to get tested. Hang in there.
Depression, stress and anxiety can cause memory problems and cognitive malfunctions. We all have certainly had LOTS of all of those. Perhaps it would be time well-spent to research the covid/ mental health link that might be causing the impatience, selfish, agressive and violent..even murderous behavior that has increased since Covid.
Yes, homelessness, losing homes/property, losing businesses-life's work and savings, losing loved ones, being afraid of the vaccine or treatments, losing job and income, ect, also some dealing with losing childcare and other services they needed to live their normal lives-huge stressful upheaval that has went on for 2 years now, ridiculous.
I do not blame that one president but since around 2016, I think cognitive functions and empathy worldwide have suffered. A lot. We are drowning in a torrent of lies and beliefs where verified facts are available.
I've been so afraid this would be a thing it has given me nightmares. Ever since I had covid in January, including after getting vaccinated I have been in a horrifyingly confusing mindset and there have been times on the road where I get lost in a sort of loop around my home. I spent the other day just crying in the parking lot bc my gps kept telling me where to go but would land me in odd places. Which sucks on its own but combined with my fog and slog brain sent me into a fit in a place I had never even needed GPS.
I've been very cognitively impaired too. Can't remember names, recent memories etc. I believe I had Covid in Feb 2020. Just a few days, no big deal. Mostly fatigue and sore throat. I haven't taken a vacks. Maybe it's 5G? I never thought that just a mild case of Covid could be the cause of my cognitive decline...!
I'M really sorry about you getting lost. That is so scary. I know that lecithin and coconut oil are good for the brain. Hang in there and I will too. keep a sense of humor and make a list of things that make you happy...🙋🏻♀️🦋🌺
Oh do look at and listen to the audio channels on CZcams for healing sounds and binaural beats! It could help; I don’t see how it could hurt & good luck!
This may sound different, but, as a Multiple Sclerosis sufferer, I took the symptoms of Covid-19 very seriously. Why? Brain fog ment something to me, and I heard, words like cognitive deficit and obstructive physical problems as well as speech functionally issies and it to me, back to my many MRI results and I wonder, how does COVID-19 affects the brain, What happens after the patients overcome this problem? Any ideas?
@@TH-eb5ro - It would explain the daily migraines I have with long-haul covid. I had chronic migraines before covid but since then, I've had a handful of non-consecutive days where I didn't have to do pain management. Mind you, I got covid in March of 2020. I'm amazed I can think at all anymore.
*Ani Marter* - Yip - & if they moved off CZcams they would see every country, every university & pharmaceutical company is studying the same thing. Regards.
You know, I’m still depressed after my first Pfizer shot last May 14, 2021, and I’m not planning to get my second jab. I don’t care I’m segregated from the dual vaccine. It’s breaking our family apart. 😞. ONE LOVE TO HUMANITY! I love everybody.
The effects by the SARS Cov-2 virus on cognitive abilities may not be new, but we may be seeing them for the first time due to the numbers of people infected all at the same time. Many symptoms of Long Covid are similar to those seen in other post virial syndromes.
I'm dealing with long Covid, even though I had a relatively mild case, no hospitalization. I had it in the very beginning of the pandemic (March 2020), and ever since then almost no sense of smell, and definite cognitive issues. Mostly forgetting words. Even simple ones. I used to be known for my great writing abilities- not professional, but a hobby and skill I've been known to enjoy/have as a strength since I was a young kid. Now I stumble through small things like, well...this comment is taking me forever to write, for one. My brain feels like it's on fire and now I frustrate most people I speak to. I had trouble trying to help my little kids with schoolwork this past year. I'm not sure what else to say. I guess I'm glad I'm not just crazy or imagining this is happening.
Great interview. Interesting that the cognitive issues sound quite like Traumatic Brain Injury. I understand that lack of oxygen can also produce these symptoms. I have to wonder if this can increase anxiety, PTSD? We are seeing this in some friends that had COVID earlier on, mostly non-hospitalized.
A number of the mental disconnects you may be attributing to COVID19, have also in the past been attributed to dislocation and lack of grounding. Imagine all the changes we are going through with the number of deaths and lack of supply chains. These are also factors which can cause mental dislocation characteristics.
@@janetownley so someone comes up with an expanded observation that actually MAKES SENSE, and you’re triggered because it doesn’t fit neatly with your own theory and you have to name-call based on your own limited media-induced presuppositions??? OK, sure. That just reveals everything about YOU while doing NOTHING to negate the validity of the points made by the person you’re trying to put down.
I was thinking I get all of this but for me I was getting it long before covid and it was due to isolation and the resulting stress. They would need to compare to a control group of those who were very isolated but without covid in order to begin to make any meaningful conclusions.
Had brain infection at the back base of my head, and felt it towards my left ear. So bad that it hurt my jaw to open wide enough to bite a sandwich. My thinking was glitchey. Every 10th word was coming out stupid. Got neck x-rays on left side. Said arthritis. Long story short. 3 months later, got a script of Fluvoxomein, and the Thyroid meds cleared up my thinking. I can speak a clear sentence again.
This is so annoying. When I caught Covid And I tried to tell my doctor I thought it had affected my brain i was told I was paranoid . I lost the ability to focus, remember and pull words from memory. I thought I had early onset Alzheimer’s. I reached out to a physchiatrist who diagnosed me with ADHD. For a while I thought COVD gave me ADHD until I did more research and found that yes Covid does affect the dopamine in your brain and People with ADHD already have a shortage. Contrary to my initial hypothesis though- after more research regarding specific ADHD symptoms, I made the realization that I have had it all my life, C-19 just exacerbated it. It’s very difficult being the pandemic guinea pig and I’m curious to what kind of help will be available for people like myself in the future. There is going to be a whole generation of sufferers at this rate.
well the entire onslaught of folks who ended up with autism and now adults, not much support if any. Let's see, the folks in Flint Michigan, lied to and swept under the rug, Agent Orange comes to mind, yeah, nah, there won't be any help available according to track record. Disability? Can you prove you have chronic migraines? I mean you can't see them?? well, can you PROVE your decline in cognitive function was caused by covid and is keeping you from holding down a job? Just get a job picking up dog poo, that'll pay the bills. --they don't care about anyone.
My boss got COVID (prior to vaccinations being available) in Nov, by early Dec she was diagnosed with long COVID, and the neurological impact has been huge. Her recent brain scans actually show what looks like TBI, and at the age of 51, she may be permanently disabled.
The brain is incredibly resilient and adaptable. Do not sell it short. Many have worked hard and had great success overcoming brain damage. Emotional trauma can cause the same symptoms. I had two foster chilren who were diagnosed as being mentally disabled and after having a good safe home, healthy meals, healthy activities and experiences were retested and removed from that category. One tested in educational reading tests at 2nd grade reading level in the fifth grade, but after being properly cared for tested at 6th-8th grade level a year later. The other at 4 years old was double the weight of a 4 year old and had little ability in receptive or expressive language. She had poor muscle tone. She mostly stared with her mouth opened. Six of months later she was running, playing, laughing and jabbering like any other 4 year old and with other children. Her eyes connected with others. She tested normal for her age when retested. I found that even teens given experiences missed in early childhood helped them gain new ground quickly. Adults with traumatic brain injury, if given good therapy and tough solid support have regained cognitive abilities and worked around challenges until the brain could recover. Just never give up. It takes time and persistence, I know. Do not give up.
Yes, except this isn't TBI. This is the same as those with CFS and Fibromyalgia to name just a couple illness. Lyme may also be similar but I'm not as familiar with it as I am CFS and FMS.
Please know that there is no way to know if this is permanent, except for those very sick L/T ICU survivors. We know that they are likely to either die in the following 12 months after discharge, or have sustained physical and cognitive problems that do not resolve. One reason why, as a healthcare provider, my proxy knows that I will never be ventilated. I know what it looks like on the other side, and I would not want that. There are worse things than dying.
One problem at at time please. The long term effects of virus will likely cause the whole world to rethink and adjust how we help each other. I hope it will anyway, I'm losing hope we can come together to save humanity.
How about the suicide as a symptom. My brother in law had covid in Feb. 2021 and on May 13th he took his own life. He was my brother in law for 19 years. He was one of my most favorite people. He wasn't just my brother in law he was a best friend to me. He was very devoted to family. He told me one time that he loves my sister so much that he missed her when she walked into another room. He said, "how is it possible to love her so much that I miss her when she is with me?" I understood exactly what he meant because I have that kind of love for my person. My family has suffered through 4 close friends die by there own hand through the years and we had a pact to never put our family/loved ones through the grief of taking our own lives. I will never forget that phone call for the rest of my life and hearing the devastation come from my sister. I swear it's so unreal that my mind still hasn't grasped the fact that it's true. I ask if suicide can be a symptom of covid because when I told to the funeral director about him having covid his response was, "you wouldn't believe how many families have told me their loved one who committed suicide had covid. Also, when we went to the sheriff's department to get his belongings my sister said that since he had covid he would say he just didn't feel like himself. The sheriff looked at her and said, he has been thinking there could be a link between covid and suicide because he has heard the very same thing from other families. He said suicides are up 200% in the area. I believe that questions need to be asked to see whether or not people who have had covid could be at a higher risk of suicide or if it affects the middle age male brain differently, because the sheriff and the funeral director said they have seen suicide increase by men in ages 35-50. I knew my brother in law and the man that took his own life wasn't the man that I knew. The only difference in his life was he had covid. My mind wants to think that says it all, but the doctors and scientists arent studying it. I don't know if they aren't seeing it as a potential symptom and just chalking it up to the lock downs etc., or what but someone out there really needs to take a deep look into this. It could save lives if people were aware that it's a symptom of covid. Maybe it would make people stop and say they need help. And families like mine won't have to suffer finding their loved one when they come home like my sister did. In loving memory of Dale...the most amazing brother in law and best friend a sister in law is lucky enough to have had. !
It’s my suggestion; that there is damage to the vagus and occipital nerve. I have been looking at possible ulceration and membrane damage/disintegration, as well as brain tissue inflammation and or infection damage leaving detritus. Just my own personal experience.
@@janetownley Thank you Patty 🙏 you are very kind 🌺 I am, what could be called Extremely Environmentally Reactive with a Unique Physiology.

Very sad that they're willing to risk their own lives and the lives of people they care about rather than admit they were wrong. I just hope their selfishness doesn't come into contact with anyone l care about.
While having a get together at a friend and coworker's pool, we all talked about how bad our memories, brain fog and finding words seems to be for all of us. We are all Healthcare workers and all vaccinated and I wondered if it had anything to do with this. I mentioned it to them and we all were thinking maybe it does. I feel like I have an old brain. I walk in a room and can't remember why I went in there. I have been in the car driving and blanked out as to where I was going. I used to be able to recall a huge list in my mind and now I find I need to write everything down so I don't forget. I'm worried about getting a booster because I don't want to live my life like this. I'm praying this goes away over time and doesn't get worse.
They are only talking about what the virus does, NOT the potential damage of the experimental injections. These aren't vaccines in the traditional sense of the word. They are experimental nanotech injections. There is absolutely zero IN VIVO proof that they are safe to use in the general population. People who are hesitant are people who still have the ability to think critically.
Heather Carol l feel just like you described before the vaccine. l got fibromyalgia it comes with all those symptoms and you are also over worked like all the medical community this day's. They said that those symptoms are related to people that got Covid19. I am vaccinated l feel just like l feel before no better no worse nothing to do with the vaccine.
I noticed that! Looks a bit too thin to be a bass. Possibly a mandolin or electric ukelele? Even what appears to be a guitar, the headstock has a very odd shape.
So I've basically had brain fog all my life but doctors call it ADHD. Horrible concentration, bad memory, poor comprehension skills, etc. No medications have ever worked. Could this have been caused by an autoimmune disease?
More and more it is emerging that those with ADHD have a disruption in certain regions of the cerebellum that are key to feedback loops when major neuropathway development is taking place along with synaptic pruning in early childhood. The primary result of this is an under active frontal cortex (oversimplified but not looking to write a novel here). Curiously, cerebellar abnormalities are also implicated in ASD as well, which may explain some *slight* overlap in the manifestation of the two disorders (sensory processing sensitivities, social cue attenuation). Although an abnormality in the immune system could _potentially_ be implicated in the neuropathophysiology of the disorder's onset, it is probably a stretch to implicate an autoimmune disease here. Look no further than how comorbid they are with one another.
A bit frightening - I'm already having memory problems, had a stroke in my late fifties, and had the alpha Covid before I qualified for the vaccine. I definately noticed a fog for a few weeks after I had the virus. Definately got vacinated. I'm hoping a booster comes out soon!
sheep do you eat a plant based diet? that is why No b12 or DHA/EPA found in plants I had brain fog afterwards switching to a meat based diet and quit sugar and plants from my diet sugar is very toxic to the brain 52 names for sugar from plants brain fog is just a sugar hang over the guy is A LIAR you just have a sugar hang over every day Meat is the natural human diet as humans don't have a rumen like a plant eater i.e herbivore Wheat = grass seeds corn = grass seeds sugar = grass juice rice = grass seeds oats = grass seeds bread = grass seeds As you can see the issue is the consumption of grass that you're being fed, labeled as healthy ONLY rudiment animals should be eating grass not you HIGH CHOLESTEROL HIGH SATURATED animal fat diet is the way to go The brain is mostly made of cholesterol / amino acids and saturated animal fat,, Maybe this is something that should be in your diet ..

This is not the way to report scientific studies. At a minimum, a link to the study should be included so we can determine all of the factors that one must always consider before we can give appropriate weight to the study's outcome. What was the study's size? Was there a control group? Most importantly, when this person says "people" experienced negative cognitive effects, not once does he identify what percentage of the studied group experienced these effects. 50%? 1%? Without this basic information your report is meaningless, but it is "alarming", which appears to be the only standard most media today appear to follow. Only halfway through did I learn that the study only suggests an "association" between these symptoms and Covid, with the person admitting that the study does not constitute proof of causation (see 6:27 - 7:28)
I think you are missing the bug picture here. Don't get so bogged down in specifics. The message here, since the study is ongoing, is this is yet another reason to get vaccinated. Another reason to be safe around others and take this virus as serious as it is. WARNING: Some critical thinking might be involved.
This is not surprising, though disturbing. Binary beats are often recommended for folks recovering from traumatic brain energy. I wonder if that would help in recovering the brain’s health after having Covid?
This is so alarming. I wonder if they're seeing evidence of brain lesions from demyelization like with MS. These types of lesions can also occur following viral illnesses such as lyme disease.
Every single long covid symptom including loss of cognitive ability are the same symptoms as a b12 deficiency. I wish some researcher would look into the correlation. I'd be shocked that no one has made the connection yet, but most doctors don't even know how to diagnose a b12 deficiency so I'm not all that surprised.
It's alarming, all the people that got the vaccine, that have died, had heart attacks, or became incapacitated in one form or another because of the vaccine. Whatever happened to "do no harm"?
@@nedcramdon1306 You can't. Doctors are under-reporting effects for fear of reprisal from their colleagues. And even so the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) shows thousands of reported deaths and the numbers are rising every day. It used to be that the VAERS was considered to be underreported by a factor of ten. Might be worse now, with all the "antivaxxer" language around. You're considered immoral, unpatriotic, and an imbecile if you take a moment to consider the risks associated with an experimental injection that has no long-term safety outcomes done, and absolutely no compensation for your family if you die or are disabled from the injection. Yeah, that makes sense
Could it have anything to do with the fact that some of them are trying to cure themselves by taking horse deworming medicine? The results we be affected by the fact that the executive function of your average antivaxer is probably below average.
@@joycewright5386 "I'm guessing you never had a bad reaction to a vaccine". I'm guessing you've never been gored by a unicorn. Let me know when JAMA accepts the results of your "ton of research".
I had dengue fever, suddenly i could not understand or speak the language of the country i was in (which i had spoken fluently for 15 years) and it took me over a year to recover my general fitness. I have noted many similarities between effects of the dengue virus and covid virus.
I've dealt with ADHD my entire life. After COVID-19, it seems to me like I'm not even taking medication for it anymore even though I am. That's just a tiny part of it. It's horrible.
In order to measure cognitive deficits you would need to measure before and after measurements on the same people who got COVID and compare with a comparable group people tested in the same timeframe who did not get COVID. Was that what was done? The study should be linked in the description. Show data please.
How can we be sure these cognitive issues aren't from sudden extreme stress conditions? And how do these issues relate to other virus related cognitive decline?
They need a control group or two too, not old data. Could be the general population has recently gotten dumber, not just the covid positive. And there could be nocebo effect. So a nocebo control group aswell.
Are they sure it isn't just cognitive dysfunction that lead them to the risky behaviours that increased the probabilities of being infected in the first place...
I am post covid and covid related pneumonia, I can feel I'm not the same, my thinking is not as clear. I'm so afraid I won't get back to my normal self.
The “brain fog” is just one of the symptoms of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia that we have been telling about for years, but no one would listen.
Yup. The one silver lining of the pandemic perhaps.
Still, so very frustrating it is taking so long - over 2 decades for me. FWIW, Health Rising, a blog that analysis's CFS & FMS, Lyme disease studies for decades is now tracking all studies & research about the connection.
So a virus may be the cause
@@MF-ty2zn It may well be that a virus is not the “cause” but is one of the “ triggers .”
Hashimoto's, too!
Cognitive underperformance is an understatement. I have long haul Covid symptoms and my new low ability to cope with stress, my drastically limited planning ability and other cognitive delays are dramatically impacting my life. I don't know if I can even continue to teach. It is demoralizing, frustrating and quite overwhelming. Although I may not have been batting 100 to begin with, my long haul symptoms came on with Covid, not before. I never had ringing in my ears before, severe headaches, brain fog, or this level of confusion or brain fog.
Long haul covid has changed me and my life completely. I'm not the same person. Take care ❤
I would highly recommend looking into "toxic overload", you may be able to help your immune system recover faster, by simply avoiding a few blatantly obvious expositions. Most importantly household chemicals.
Daily migraines, off-and-on brain fog, and inability to deal with even minor stresses are my main issues as well. Good luck, we all need it.
I have experienced similar symptoms after I had a bad case of flu 2 years ago. Brain fog, irritability on the smallest things, inability to concentrate. Since I was at a low point in my life too I kinds blame it on that.
But now I m pretty sure it was out of result of that severe flu.
I went to see a naturopathic doctor who wrote a detailed guide of the diet I should follow and supplement I should take for a specific period.
It was very very hard, in fact I only manage to do it 3 months later, because there was a lot of the restrictions in the guidelines. But once I set myself to follow them for the FULL duration that was recommended, 70% of my symptoms disapeared

Great interview, and with an extremely knowledgable and sober researcher who can just lay it out so clearly and methodically. I truly wish more news organizations would make material like this available. Well done!
I measure cognition for a living and this information needs to be shared with diagnosticians so we know what we're dealing with. Really frightening.
It has also been very frightening for those people who have contracted CFS & Fibromyalgia & have very similar symptoms (if not identical) ...some for many decades. It doesn't help that 98% of all doctors STILL dismiss our symptoms.
@@IMSiegfried I’m hoping that taking this seriously and learning about it will have a spillover effect into the handling of those other conditions. Hoping really hard.

It's a pain for sure. Post viral fatigue is real. Even during the virus the brain fog can make you very irritable and after found myself struggling to remember worse to communicate quickly. Not fun being slow. But I think many can recover cognitive function if they didn't have severe oxygen deprivation. Just gotta treat it like a concussion from inflammation or oxygen deprivation. Rest. Rest. Rest. Omega-3s and light mental training exercises.
@@carolynworthington8996 Yes. As a person living with fibro/cfs, I think so.
When you have a disease that attacks your cognitive abilities, you are going to suffer frustration for the rest of your life. This is a bad side effect if this disease. If people are cognitive challenged, society is going to suffer.
Idk. I have the same symptoms from CFS & FMS but you learn to accept it b/c the alternative -- is not something I choose for myself.

Yes. People with other chronic diseases, that have been mis-diagnosed/mis-treated, also have neurological damage.
@@cdubya3071 agreed, the diagnosis of fibromyalgia is only applied when no cause can be attributed to the multitude of debilitating symptoms. I wouldn't be surprised to find a link to neurological damage from some ,as of yet, undiscovered mechanism. not only giving new meaning to the dismissal "it's all in your head" an accusation often levelled at sufferers in the past, such mechanism may go a long way to creating treatment options for diagnosis currently untreatable (or as well as) such as chronic trauma encephalitis another painful, debilitating multi symptom disease.

I have had Fibromyalgia for 15 years now, contracted after a severe infection behind my eye, which they believe was the trigger point for it and Long Covid sounds very much like the same as I have experienced. It may be that Covid is the trigger virus causing many more cases of Fibromyalgia, Hashimoto and others within the same family of illnesses. I wish you well and hope you begin to feel better soon.

i'm wondering what will be the long-term impact of covid. the spanish flu left its mark on the children of mothers who were exposed and survived.
Makes it particularly worrying to imagine younger children, who cannot be vaccinated and will be going back to school (often with unvaccinated fellow students, teachers, and staff), could end up with lifelong serious medical issues due to the pandemic. It's sad that so many people in positions of power and so many ill-informed parents care more about imagined rights than about our children's health. :(
They simply cannot sacrifice for the greater good, sadly. Wonderful lesson to teach the next generation. Oh, wait....because we have fouled the planet they probably won't be here anyway.
It's almost as if there is a certain segment of the population who believe themselves to be truly independent. It's akin to the prepper phenomenon a little. There's a belief that needing other people is indicative of some sort of weakness or deficiency and character, and then there is the notion that the other people that interact with us to keep us going everyday are sort of invisible. It's really a tragedy. I think of the stalwart people who imagine themselves to be independent and self- sufficient. But then they go on a respirator from covid, and the fact that we really do need other people is laid bare. It's almost a uniquely American thing, this idea that I captain my own ship and never need anyone else. In truth, all of our lives we need other people, and all of our lives other people are in need of us. To bastardize George Odell.

I have exactly those symptoms for 8 months. I thought of them as being the side effects of a medical drug I took before it started though. Wasn‘t testetd for covid around that time :/
The Covid mRNA vaccines have been causing the same sort of side effect in some people.
Additionally, I wonder what role the chronic fear and anxiety, i.e. the never ending fight or flight response, that one experiences when living through such daily adversity, may have on cognitive functioning.
Exactly what I was thinking. And what I'm going through tbh. My brain is fried, just barely holding together at the seams... But the show must go on!
Yes! I 'd like to know that myself. I have been living with some level of fear for the past 500+ days. I have good reason.
I have Generalized Myasthenia Gravis, and have been intubated in the past because of it (with some post ICU intubation PTSD as a result). I can tell you from first hand knowledge that this is something you do not want to experience if you can avoid it. I also have to take an immune suppressant medication daily in order to stay alive. I've had two doses of vaccine and will likely be receiving a third when it's available to me. I am so very tired of living in fear.

@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax ho brah you no no i no you no no you stay lolo.lol
It's good to see an interviewer who has insight into the subject and consequently asks relevant and efficient questions. I wish this was more often the case!
As a retired Psychologist
I not only have noticed this in friends and family but, in myself. I wonder how much is depression and anxiety from the fear and psychological aspects from financial pressures ,changes in lifestyles and routines, and the physical changes from the immune system reaction and new less tested medicines, treatments and vaccines. Many have changed diet, exercise, sleep and social interaction, religious experience s, sexual and relationship activity all which affect body, mind and spirit.
I'd like to see the questionnaires that were used to see how this information was extracted and interpreted and see if any bias.
Excellent interviewer very prepared, neutral and calm. This is no media attention hog. We need media that is spreading neutral news and not doom and gloom. Many are depressed and having severe anxiety over their futures. Work, marriage, family, illness finances, sex, careers and education are very profound aspects of life all being packed full throttle by Covid and the fear mongers. I want more info like this.
I had covid and had 8 months of brain fog. Its very real, and I am as skeptical as anyone. But what Im not is stressed/depressed about covid.
II wonder if meditation could impact to some extent? And there are various forms of meditation not just breathing and/or focus on a mantra. Sound therapy, via relaxing music, Tibetan gongs/ singing bowls, not to mention physical practices yoga, tai chi, Qi gong, Pilates , and all forms of physical exercise.
As in any autoimmune disease there is brain fog, cognitive reasoning problems and extreme fatigue....
I wouldn't say 'any'. I have two auto immune diseases that don't include the brain fog or cognitive reasoning effects, but impact on levels of anxiety and fatigue, absolutely.
Individuals with autoimmune diseases can have symptoms involving any body part/function/organ. Lupus, MS, Parkinson's, RA, etc., effects each individual differently. After-effects of Covid will be just as varied.
covid is not an auto-immune disease
Covid rules s not autoimmune
I found this interview to be incredibly frustrating, as one really obvious question was never asked: what percentage? What percentage of covid patients are displaying cognitive decline? Is it 1%? 100? We have no idea because it was neither asked nor mentioned. I was glad to hear Dr. Hampshire mention that less severe disease means less severe decline, but I would have liked some discussion on the effects of vaccines on this element of covid. The viewer is left to make the connection between vaccination, less severe disease and therefore less severe cognitive decline (if any?) themselves.
Good that this is being brought to our attention but some key points were missed in this interview.
Saved me listening to the whole interview, waiting for the vaccine to be addressed.
I had all the same thoughts listening to this interview. Also wondering how the added stress of quarantine plays into this cognitive deficit. Seems like there are a lot of variables.
Old Statueface, the data changes regularly, and you might check out the Zoe Symptom tracker, which estimates 2% long Covid in the UK (as of Jan 8, 2022). See John Campbell's summary here czcams.com/video/P17_Op2kOk4/video.html
ye was a bad interview. That host wasnt asking questions....he was trying to put words into the doctor's mouth. As pretty close to a lawyer leading a witness I thought.
We never knew the results of Polio until the 80's, and it started in the 50's. Ventillators are the new iron lung, many died
Complete personal anecdote-- I had COVID in May, without question I feel cognitively dull. Memory and emotional behavior is unusually imprecise in the moths after recovering and my moods teeter between lots of anxiety and depression, I'm not necessarily prone to those behaviors. However, even in my own circumstance, I feel as if also, lockdown and resulting isolation and reduction of so much normal social interaction has definitely worn on me. It's seemingly more acute since. Additionally in my current county, i was finally able to get the vaccine last week-- experienced moderate normal side effects including some covid like symptoms, and as i shook it definitely also feels like emotionally and anxiety wise a fresh wave of the fogginess. Subjective, i know-- but something feels off.
Do keep a record of things and check with doctors. I do hope things get better for you. I do know a teenager who has issues a year later, no underlying or other concerns pre-Covid. Her short-term memory and brain fog frustrate her on a daily basis. She is also now prone to inflammation injuries. The doctors just say to give it more time. Most people I know got through it okay but it is not worth the risk. Another I know now has heart issues.
My mother's friend was in the hospital with Covid-19 for 100 days. He was one of the sharpest 70 something people I know. He has a neurologist now. I would agree with the other comment, document your symptoms and stay in touch with your physician. Sending you healing prayers. ❤
Similar type things happen with people with lyme disease. Diet changes help. Lots of fresh vegetables and fruit. Less dairy, bread with gluten, too much red meat, processed foods, and any item that might cause slight stomach discomfort, headache, or rash. Good food can help heal body and emotions. I see you growing stronger everyday.
My experience has been nearly identical. I had hoped the vaccine would improve my long Covid symptoms. It did seem to for a couple of months, but I now seem to be right back at square one. Not just brain fog, but a depressive like inability to follow through on mental activities like paperwork, filing my taxes, etc. Terribly frustrating
This happened to me after contracting CFS and Fibromyalgia. I can tell you that at least for me (& I'm never the only one) the brain fog and some of the other symptoms do get better with time. Not perfect by any means but much better than it was in the beginning.

I have had Long COVID since July 2020. Many of my symptoms reduced significantly after being vaccinated. But I get 3 or 4 brain farts a day versus 3 or 4 a year. My vision is impaired at night, light sources bloom outward as though I am driving through fireworks at night. The ability to focus on tasks took a major hit. I can no longer talk to my wife when we are in the car because of the road noises. I can hear her words but I can't comprehend them because my brain wants to listen to every sound I hear. I have to make a chore list because trying to remember the 3rd task, sometimes the 2nd, has become challenging. I would have been better off dying from COVID because now I am a disabled burden. My family is facing homelessness. They would have received $550k from life insurance had I died instead I have a medical bill I'll never be able to pay off. Surviving COVID sucks for the millions like me. By next year a billion people may be suffering from Long COVID. Mask up save another person's life.
I am sorry to hear about your long-COVID. As someone who has been debilitated by one of the conditions related to long-COVID for over decade I sympathize. However, it must be horrible to lose your health so suddenly, mine was progressive.
I hope you can find a solution to your situation and let's hope your body can repair itself. Try to keep hope alive and your spirits up. Depression, whilst understandable is only going to make the symptoms worse. All the best.
I know. That's what Lyme/ M.E sufferers have had to put up with for years already.
My thoughts exactly...but NO ONE is listening
This happens with neuroborreliosis too. If only the doctors and scientists had listened to and believed us decades ago, they would have been better prepared for this.
You bet. I’m a carnival barker.
Also true for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyelitus (CFS/ME), and Gulf War Illness.
Yes, and this disease Neuroborreliosis broke out near a biolab on Plum Island, only 10 miles from Lyme, Conn. in the 1970s and became increasingly wide spread over the years. These patients weren't believed, weren't helped, told they were crazy, told there is no such thing as chronic Lyme. And, they still aren't getting the help they need. Then, the CDC leaders for Lyme wanted to make bucks off a VX. So, then they changed their tune. "Oh, yes there is such thing as chronic Lyme now," they said, "Oh, we need a VX," they said. But, a VX doesn't help those already sick with this disease. Same thing with Gulf War Syndrome. They must be making it up, they were told, it's in their head. It couldn't be anything they were exposed to. Maybe the Lyme patients who have suffered for years can now get the help they need. They are often left in severe pain as well, and now they can't get help for that either because of the illegal Fentanyl opiate drug crisis, and who was really making the money from this. Instead of following the money trail which never lies, instead it was more convenient to blame doctors. All this did is freak out the doctors and many retired and/or shut down their pain clinics. So, Lyme patients are left disabled, with cognitive changes, brain fog, and many in severe pain. The number one cause of death for Lyme patient is suicide because they are locked in totally disabled bodies and cannot get the help their need. Maybe since their is no doubt the current virus came from a biolab, Lyme patients will finally be believed and can finally get the help need as well. I pray they can. They have suffered too long.
@@anneteller3128 Gulf War illness has now been shown to be connected to a stealth form of the virus CMV (cytomegalovirus). It's too bad they didn't recognize that thirty years ago... or believed the folks who had it (not only the vets, but also the communities where it spread when they came home); or the folks with CFS/ME connected to Epstein Barr virus, or with never-diagnosed causes.
@@karenlynningalls5851 A lot of people have these two viruses and most don't know it even though they may have symptoms. (Or, at least the regular version of CMV). Often health care providers will talk about them like, oh, a significant portion of the population has them, like that makes it OK. They cannot tell us the cause for many common diseases because that's not where the research money flows. Now, the sanctity of your very body has become a political issue. If half the money was spent on research using our greatest minds to find cures instead of symptomatic treatment, I have no doubt there would be cures for most illnesses, except for maybe the chromosomal anomalies.
**We need more research on the effects of inflammation on the brain.** This includes autoimmune “brain fog,” “chemo brain,” and these post-COVID symptoms. The symptoms are all the same - but not understood or treated sufficiently. These symptoms can be the make-it-or-break-it for disability. If we can understand this so that it can be prevented, identified early, regularly monitored, and treated, we may reduce the incidence of disability in autoimmune diseases and post-inflammatory diseases and improve quality of life for those suffering from these symptoms.
As a neuroscientist this scares hell outof me.

Are you saying that you believe people that recover from Covid-19 are out of control and impulsive? If so, that is a very harmful statement to be making about a group of innocent people. You seem to be the irrational one making statements without proof.
Need to study this in people who have breakthrough infections as well. Hari’s question is valid. For example, is a person with a family history of Alzheimer’s more vulnerable to this phenomenon?
He mentioned that being vaccinated would reduce the chances of becoming ill and if you do become ill, the severity would be greatly reduced. Granted that's pretty much at the end of the video so you may not have seen it before posting.
@@johnwang9914 There's no guarantee that vaccine with Delta will keep you from being hospitalized. There's plenty of once healthy and fit vaxxed 30 & 40 yo needing hospitalization. Bottom line don't put yourself in harm's way. Don't let down your guard when fully vaccinated. Double mask. No gatherings with food and drink. Get boosters as antibody protection WANES in both infected and those fully vaxxed, sometimes in 3 months a big drop. Memory cells not always a good backup when spike protein ABs WANE and with Delta you want lots of spike ABs in the early days of infection and they usually take a few days to kick in.
@@notsogreen Nothing is perfect but the efficacy of the vaccine against being hospitalized with the Delta variant is still a respectably high effectiveness for vaccines in general, we actually expected far lower effectiveness in the first generation of vaccines against the first versions to spread globally. Remember that every few years, the flu vaccine would be as poor as 50% efficacy and before we had a COVID vaccine, we were planning on the first vaccines being 50% effective. It's fortunate that the vaccines we now have proved far more effective than expected and this is also true of against hospitalization with the Delta variant. Besides some protection is better than none so just because it isn't an absolute guarantee against being hospitalized is no reason to not take it. Besides, vaccination doesn't prevent you from taking other measures from being infected such as avoiding congregation, social distancing, hand washing and wearing masks. The vaccine still very much saves lives. Can't you see you're just desperately seeking irrational arguments to defend a false cognitive bias... Sure, there will be long term studies but remember the pandemic was recognized in February and March of 2020 and is still happening now and the the vaccine has only been around since December of 2020. The vaccine is needed now, the studies so far have been extremely in favour of the vaccine even though some adverse effects are noted. It is irrational to be expecting 5 to 10 years of studies before accepting the vaccine given the pandemic is here now. Even the strict precautions of countries like Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan will eventually break down. Drinking sift drinks and not exercising also contributes to Alzheimer's. If a qualified reputable Doctor doesn't say you can't take the vaccine for medical reasons then you should take the vaccines. Now some Doctors have been telling patients who are immuno compromised not to take the AstraZeneca vaccine as it is live Adeno viruses and some have been telling some patients not to take certain vaccines due to allergies to certain components but remember that unlike the Sputnik V vaccine, the Adeno virus in AstraZeneca is intentionally a chimpanzee virus that is less able to infect humans as well as being specifically modified to not replicate in humans and the ingredients to all the vaccines are commercial adjuvants for all vaccines tested to be less likely for people to be allergic to them and we have been using them for decades. If a Doctor hasn't specifically instructed you not to take the vaccine and is willing to write a letter saying so that will be respected by other Doctors, not taking the vaccine is still an irrational decision regardless of how desperate you are in rationalizing your fears.
@@johnwang9914 I know all that and agree. Actually got a male friend rushing out the door tonight, for his first dose of Moderna vaccine when I brought up how Delta can mess up men's testes causing sexual dysfunction and weakened/ depleted sperm. Even mentioned how a man can recover and still have virus lingering in testes,, similar to what happened to some Ebola infected men who thought they cleared the virus, but months later passed the Ebola virus on to a sexual partner.
Shet happens.
Anyway been telling men this way before Delta arrived. Works like a charm. Most men will not bring this issue up unfortunately, and suffer in silence. But I believe it's my civic duty to keep men informed worldwide..
@@notsogreen You do realize I called out your crap of the vaccine causing sterilization as total crap for the poorly educated. Vaccines teach the immune system to attack an antigen which in this case is the spike proteins and the vaccines are flushed from your body in days so only the immune response remains and develops. Does your tested have spikes proteins on them? Your post is that of an utter lunatic. The sterilization mentioned with vaccines refers to the virus's ability to transmit through the host, it's about the sterilization of the virus not of the person.

I want to encourage you that people can improve from neurological damage. You probably know already that sleep, plenty of water, and healthy food can help. To have the raw materials for rebuilding nerves: B vitamins, vit d3, fish oil and phosphotidyl serine (found in chicken hearts, liver and legs, the lining of egg shells , and other animal organs that are more difficult to find or in a supplement). Daily meditation or other relaxation discipline and journaling can help you see your recovery. I witnessed the long term recovery of someone who had a total collapse after adult onset mononucleosis (63 y/o) I have also witnessed a person recover from a car wreck where the car hit their head and left a dent. I know several people who had problems post surgery. They have all had improvement and in some cases recovery. It may never be like it was before the event but life can be good again.

I already have what I feel are "age induced" cognitive deficits. I don't need to lower my IQ or increase my cognitive deficits more than I currently experience. Scary.
I wonder how much of this might be due to increased isolation and fear that people with active Covid probably experienced. My husband and I had been experiencing greater isolation ( as a consequence of his impaired immune system) for a couple of years prior to Covid .During that time we both found ourselves struggling more with executive functioning.
The link between air pollution and inflammation is becoming more and more evident.
What we breathe is playing a much bigger role in inflammation than we currently think.
The levels considered not harmful are guesses (bad ones) which are being shown to be completely out of touch with reality.
ftp.iza.org/dp12632.pdf
"The results show that poor indoor air quality hampers cognitive performance significantly. We find that an increase in the indoor concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by 10 μg/m3 increases a player’s probability of making an erroneous move by 26.3%. The impact increases in both magnitude and statistical significance with rising time pressure."
My 94 yr old gma has dementia. Our fam would visit her in the nursing home weekly... when they isolated her for 8 months becuz of covid (aka prison) She forgot who her children and grandchildren were. The nursing home ended up getting covid anyway throughout the building and nurses were quitting left and right... 50+ ppl died in that home due to many reasons such as covid and negligence and not enuf staff so we took out gma out right as soon as we heard they got covid. Her family comes to our house now to visit and she is doing much better cognitive wise. Unfortunately, every single day at least 20+ times she says "am i gonna b here all day?" "Am i gonna be here all day tomorrow?"... it breaks my heart every time cuz i thought it was due to her dementia which is of course a huge primary factor. But ive realized the majority y she says it is cuz she was stuck staring at a wall, no family visits, no activities, she dont even know how to turn on tv anymore or call anyone and the nurses never had time to help her.

@@robinhood4640 great. The air quality in my room sucks. I have an air purifier and try to open the windows but i often get frustrated at the amount of dust i often find on stuff grrr drives me crazy
@@Shhways We don't all have the same resistance/tolerance to the quality of the air we breathe.
Not all particles in the air are that harmful either. Particles that you can see, will not get past the filters in your lungs (generally). The ones that enter the blood and circulate around the whole body, are the ones you can't see. Some particles are more chemically stable than others, and some mixes of particles/gases create more chemical instability than others.
The complexity of everything that is going on in the air we breathe, makes it very difficult to correctly evaluate how exactly a specific component affects us.
Roxy, some of it is due to that. The less exercise you are getting to stimulate blood flow and endorphins to your brain, the fewer people you are in contact with, the less you use your brain to deal with day to day problems and situations (even as simple as driving), the less you do and the fewer novel experiences you face, all of this, of course, is going to ngatively affect the brain. The cliche if you don't use it, you lose it applies to the brain. It nneds to stay active.
Bit of a worry given how many world leaders have now had Covid….
Before covid many of them has been in the fog.
If we can believe them which is doubtful and if we can belief the notoriously faulty tests ~ also doubtful.
Lol! That’s going to be scarier than COVID-19 itself. ZOMBIES!
When I got covid in March/April of 2020, I wasn't sure what I got. I do so poorly with respiratory illnesses, I assumed if I got covid it would destroy me. But instead, I got fevers and confusion, and to a friend I would joke about the symptoms list, "new confusion, as opposed to the old confusion"... but it wasn't a joke, it was a nightmare. I wouldn't get the cough until two months later, and wasn't even sure it was related. At some point I even wondered if I had a mini-stroke, because not long before the symptoms started, I was under a ton of pressure and actually had to go to court. But the truth of it is, I got covid while at court, sitting in that room of dozens of people thinking to myself, "that new virus they say isn't really here yet, it's totally in this room, and we all have it now."
I've had a migraine every day since covid, and the brain fog has been there off and on. I struggle for words more often than is sane, my chronic memory loss took a notable dive for the worse, and it seems like I can't deal with even minor stresses properly anymore. It's not making mountains out of molehills... everything is a mountain now. At least I'm fully vaccinated as of some weeks ago, but good gods did the side-effect symptoms hit me bad. And that's how I figured out I had covid last year, because you couldn't get tested back then. I had the same symptoms with both vaccine shots, just sped up. So yeah... I'm not surprised data is starting to show this thing eats people's brains, but it definitely is disturbing.
Me too. Horrid Pfizer after effects, But after the three days of pain post inoculation I felt better. Much better. I’m looking forward to the booster at this point. I’d like my brain back.
I had Pfizer and I had a bit of soreness at the injection site, but no other symptoms.
I could have written your comment. I totally relate to what you are saying. When I have to name someone or something during a conversation I have to pause because I can't think of the word. I got really sick Mar 2020 and didn't get energy back til that July. I live in a remote area and when I asked to get tested I was asked one question..."Did you just come back from China?" My answer was no ... So rather rudely I was told I didn't meet the criteria to get tested. Hang in there.
Attend to your immune system! Binaural sounds might be of some subtle help. Good luck!
I had a symptoms list that covered an entire sheet of paper. My parents were afraid I might have a tumor or something. It's fibromyalgia.
Depression, stress and anxiety can cause memory problems and cognitive malfunctions. We all have certainly had LOTS of all of those. Perhaps it would be time well-spent to research the covid/ mental health link that might be causing the impatience, selfish, agressive and violent..even murderous behavior that has increased since Covid.
Yes, homelessness, losing homes/property, losing businesses-life's work and savings, losing loved ones, being afraid of the vaccine or treatments, losing job and income, ect, also some dealing with losing childcare and other services they needed to live their normal lives-huge stressful upheaval that has went on for 2 years now, ridiculous.
I do not blame that one president but since around 2016, I think cognitive functions and empathy worldwide have suffered. A lot.
We are drowning in a torrent of lies and beliefs where verified facts are available.
I've been so afraid this would be a thing it has given me nightmares. Ever since I had covid in January, including after getting vaccinated I have been in a horrifyingly confusing mindset and there have been times on the road where I get lost in a sort of loop around my home. I spent the other day just crying in the parking lot bc my gps kept telling me where to go but would land me in odd places. Which sucks on its own but combined with my fog and slog brain sent me into a fit in a place I had never even needed GPS.
I had it too. I started going for walks, light cardio exercise, and taking vitamins C, D and Zinc. Im feeling much better now.
I've been very cognitively impaired too. Can't remember names, recent memories etc. I believe I had Covid in Feb 2020. Just a few days, no big deal. Mostly fatigue and sore throat. I haven't taken a vacks. Maybe it's 5G? I never thought that just a mild case of Covid could be the cause of my cognitive decline...!
I'M really sorry about you getting lost. That is so scary. I know that lecithin and coconut oil are good for the brain. Hang in there and I will too. keep a sense of humor and make a list of things that make you happy...🙋🏻♀️🦋🌺

@@noeldeal8087 I've started keeping maps in my car again, and find them much more helpful
This may sound different, but, as a Multiple Sclerosis sufferer, I took the symptoms of Covid-19 very seriously. Why? Brain fog ment something to me, and I heard, words like cognitive deficit and obstructive physical problems as well as speech functionally issies and it to me, back to my many MRI results and I wonder, how does COVID-19 affects the brain,
What happens after the patients overcome this problem?
Any ideas?
My guess would be inflammation, inflammation seems to be the root of many issues.
@@TH-eb5ro - It would explain the daily migraines I have with long-haul covid. I had chronic migraines before covid but since then, I've had a handful of non-consecutive days where I didn't have to do pain management. Mind you, I got covid in March of 2020. I'm amazed I can think at all anymore.
...and then there's all the experts in the comments with their own findings.
They “did their own research” by drooling on CZcams.
*there are all the experts....
*Ani Marter* - Yip - & if they moved off CZcams they would see every country, every university & pharmaceutical company is studying the same thing. Regards.
If any doctor believes you. I can’t get any doctor to believe my problems started during covid and hadn’t stopped 14 months later
You need to see a neurologists, a GP probably won't ever have seen this and can't help anyway.

You know, I’m still depressed after my first Pfizer shot last May 14, 2021, and I’m not planning to get my second jab. I don’t care I’m segregated from the dual vaccine. It’s breaking our family apart. 😞. ONE LOVE TO HUMANITY! I love everybody.
The effects by the SARS Cov-2 virus on cognitive abilities may not be new, but we may be seeing them for the first time due to the numbers of people infected all at the same time. Many symptoms of Long Covid are similar to those seen in other post virial syndromes.
I'm dealing with long Covid, even though I had a relatively mild case, no hospitalization. I had it in the very beginning of the pandemic (March 2020), and ever since then almost no sense of smell, and definite cognitive issues. Mostly forgetting words. Even simple ones.
I used to be known for my great writing abilities- not professional, but a hobby and skill I've been known to enjoy/have as a strength since I was a young kid. Now I stumble through small things like, well...this comment is taking me forever to write, for one. My brain feels like it's on fire and now I frustrate most people I speak to. I had trouble trying to help my little kids with schoolwork this past year.
I'm not sure what else to say. I guess I'm glad I'm not just crazy or imagining this is happening.
You are not! I feel the same as you.....
Great interview. Interesting that the cognitive issues sound quite like Traumatic Brain Injury. I understand that lack of oxygen can also produce these symptoms. I have to wonder if this can increase anxiety, PTSD? We are seeing this in some friends that had COVID earlier on, mostly non-hospitalized.
They have said TBI will SLOW your recovery.....I have a TBI from a car wreck in 2013. So scared I will never be myself again.
A number of the mental disconnects you may be attributing to COVID19, have also in the past been attributed to dislocation and lack of grounding. Imagine all the changes we are going through with the number of deaths and lack of supply chains. These are also factors which can cause mental dislocation characteristics.
One of the most worthwhile comments made. Exactly.
Scientists consider those factors, obviously. Sorry, you can’t conspiracy your way out of this.
@@janetownley so someone comes up with an expanded observation that actually MAKES SENSE, and you’re triggered because it doesn’t fit neatly with your own theory and you have to name-call based on your own limited media-induced presuppositions??? OK, sure. That just reveals everything about YOU while doing NOTHING to negate the validity of the points made by the person you’re trying to put down.
@@janetownley If you don't have anything worthwhile to say that adds to the conversation don't say anything.
I was thinking I get all of this but for me I was getting it long before covid and it was due to isolation and the resulting stress. They would need to compare to a control group of those who were very isolated but without covid in order to begin to make any meaningful conclusions.
Had brain infection at the back base of my head, and felt it towards my left ear. So bad that it hurt my jaw to open wide enough to bite a sandwich. My thinking was glitchey. Every 10th word was coming out stupid. Got neck x-rays on left side. Said arthritis. Long story short. 3 months later, got a script of Fluvoxomein, and the Thyroid meds cleared up my thinking. I can speak a clear sentence again.
Lack of oxygen lack of the ability to cope or reason
This is so annoying. When I caught Covid And I tried to tell my doctor I thought it had affected my brain i was told I was paranoid . I lost the ability to focus, remember and pull words from memory. I thought I had early onset Alzheimer’s. I reached out to a physchiatrist who diagnosed me with ADHD. For a while I thought COVD gave me ADHD until I did more research and found that yes Covid does affect the dopamine in your brain and People with ADHD already have a shortage. Contrary to my initial hypothesis though- after more research regarding specific ADHD symptoms, I made the realization that I have had it all my life, C-19 just exacerbated it. It’s very difficult being the pandemic guinea pig and I’m curious to what kind of help will be available for people like myself in the future. There is going to be a whole generation of sufferers at this rate.
well the entire onslaught of folks who ended up with autism and now adults, not much support if any. Let's see, the folks in Flint Michigan, lied to and swept under the rug, Agent Orange comes to mind, yeah, nah, there won't be any help available according to track record. Disability? Can you prove you have chronic migraines? I mean you can't see them?? well, can you PROVE your decline in cognitive function was caused by covid and is keeping you from holding down a job? Just get a job picking up dog poo, that'll pay the bills. --they don't care about anyone.
Trump: man, woman, camera TV. Did I forget something?
missing person... what was her name ?
My boss got COVID (prior to vaccinations being available) in Nov, by early Dec she was diagnosed with long COVID, and the neurological impact has been huge. Her recent brain scans actually show what looks like TBI, and at the age of 51, she may be permanently disabled.
The brain is incredibly resilient and adaptable. Do not sell it short. Many have worked hard and had great success overcoming brain damage. Emotional trauma can cause the same symptoms. I had two foster chilren who were diagnosed as being mentally disabled and after having a good safe home, healthy meals, healthy activities and experiences were retested and removed from that category. One tested in educational reading tests at 2nd grade reading level in the fifth grade, but after being properly cared for tested at 6th-8th grade level a year later. The other at 4 years old was double the weight of a 4 year old and had little ability in receptive or expressive language. She had poor muscle tone. She mostly stared with her mouth opened. Six of months later she was running, playing, laughing and jabbering like any other 4 year old and with other children. Her eyes connected with others. She tested normal for her age when retested. I found that even teens given experiences missed in early childhood helped them gain new ground quickly. Adults with traumatic brain injury, if given good therapy and tough solid support have regained cognitive abilities and worked around challenges until the brain could recover. Just never give up. It takes time and persistence, I know. Do not give up.
Yes, except this isn't TBI. This is the same as those with CFS and Fibromyalgia to name just a couple illness. Lyme may also be similar but I'm not as familiar with it as I am CFS and FMS.
Confirms the experience of many COVID-19 survivors now fearing for their futures.
Damn. He’s describing me exactly
czcams.com/video/g-HXN4GLdy0/video.html
Same.
I’m concerned that long covid will bankrupt the social security disability system.
It will.
Hadn't thought of that but good point.
Please know that there is no way to know if this is permanent, except for those very sick L/T ICU survivors. We know that they are likely to either die in the following 12 months after discharge, or have sustained physical and cognitive problems that do not resolve. One reason why, as a healthcare provider, my proxy knows that I will never be ventilated. I know what it looks like on the other side, and I would not want that. There are worse things than dying.
One problem at at time please. The long term effects of virus will likely cause the whole world to rethink and adjust how we help each other. I hope it will anyway, I'm losing hope we can come together to save humanity.
It's already bankrupt.
Well the human brain is amazing. It is self healing. These cognitive issues might be only temporary.
How about the suicide as a symptom. My brother in law had covid in Feb. 2021 and on May 13th he took his own life. He was my brother in law for 19 years. He was one of my most favorite people. He wasn't just my brother in law he was a best friend to me. He was very devoted to family. He told me one time that he loves my sister so much that he missed her when she walked into another room. He said, "how is it possible to love her so much that I miss her when she is with me?" I understood exactly what he meant because I have that kind of love for my person. My family has suffered through 4 close friends die by there own hand through the years and we had a pact to never put our family/loved ones through the grief of taking our own lives. I will never forget that phone call for the rest of my life and hearing the devastation come from my sister. I swear it's so unreal that my mind still hasn't grasped the fact that it's true.
I ask if suicide can be a symptom of covid because when I told to the funeral director about him having covid his response was, "you wouldn't believe how many families have told me their loved one who committed suicide had covid. Also, when we went to the sheriff's department to get his belongings my sister said that since he had covid he would say he just didn't feel like himself. The sheriff looked at her and said, he has been thinking there could be a link between covid and suicide because he has heard the very same thing from other families. He said suicides are up 200% in the area. I believe that questions need to be asked to see whether or not people who have had covid could be at a higher risk of suicide or if it affects the middle age male brain differently, because the sheriff and the funeral director said they have seen suicide increase by men in ages 35-50.
I knew my brother in law and the man that took his own life wasn't the man that I knew. The only difference in his life was he had covid. My mind wants to think that says it all, but the doctors and scientists arent studying it. I don't know if they aren't seeing it as a potential symptom and just chalking it up to the lock downs etc., or what but someone out there really needs to take a deep look into this. It could save lives if people were aware that it's a symptom of covid. Maybe it would make people stop and say they need help. And families like mine won't have to suffer finding their loved one when they come home like my sister did.
In loving memory of Dale...the most amazing brother in law and best friend a sister in law is lucky enough to have had. !
Maybe it is time to start discussing treatments like vitamin D, zinc and ivermectin.
Make sure to be getting enough magnesium to enable the absorption of the vitamin D.
It’s my suggestion; that there is damage to the vagus and occipital nerve. I have been looking at possible ulceration and membrane damage/disintegration, as well as brain tissue inflammation and or infection damage leaving detritus. Just my own personal experience.

Good thing I watched many seasons of The Walking Dead.
Unable to find a link to the study being discussed. Would you please add one to the summary?
Simply look up the Drs name & several outlets come up.
While having a get together at a friend and coworker's pool, we all talked about how bad our memories, brain fog and finding words seems to be for all of us. We are all Healthcare workers and all vaccinated and I wondered if it had anything to do with this. I mentioned it to them and we all were thinking maybe it does. I feel like I have an old brain. I walk in a room and can't remember why I went in there. I have been in the car driving and blanked out as to where I was going. I used to be able to recall a huge list in my mind and now I find I need to write everything down so I don't forget. I'm worried about getting a booster because I don't want to live my life like this. I'm praying this goes away over time and doesn't get worse.
They are only talking about what the virus does, NOT the potential damage of the experimental injections. These aren't vaccines in the traditional sense of the word. They are experimental nanotech injections. There is absolutely zero IN VIVO proof that they are safe to use in the general population. People who are hesitant are people who still have the ability to think critically.
Heather Carol l feel just like you described before the vaccine. l got fibromyalgia it comes with all those symptoms and you are also over worked like all the medical community this day's. They said that those symptoms are related to people that got Covid19. I am vaccinated l feel just like l feel before no better no worse nothing to do with the vaccine.
I had Covid and I’m suffering from accessing simple and complex vocabulary when discussing everyday work tasks.
Wow, thanks for sharing this, very important!
Idiocracy is in full progress.
Also, I appreciate the doctors guitar and bass display.

Haha! Me too! That’s was my distraction, his guitars. Musician here.
So I've basically had brain fog all my life but doctors call it ADHD. Horrible concentration, bad memory, poor comprehension skills, etc. No medications have ever worked. Could this have been caused by an autoimmune disease?
More and more it is emerging that those with ADHD have a disruption in certain regions of the cerebellum that are key to feedback loops when major neuropathway development is taking place along with synaptic pruning in early childhood. The primary result of this is an under active frontal cortex (oversimplified but not looking to write a novel here). Curiously, cerebellar abnormalities are also implicated in ASD as well, which may explain some *slight* overlap in the manifestation of the two disorders (sensory processing sensitivities, social cue attenuation). Although an abnormality in the immune system could _potentially_ be implicated in the neuropathophysiology of the disorder's onset, it is probably a stretch to implicate an autoimmune disease here. Look no further than how comorbid they are with one another.
A bit frightening - I'm already having memory problems, had a stroke in my late fifties, and had the alpha Covid before I qualified for the vaccine. I definately noticed a fog for a few weeks after I had the virus. Definately got vacinated. I'm hoping a booster comes out soon!

This is not the way to report scientific studies. At a minimum, a link to the study should be included so we can determine all of the factors that one must always consider before we can give appropriate weight to the study's outcome. What was the study's size? Was there a control group? Most importantly, when this person says "people" experienced negative cognitive effects, not once does he identify what percentage of the studied group experienced these effects. 50%? 1%? Without this basic information your report is meaningless, but it is "alarming", which appears to be the only standard most media today appear to follow. Only halfway through did I learn that the study only suggests an "association" between these symptoms and Covid, with the person admitting that the study does not constitute proof of causation (see 6:27 - 7:28)
Denial is a wonderful tool until it's not.
I think you are missing the bug picture here. Don't get so bogged down in specifics. The message here, since the study is ongoing, is this is yet another reason to get vaccinated. Another reason to be safe around others and take this virus as serious as it is. WARNING: Some critical thinking might be involved.
This is not surprising, though disturbing. Binary beats are often recommended for folks recovering from traumatic brain energy. I wonder if that would help in recovering the brain’s health after having Covid?
A FREE solution? Surely you jest.

@@TerriblePerfection thank you.
Unfortunately if my experience has any weight the answer is no. Big fan of binary beats but it did not cure my brain fog.

This is so alarming. I wonder if they're seeing evidence of brain lesions from demyelization like with MS. These types of lesions can also occur following viral illnesses such as lyme disease.
Excellent information !
Well laid out and very clearly spoken ! Thank you for having this interview available to the public !
Every single long covid symptom including loss of cognitive ability are the same symptoms as a b12 deficiency. I wish some researcher would look into the correlation. I'd be shocked that no one has made the connection yet, but most doctors don't even know how to diagnose a b12 deficiency so I'm not all that surprised.
Evidence??
research it
It's alarming, all the people that got the vaccine, that have died, had heart attacks, or became incapacitated in one form or another because of the vaccine. Whatever happened to "do no harm"?
Where can I find some numbers or data on these serious side effects?
@@nedcramdon1306 You can't. Doctors are under-reporting effects for fear of reprisal from their colleagues. And even so the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) shows thousands of reported deaths and the numbers are rising every day. It used to be that the VAERS was considered to be underreported by a factor of ten. Might be worse now, with all the "antivaxxer" language around. You're considered immoral, unpatriotic, and an imbecile if you take a moment to consider the risks associated with an experimental injection that has no long-term safety outcomes done, and absolutely no compensation for your family if you die or are disabled from the injection. Yeah, that makes sense
Could it have anything to do with the fact that some of them are trying to cure themselves by taking horse deworming medicine?

Can "break through infections" cause these cognitive issues?
I've dealt with ADHD my entire life. After COVID-19, it seems to me like I'm not even taking medication for it anymore even though I am. That's just a tiny part of it. It's horrible.
My ADHD is noticeably worse as well, and almost a year and a half later I'm still experiencing brain fog and fatigue.
Great interview. Thanks.
In order to measure cognitive deficits you would need to measure before and after measurements on the same people who got COVID and compare with a comparable group people tested in the same timeframe who did not get COVID. Was that what was done? The study should be linked in the description. Show data please.
FWIW, the symptoms are very similar if not identical to those with CFS and Fibromyalgia.
Very interesting information. Thank you for your work.
How can we be sure these cognitive issues aren't from sudden extreme stress conditions? And how do these issues relate to other virus related cognitive decline?
They need a control group or two too, not old data. Could be the general population has recently gotten dumber, not just the covid positive. And there could be nocebo effect. So a nocebo control group aswell.
Are they sure it isn't just cognitive dysfunction that lead them to the risky behaviours that increased the probabilities of being infected in the first place...
I am post covid and covid related pneumonia, I can feel I'm not the same, my thinking is not as clear. I'm so afraid I won't get back to my normal self.
We all feel this way........
