I am just hoping that this:
The finding may explain why COVID-19 patients have such a wide range of brain-related symptoms, Nath says, including some related to brain areas that control functions such as heart rate, breathing and blood pressure.
"They complain of heart racing," he says, or that "when they stand up they get quite dizzy. Or they can have urinary problems."
Still others report feeling extreme fatigue, which can also be caused by a brain injury.
May possibly lead to investigation about HOW viruses can do this, and maybe shine a light on ME/CFS symptoms!!
I was lucky. Covid didn't appear to affect me any more deeply or profoundly than I had been before when all the dust settled (well, I don't know for sure, but don't think so.
But whatever-it-was that I caught in Spring 2018 certainly messed me up, and from day one I had bizarre neurological symptoms....only fairly mild but too weird. It also affected something connected with my autonomic system and led to lots of symptoms and still does. All invisible however on CT.
Re: olfactory hallucinations
@Rufous McKinney ....I have noticed that I easily "visualise" smells, and that has happened in the last 2 yrs 10 months. That's not too bad as symptoms go. All I have to do is think of something (onions, or lavender, or whatever) and I smell it.
