Okay all -- It's early days for figuring out how to help people with
Long COVID.

That said, a bit of promising research is starting to surface.

I'm taking the unusual step of emailing EVERYONE because at this point
many of you with anxiety and depression symptoms may have some Long
COVID (brain fog, sleep issues, the depression or anxiety itself!).

A good write-up about what Long COVID is can be found here.  Yes, you
can had a trivial case of COVID-19 and still get Long COVID symptoms for
days, weeks, months, or years.  Some cases of it are somewhat "mild":
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects/index.html

*The bottom-line of the video is right at the end.  For long COVID:
-- Get outside one hour per day.
-- May cover up if sensitive to sun (near UV rays will get through
clothing anyway)
-- Best if in nature (surrounded by green)
-- Do not look directly at sun (duh)
-- May wear a hat (near UV rays will get through clothing anyway)
-- Sitting in a sunny window no longer good enough (most glass now has
to be certified to block the rays we want)

He also promises to talk about how intermittent fasting may help in a
future video.

Roger Seheult, MD is the co-founder and lead professor at
https://www.medcram.com/
He is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Critical
Care, and Sleep Medicine and an Associate Professor at the University of
California, Riverside School of Medicine.  He is also an ER doctor.

Before the pandemic, MedCram mainly seemed to be training for doctors to
pass exams.  Since the start of COVID, Dr. Seheult has done occasional
more accessible videos for the general public on COVID-related topics.

To actually understand why something this simple may help -- and listen
to some research, please watch:

NYU Information for Practice puts out 400-500 good quality health-related research posts per week but its too much for many people, so that bot is limited to just subscribers. You can subscribe at @PsychResearchBot

Example of brainfog: Me reading post in my Home thread and thinking "I like that post. I should follow that person. Let me go check their bio." Then realizing it is my Home feed. I follow these people.

Then immediately repeat the process 2 more times.

https://herbalremedies.one/best-natural-magnesium-formula-full-spectrum How to Sleep Soundly and wake up refreshed. 90% of people are magnesium deficient (full spectrum magnesium, specifically) that leads to insomnia, restless leg syndrome, anxiety, overthinking, muscle cramps and overheating. If you toss and turn most nights with insomnia, have headaches, anxiety and overthinking, restless leg syndrome, brittle bones, poor circulation, brain fog and painful joints you are probably deficient in natural magnesium. Full spectrum magnesium works to correct the imbalance between calcium and magnesium in your brain and body. Most people have too much junk calcium that is causing these problems. Full spectrum magnesium will be greatly helpful! #magnesium #insomnia #sleep #brainfog #anxiety

I have been stung twice by nettles today, including on my forehead. Worst part it was the same nettle and my brain forgot to remind me of it.

Acute blood biomarker profiles predict cognitive deficits 6 & 12 months after #COVID19 hospitalization

https://shorturl.at/hoQT0

Prospective & separate retrospective studies

Revealed 2 distinct dimensions linking acute blood biomarkers & post-acute #cognitive deficits.” “findings regarding the first dimension of covariation might reflect a combination of hypercoagulable state & the direct effects of #fibrinogen on the brain”

@brunomiguel YASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! living it. I called a wall clock a sky calendar the other day #BrainFog

In the last five minutes I have kicked my shin into a chair, spilled my tea, dropped all my cut veg on the floor, and stuck my thumb in my tea instead of grabbing it like a normal person.

At this point I think I need to be wrapped in bubble wrap with a beer can hat sipper thingy full of smoothies on my head. And just not move or touch anything.

Serum ferritin level during hospitalization is associated with Brain Fog after #COVID19

“We investigated the symptoms of Brain Fog after #COVID_19 among patients admitted to our hospital via a questionnaire. Patients with #BrainFog 1 month after onset of #COVID 19 had significantly higher peak ferritin levels during hospitalization than those without, & Brain Fog levels were positively correlated with peak ferritin levels during hospitalization"

"This is associated with short-term memory problems, difficulty in multi-tasking or concentration over long periods of time.

As A/Prof. Cysique explains, the best descriptor of #brainfog would be a flu-like physical and mental fatigue lasting months, although with some fluctuations."

“I think when patients go to the doctor's with brain fog, it may be dismissed as a psychological problem. Our study speaks to the contrary, that there is a real biological mechanism behind #longCOVID #brainfog A/Prof. Cysique says.

I wonder how many (more) times I will email something to myself so I don't lose the idea or link, and then be completely surprised to hear a new email notification and go check what it is. The turnaround is less than a minute, and it still gets me. Every time. #email #BrainFog

Friend's startup is looking to interview knowledge workers who have some #neurodivergence and use software tools from at least 5 different vendors to do their job. $100 incentive for those who qualify and complete an interview for this user research study. DM me if interested.

For the purposes of this study, neurodivergence includes #ADHD, #autism, #OCD, #PTSD, #longCOVID, #brainFog, #depression, #anxiety, #migraines, and/or #chronicPain.
