A UCSF doctor shares a new study about what may be causing long-term side effects in COVID survivors, many of whom experience prolonged brain fog.
A Bay Area virologist appears to have discovered the root cause of COVID-19 long haulers.
Hellmuth says the spinal fluid abnormalities were found in study participants of all ages, with differing degrees of infection severity, all unvaccinated before developing the cognitive impairment. One interesting finding: the more health risk factors someone has, the more likely they are to experience COVID brain fog. One promising finding is that no participant's conditions worsened over time, although it's too soon to tell whether symptoms may spontaneously disappear. It's hoped that this and further studies will help develop effective treatments for COVID brain fog.
