Subscribed, Much respect for promoting good mental health and providing excellent knowledge from experts like Dr Amen👍🏼👍🏼 Neurologists ftw, they straight cut through the usual 'wellness' fogformation. More long form neurologist chats Jim, you have so many topics to deep dive with them
After 2 covids, I noticed my brain abilities and overall condition have worsened. Brain fog, constant fatigue (mental and physical), low energy, lack of interest in everything, much shorter attention span.. Sometimes I need to think harder to form coherent response in conversations. Covid has affected us way worse than we could imagine.
Exactly my story. I have had some success with fasting over a couple of days at a time to get my mind clearer. And then, of course, making sure I watch salt on my diet as it triggers inflammation as we know. I have had chronic vertigo as well. I met with my neuro occupational therapist who is absolutely the top in her Field and she said she has seen countless patients come in of all ages, including children with vertigo issues, and brain fog and everything you can imagine after Covid. She had one patient that went to have a scan done with a neurologist and the doctor didn't mince words and said you have encephalitis that was induced by Covid. So it is a real thing. This gentleman has had some success with an SSRI to help bring down the inflammation. So this video we just watched is spot on.
Same story here…. I’m really worried abt my post covid affect on my brain, I’m not able to speak properly for what I thought of in my mind and also i can’t able to remember so basic things…. If anyone can suggest me some tips that may helps me , then it will be so helpful for me
I take .... Lions Man mushroom, Magnesium L-Threnoate, B-1 Benfotiamine, Omega 3, chlorophyll. Himalayan liver care. Wheatgrass tablets. I have been on this regimen since I had Covid last year. I am much better now It helps recover. 😊
1. Omega 3 2. High dose vitamin c 3. High dose vitamin d (get levels to 80-100 which is high normal) 4.qcertin 5.circumin 6. Eat healthy 7. Green plants in diet 8. Rest 9. Hyperbaric chamber. It decreases inflammation and increases oxygen to the brain. 10. Ssri or do things that boost serotonin.
@@michaelchadwick2254 I am curious what other ailments you think have been invented. I am glad that apparently you and no one you love has been afflicted with cognitive issues post Covid, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening to people.
@@2003stephlg In order to experience ANYTHING at all on ANY level of the so-called "human" experience it must first enter through Consciousness. We aren't alive because the so-called "body" functions. The body functions because we are alive. Understand? All human theories are upside down and must forever remain contradictory because so-called human "life" is not Life. It's only the outward material manifestation of what we hold in Conciousness......whatever (through false education) we believe to be true.
@@michaelchadwick2254 Is this in alignment with Joe Dispenza's training? It seems like it may be. Okay, this definitely gives me something to ponder. Thank you for your response.
I had covid unvaccinated. While my 15yo step daughter recovered after a bit of a sniffle and cough in two day, my 45 yo partner recovered fully in three days and never looked back, I , at 69 yo at the time, had three days of fever and biting upper leg pain, I continued to suffer from nausea and acute brain fog for another two weeks - ok, so far quite common, but on the 17th day I did a full Chinese medicine de-tox that included acupuncture, reflexology and a detox foot bath electronically connected to key meridians. I was 100% again the next day and my immunity is top shelf. De-toxing is the key to a full recovery.
I am a nurse who has suffered from headaches and brain fog 1+ year post covid. Recently on one of my channels there was a discussion on nootropics and I decided to try a nootropic that was discussed. I have been using BROMANTANE for a month and it has changed my life. I now feel like I can go back to work and not kill a patient due to forgetfullness. I know its experimental but it has really worked for me. It's worth looking at if you are getting so depressed over your condition that ending it all starts to plague you. I wish they would do more studies on this. A new disease needs new avenues of medication.
Dr. Amen is an amazingly proactive, reflective, intelligent, compassionate, and intuitive psychiatrist who can look at your brain scan and tell you your specific behavioral problems before you open your mouth! I highly recommend Dr. Amen for sorting out, often complex and confusing, emotional issues caused by your patterns of brain activity.
But he is not a Long Covid expert - he recommended exercise- which has been proven to create more inflammation and brain and organ damage in Long Covid patients.
Thank you so much for addressing this issue. I have been googling brain fog post covid since I recovered from the illness because my brain literally feels like there is "sludge" in it. I'm looking forward to reading this book.
It damages mitochondria, and that will make thinking clearly difficult because damaged mitochondria = poor energy production. So if you work on healing your mitochondria you can restore your energy and then get your brain back!
Psilocybin mushrooms made a huge difference to symptoms of brain fog for me. Don't need a lot to "wake up" which is the problem I had. A persistent feeling of not being awake. Did that a few days ago, and it seems to have stuck. I am not 100% but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Interesting I would like to try mushrooms, my doc gave Mr prednisone for 5 days, worked great but now it's brain fog and some depression, I don't feel like myself, nothing really tastes that good, I don't even enjoy a glass of wine 😢 I'm starting to take D, &B, zinc, cod liver oil. Also I heard quercetin, and NAC were good, going to try
the cognitive disfunction and/or brain fog was the worst of my symptoms far worse than the diarrhea that forced me to call 911. They were both awful, the diarrhea led me to death's door paired with kidney failure, but the brain for too way longer to resolve and was very frustrating. I could not remember how to work my ipad amd it was 2 weeks before I figured out how to get back online to watch news, movies, etc. It was a very boring period and was so happy when bits&pieces of my memory began returning, I could open my safe and my ipad and finally remembered my cell phone number. It was absolutely crazy those 2-3 weeks of lost memory.
My ADD symptoms seem to have increased since Covid. I also go through phases where I sleep a lot, then I can’t sleep at all. I’m also more sensitive to temperature changes.
I got Covid a month ago. I feel so lazy and unmotivated. I get bad thoughts, and scared. I have to stop myself. I take fish oils and vitamin D every day. I get stressed, sad. I feel upset a lot. It’s a daily struggle. 😜
Thank you once again Dr Omole on RU-vid for this information. Since following you (for some years now), my kidney stage results has decrease from stage 3 to stage 1. You saved me from dialysis. Thank you and please keep the videos coming!! God Bless..
I have it all what you are mentioning! Its going to be two years since the last time I was sick. What bothers me the most is feeling like Im not the same health wise prior to before getting sick. I have always suffered from depression and Anxiety. After getting sick the Anxiety came in full force! I had gained control over my anxiety ten years or so ago. Today its out of control. Its more than the brain being affected. Honestly no one knows they are all guessing. Those that may know are those who caused this disease. Is the book free? Please Im very capable Ive fulfilling myself. I'll give you a real solution that has helped me to get through time in my life and has improved my symptoms and now that I think about it? Im going to be more vigilant in my asking. I pray and ask God to heal me ,help me, to watch over me and make me better and well again. I give him thanks and Praise and ask that he protect me from the evil in this world. It works for me.
Amen hallelujah 🙏only god can heal us am going through the same with my memory and fog I ask god everyday for healing ❤️🩹 and he will in his time not mine’s we just have to have faith in him sister blessings to you and your family 🙌🙌🙏🙏😇😇
Thank you for this video, I have noticed the damage to my brain. I’ll be getting these vitamins soon. I have been taking chlorophyll and mushroom multi pills.
Had Covid back in 2020... a few months ago i started feeling like i had covid again.. breathing issues.. sharp pains throughout my body.. pressure in my head.. constantly dizzy.. sharp pains in a lot of place... it's driving me crazy..
Lost my job due to this a couple months ago and I didn't know what was going on from me. I felt the worst brain fog I ever felt, my covid symptoms went away but for 2 months my brain was so effected I couldn't go back to work.
Had Covid a year ago, just as I was to enter 3 year cognitive eval of aging brain. My brsin function changed so rapidly. I dropped the study. I just want yo get back to where I was.
My brain has never been the same since I had the 2020 Covid. 2.5 years later I got hit with another one. Brain fog, unable to think, poor concentration. I did a cognitive test and I got really scared at my score...and I am young.
I was born with Autism knowledge was so easy for me to obtain since I recovered from covid it's like a door has been shut and locked parts of my brain feel like I can no longer access the knowledge I have and every day I feel like I am slipping away this feeling is truly terrifying I no longer sleep when I go to bed I just lay there all night with my mind racing but unable to understand what my mind is thinking after watching your video I have gained some insight in the road I face going forward. But I fear that the knowledge that I learned is lost to me forever if anyone out there is experiencing this and has overcome it have you retained the knowledge that you thought you had lost
It took me three months to recover from caffeine symptoms people that I talk to that are still using caffeine tell me that I talk too slow. you cannot have a rational conversation with someone drugged out on caffeine it seems like whatever they have to say is more important than anything you say and if you try to butt into the conversation you are a part of you are met with hostility and anger
My employer required the "jab" and I've experienced a variety of symptoms following my J&J jab and subsequent booster. Now, the FDA has revoked their emergency vaccination status, and no one is talking about COVID vaccination anymore. I am a Kaiser patient and was not given the Pfizer or Moderna option. 😷
It's a struggle just to get a brain mri. I am almost three years in and suffer from chronic muscle fasciculations syndrome, myoclonus, and now chronic insomnia. Plus other mental health problems. I'm at a loss because there's nothing they can do. In top of that, I now have fibromyolgia due to no deep sleep, which was shown in my sleep study
You can and will heal yourself, it's just bs... (brain symptoms) it's all 1 thing. Healing chronic pain the pain pt/youtube is good too... And check out Alan Gordon's book(the way out) your system is just overprotective... And then it's snowballs.
I still do not have my smell and taste back after having this in September 2021. Unfortunately, I got the nasal swab in the very beginning that went all the way up. Is there help to figure this out?
I'm on 7 day selfie quarantined...and yes the biggest concern of my is mind fog and lack of focus and..and im struggle to pay attention to my work tasks as I'm just under probation for clinic assistant jobs and it's really stressed me out as im needed to memorize all the medications....
I'm having the same issue. I'm supposed to be writing a dissertation and haven't progressed at all since I got sick. Exercise helped me a lot, even really gentle exercise as soon as you're able or stretching and deep breathing. Another thing that helped is anti-inflammatory foods and teas, especially foods with capsacin (sp.?) like peppers and tulsi tea.
I have ADHD and one drug they tried me on when they thought I had some mild depression was Luvox. It caused extreme fatigue and sexual dysfunction. Horrible. Never again.
I think SSRIs are more harmful than helpful. I've also had significant side effects when I've tried them - and unfortunately those side effects impact those very areas that I'm wanting to restore - sexual and emotional blunting primarily...
I had covid phenomena and was in the hospital for 11 days on oxygen. I had covid long haulers and brain fog. I took Ivermectin for 7 days and 2,000 mg of NAC and i no longer have any symptoms. In fact my lumgs feel great. I never took the jab
I have had some virosis one month ago and after I was seemigly OK i started to have trouble with my brain and vision. I feel like I am drugged. I can barely function at home and I cant go to work. I am now trying to eat loads of vitamins and curcumin. In the past Curcumin miraculously cured me after 5 years of fatique syndrom after mononucleosis. I hope this time it will work again :(
After mild covid , started experiencing below symptoms about 3 months after which incresed day by day 1 - head pressure on simple movements like walking feeling as if I may fall 2 - Extreme Insomnia - could not sleep or barely managed to sleep for few hours in the night , insomnia continued for 6 months 3 - uncontrollable anxiety , hunger to such extent that if i did not eat I , I felt as if I may become hypoglycaemic 4 - depression associated with insomnia which made my day time feel like hell, always sleepy during daytime , even i felt extremely tired still I could not sleep 5 - extreme sensitiveness of skin , simple tasks like bathing gave shivers and palpitations 6 - swallowing food issues , made my hunger symptom more scary 7 - Continuous anxiety as stated in above comments , small teiggers were enough to trigger anxiety symptoms I am on medication since past 9 months , and started to feel better with symptoms reducing day by day
I had the same, what is your age? I had also tinitius. Lost smell for 1.5 years. All of these symptoms started to go only after 1.5 years. It takes time
You need to treat inflammation. I had terrible fatigue, brain fog, memory cognitive issues after covid. I'm Still recuperating. New doctor treated me with I meg solumedrol IV steroid. Within hours of treatment the pressure I felt on top of my head lifted. Several days later I could think clearer my short term memory lapses improving. My fatigue also is much better. I nap once or twice a week once a day. Not every day twice or three times. Why do doctors ignore treating brain inflammation. It is documented on MRI scans. They know it's there but don't treat it. I thank God I finally found a doctor who treated it. Look for doctors who will give corticosteroids to treat long term covid inflammation. This is what causes long covid!
A lil over 1 year ago, I had bad covid. I couldnt eat normal fir months, I dropped 40 plus pounds ( great) . I ended up in hospital for accute respitory illness fir a month, no ventlator. After I was released ,my lungs were still damaged. But I never had a lot of coughing ,almost no phlegm to spit in the lil tube so how did it damage my lungs?? Ok well a year later now. Gained all the weight back ( dang). But this whole past year of being over covid, i feel like a lil bit of an idiot. I started a job as a school bus driver i had a aid on the bus thank God. I was in a new state VA now but was a life long PA resident until shortly before I hot covid. I couldnt ,for the life of me, could not remember 5 stops and how to get to them arghh i say its because there is no map of Madison County,VA but i blame covid and whatever little quirks it did to my brain. Guess Im lucky. But is what ive noticed now about my vrain from covid? I was a bus driver 20 years in PA and then 8-9 years a truck driver.
After SARS COV2 infection I see in perifereal blood tendency of erytrocyte to aggregate like coin rolls, even before coagulation. That can explain an increase of blood viscousity that can also damage capillary blood flow. May be ,,low tissue temperature,,also occur after SARS COV2 infection? May be N -acetilcysteine decrease blood viscosity induced by high amount of some antybody?
I had my world turned upside down because of the symptoms of post covid . Brain fog , memory loss, total mental breakdown. I started using escitalopram,amytryptillin and olanzapine and it has brought my life back on track in 4 months not fully but partially. I need to add one medicine for inflammation as well. Thank you all
Are these effects being experienced by those who took the injection? The only sick people that I know in my social circles are the ones who took the injection onto their bodies.
Have had 4 covid shots including boosters. Reactions, sore arm, swelling of arm around injection site and tiredness. Usually lasts around 3 days. Seems to be less for boosters.
I got COVID in 2021 and after no long Covid help all year I ended up on Klonopin for the past 9 months so I have exec function deficit and a benzo addiction Help
I've had brain dysfunction since COVID that's worsened, but didn't realize it was due to COVID until now. The intensity of the dysfunction comes and goes. The last three days were not good. NONE of my doctors or nurses have ever heard of quercetin. How are they supposed to help me? My psychiatrist told me to do crossword puzzles, etc. The same exact advice he gave me for my post concussion syndrome. I believe I have ADD as well. My therapist agrees. My psychiatrist doesn't acknowledge that it's even a possibility. None of my friends are into healthy eating, so I've basically been trying to get through this with the Lord. Also learning about foods, supplements, etc. But nothing I've read or watched has mentioned a link to COVID until now and one other podcast that came up with this one. I only had mild COVID. My friend got it at the same time. She was incapacitated for 2-3 months. She's been perfectly fine since then. At least I finally have some answers and a place to begin a different avenue of research. TYVM!!
The COVID 19 Pandemic caused excessive anxiety and hopelessness, while it did good to us in many ways. People have realised more realistically they will have to die sooner or later so that how to treasure life is important. Also, they realised minding a small stuff means nothing in life. Expanding the worldview is relaxing.
I feel the same. I can't think clear, have problems with multitask, attention, and my memory is getting worse and worse. I can't learn new things like before. How about your symptoms?
Brain fog, attention and learning problems and mental fatigue. So i change my diet and listen to frequencies that are good for the brain constantly, particularly binaural beats and decrease mental activities
Can you please go deeper into discussing parosmia? If this is a brain condition and can be cured by clean diet as he says, but you can’t have clean diet since everything smells and tastes like rotten garbage, what does one do?
I had a mild covid in 2021 (fatigue loss of smell and taste etc), I thought it was over but last week I woke up with a strong headache, brain fog/memory loss, smell loss and taste alteration. Today I am good but the brain fog and fatigue are still present. How can I make it stop?
get blood test to make sure everything is good, fix any that aren't. People were sun deprived for month you body takes time to build back the NATURAL vitamin D. then winter we got no sun, people inside all day is bad. the sun gives you everything, it brings your libido up it brings your mood up. we live thru the sun. needed for your bones. funny in the winter I feel like an old man my joints hurt and im 30. when its summer almost no pain. get that sun if you could stand outside for 30 mins in the morning or past the peak of high uv naked let the sun hit you. take probiotics I like PB8. eat better, sleep better. get off the news or media it shows a negative of the world. it makes me sad that there is war and people lost everything after the pandemic, it makes me sad that the government's sit and let the drugs stay in the streets, im talking a bout the ones that rot you and you overdose on it Easy and die. they just sit and collect money on the loss of human beings. but separate yourself from the world. Mentally, after covid I have fear of what if I get it again, what it we get a deadlier version 5 years from now. but I say im here to experience it. I just have to fill my life with positives. work on a goal. Continuous improvement, always fix one thing on your car a month see how it runs and feels after a year. its baby steps. plus we aren't meant to be working and paying all that we pay. we have to find ways to become unique. imagine a world where everyone was positive and we all became better and better. do that for your world.
Take a full dose of; Triple Magnesium every day. It may not be a cure for Covid19 brain fog, but, it will give you the best mood and outlook on the future, and most people are deficient in Magnesium anyway. Now, on with the rest of the story!!! Brother James Kendall Moore OSB OFS OSC ✝️
I agree booster shots helped me with my long covid symptoms especially brain fog. Also helped with feelings of pressure in my ears which was my other long covid symptoms .
I have had severe long covid (actually post vac, but what the heck), lying in bed/on the sofa 24 hours a day, feeling as if I were over 100 years old etc (luckily emotionally stable). What is ironic is that I edit a scientific journal. I therfore knew exactly what NOT to expect from the health system and that I had to find my own way out of this mess. So I experimented a lot. Apart from the things mentioned in this video (!), my most sucessful measures have been: playing the clarinet (a C instead of a Bb clarinet is less heavy; normalizes breathing), cold showers (strengthens vagus nerve; increases blood circulation etc.) and qi gong (similar effects). I am back at work now and still spend about 2 hours per day doing these three things. It is all hard work, but it has zero side effects and it is worth it.

@@grooveT3K I live in Poland. I really didn't get any shot because I was scared. My friend got 2 shoots and got cov anyway and also suffer with brain fog and fatigue. So that's not the vaccines but persistent neuroinflammation activated by virus.
