Can it be treated? Does it heal?
Lets hope so. I imagine they might try medicines to reduce the bleeding and improve healing.
Anecdotally speaking I had covid a few months before vaccination became available (yay) and had horrible brain fog. I forgot a lot of words and really struggled with finishing sentences, things like that. It did improve but it took about a year. At the same time one of my toes kept swelling up every time my feet got cold and that stopped around the same time my ability to think improved.
Thanks for sharing a hopeful anecdote about long COVID, they’re few and far between. I’m glad you got better.
Thank you so much. It was a scary time because I felt like my brain was never going to work again.
I really empathize from nearly 5 years of gut dysfunction and related autoimmune issues. Healing felt like a miracle.
Yikes that sounds awful.
