  1. Symptom: MCAS Brain Fog

    This post comes to you with a reminder that while “Brain Fog,” is an apt descriptor, it should not be used to undermine the severity of the condition.

    “These are fairly identical functional symptoms that people with Long COVID have, to the symptoms that people within a traumatic brain injury have,” says Dr James C Jackson, psychologist specializing on cognitive rehabilitation and Long Covid.

    “Strictly speaking, this is not a traumatic brain injury (TBI) because there’s no external trauma. Which is why if we go down deep, this will be not a TBI that people experience. It would be something called an ABI, the lesser-known cousin of a TBI. Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI) happen often due to internal processes, not external medical processes, inflammation, the 101 other mechanisms that drive these injuries. And when we look at the brains of some Long COVID patients, we see brain damage on MRIs, we see indicators that are not dissimilar from those of people with mild cognitive impairment or a mild TBI.

    Dr Jackson is the author of Clearing the Fog: a book on navigating life with the cognitive and mental health impairments that often accompany Long Covid.

    Quotes from Dr Jackson’s appearance on the Me Myself & TBI podcast, edited for clarity & brevity.

    This is SHOCKING SHIT! At the 16.58 min mark, this #documentary addresses race norming, factoring in the non-existent myth of '#race' when diagnosing players with #cognitiveimpairment who are also racialised as 'black'

  3. New study reveals connection between brain connectivity and cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease - A recent study found a significant correlation between changes in brain connectivity and cognitive impairment in people with Parkinson's disease. This could lead to better understanding and new treatments! #Parkinsons #BrainConnectivity #CognitiveImpairment curedigest.com/science-news/pa

  4. "…an international team looked at various biological signals to estimate brain age in 70-year-olds with no #cognitiveimpairment.

    What stood out from their analysis of 739 people was the importance of vascular (blood vessel) health when it comes to keeping brains looking young. Habits such as regular #physicalactivity, sticking to a #healthydiet, cutting out smoking, and managing #glucoselevels can improve #vascularhealth."

  5. If you have AFib and do not treat
    It could lead to memory decline in defeat
    And a risk of mild cognitive impairment
    Saying no to the AFib won't be a rant
    We should be more mindful and vigilant
    Knowing the symptoms and signs may be instrumental
    To stave off cognitive decline and curtail

  10. @la_marteau @slanderoid @bookstodon This is absolutely true. I’m just not sure that book can be thoroughly enjoyed as an audiobook, unfortunately.

    My #cognitiveimpairment related to #YOPD has progressed to the point where it is difficult for me to read. So, I can empathize.

  11. @passis

    For consideration,

    I have #YOPD, associated #cognitiveimpairment, and #mentalhealth issues. People are warm. Many others have #disability, #mentalhealthissues or #neurodivergent. Another instance spewed racist crap at me within the first week and our admin blocked the person, checked the instanced then added it to our blocklist.

    I joined due to my interest in the #horror. It's a safe space which allows people to focus more on their passion for interests.
