It seems to be linked to the COVID spike protein, which has been found lingering around in all cells for many months after a COVID infection, including in neurons, and may be causing long term inflammation-like reactions.
There are experiments undergoing for medication that could clean out those spike proteins from the whole body. Hopefully that might fix some of it.
Anything that persists long term after an infection is long COVID. It’s the same concept for other viral infections.
Sure, but what is that? Neural damage? Inflammation? Lingering viral load? Weakened immune system? Immune system over excitability?
We don’t know. That’s the only good answer.
Neurological damage seems to be a strong contender for the bulk of long COVID symptoms though.
I remain grateful that I am still a novid, or if I have had it, I’ve had no symptoms and no noticeable long term problems from it

My friend has neural symptoms and gastrological symptoms, also they’re very tired, much more than before Covid.
