    2. @NBA1 , I am simply wonderfully hungry and hope you, NBA, and others reading my comment at the very top, also have a healthy appetite too. So how are you ?

    3. @NBA1 , your not being able to reply appropriately over the past 60 seconds since being greeted here means, NBA, you’re #StatCOVID19Test **positive** indicating that it’s possible you’re unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic) needing to call your doctor and to self-quarantine per CDC guidelines.

  2. Dealing with neuromuscular disease and post Covid brain fog. After first round of Covid took 16 min to win solitaire when I got it in 3.5 minutes before sick. After second Covid round was much quicker to get to 5min. But this time harder to find some words and thoughts don’t flow. Very frustrating

  3. Always good to hear your thoughtful and logical analysis. I don’t care about bullish or bearish market. Trade a small percentage of your portfolio rather than going in and out every couple weeks trying to time the market trading went smooth for me as I was able to raise over 8.4 BTC when I started at 3 BTC in just few weeks implementing Richard daily signals and tips..

  4. It’s changed my life. I am not the same person I was. I started this channel to keep practicing my speech because I started with a stutter. Most things have improved except for the headaches, not a day has passed in over 2 years that I haven’t woke up with a crippling headache, no medication works.

    2. @Truth Warrior Sir. I experienced what you’re claiming doesn’t exist, and still suffer every day of my life. You’re delusional to tell *me* it doesn’t exist or I have/had any underlying health issues. I guarantee you watch Fox news 💯

  6. Seeing video games provide a form of aid and treatment for people really is interesting to me. As someone who enjoys video games, a treatment like this could definitely help a lot of people with memory problems and other cognitive disorders retain information and recover faster.

    2. I love video games, but I’m horrible at the complicated button pushing. Can’t even do Red Dead Redemption & I want to play it so badly! I need a 13 yr old friend to help me.

    1. Same – I know its a good day when my coffee smells like cat pee – at least I can smell it…. might dump it, but I can smell it! (sort of!)

  11. Watched my Dad go through Alzheimers and this is very similar, but sudden. Cooking recipes also helps. Music helps. Talking helps. The full-body vibrations may be mini clots associated. Science is catching up at last. Long way to go

  12. I had COVID last month and I had that brain fog and it was a bit concerning, but I play video games so I assume that’s the reason why it went away so quickly. But now the nerves on my right side of my body hurt so this explains a lot.

  13. There are also subsets of those that seek to design life around illness & those trying to move beyond. For the latter, don’t allow doctors to dump u in long COVID category. Just know there are variations in recovery, that sadly are not being covered in the black & white press & medical field.

    2. @Zebulon Crawford I’m not zombie like. One thing I learned and wonder to how many victims it applies. The corticosteroids in Symbicort and similar medicines that are prescribed for our breathing problems can destroy white matter in the brain. I’m doing better since I stopped. My TCM acupuncture treatments, combined w/diuretic meds for my blood pressure have helped the fluid around my lungs. So even without symbicort, my breathing is better. And my thinking is more clear

  15. I’ve had fibromyalgia and dysautonomia and neither caused the cognitive issues that long covid did. So what’s the name of the video game? Did I miss it because I have a hard time paying attention? 😆

  16. I remember when my SM support group for Long-haulers was shut down because, yanno, “disinfo”. We early presenters deserve an apology for the year we spent in misery while being told it was all in our head.

    1. They said the same about us with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome which also have body pain, nerve pain, brain fog, irritable bowel syndrome, orthostatic hypotension etc. Some still do.
