Hello friends,
I’ve recently caught COVID, and this is Day 4 for me. My main concern at the moment is the notable decline in my brain function. My presenting symptom was an incredible headache which led me to initially believe that I’ve caught meningitis instead of COVID. It felt like brain was under heavy attack. In fact I still experience random episodes of dizziness and mild vertigo, difficulty in speaking and writing, and comprehending texts. Language has always been my forte’ and I feel sad at the thought of losing it in any shape or form…perhaps I’m being irrationally afraid here. I do hope so.
I noticed today that I find it very difficult to hold a conversation (to just speak and conjure up proper sentences, really) and to comprehend written texts. I’m not very well-versed in the world of neuroscience so I would really appreciate some guidance. Perhaps fields that stimulate or repair the Broca’s area/the Wernicke’s area would help me?
When I get back to work I’ll have to take care of patients as a health care worker and I just can’t envision doing my usual tasks with a slow and compromised brain Perhaps I just need to be fearless and patient for now, but I would love to use fields to speed up the healing process anyhow.
I really look forward to suggestions. Have a blessed day/evening.
