(IANAD) I wonder if any of the neurological symptoms like depression and memory-loss are caused by chronic inflammation following infection. Virus reservoirs are mentioned in the article. Could it be that there are bits of broken up, deactivated virus floating around triggering auto-immune conditions?
- philjohn 6y agoThey mention that in the article. The other interesting point is - chest x-ray and sound are both normal, but someone is still getting breathless which could point to it being more about vascular involvement in many cases - perhaps the blood vessels that are responsible for uptake of oxygen from the lungs are inflamed and not working as effectively.
- sradman 6y ago> I wonder if any of the neurological symptoms like depression and memory-loss are caused by chronic inflammation following infection. Changes in sleep and stress patterns seem like a simpler explanation. The sensation of not being able to breathe can not be positive for either. All of these things, including inflammation, are measurable though a good baseline for what is normal for any given individual is probably rare.
