Covid Can Raise Risk of Developing 44 Neurological Disorders, Incl. Alzheimer's, New Study Suggests

[Martin Eden]

6. I came down with Covid the day after my 65th birthday, 4 weeks ago

I'm double vsxxed & double boosted. It started as a cough, not too bad ar first. The chest congestion kept me up the next night, as I tend to hack that gunk up and spit it out. Since then it's been like a chest cold gradually getting better but not entirely gone four weeks later. My energy level is down a little, but otherwise pretty normal.

The potential ongoing covid effects really concern me, especially Alzheimers. My parents passed away in their 60's so there's no history there, but my aunt suffered from it terribly beginning in her mid-80's. I don't have the sharpest memory and feel like I sometimes briefly lose track of where I'm going and why (this pre-dated covid), though my ability to do my job (fairly technical and conceptual) is not impaired.

Damn this insidious disease! I'm hoping to retire in less than two years and looking forward to enjoying what remains of my life afterwards with traveling and hiking. I fear this pernicious virus will take that away from me and millions of others.
