Whether the brain is damaged from a hit to the head like w/ concussion or damaged from a viral or bacterial infection, the edema/inflammation can cause strikingly similar symptom presentation in many patients, eg sensory overload/intense focus causing nausea + vomiting #LongCOVID

From the beginning of the pandemic it’s something that has stood out from patient reports. High functioning people saying they can’t read. That sound, light, movement *hurts* them now. That they need to take cognitive breaks or very slow processing. #pwME #LongCOVID #PICS #Lyme
And I learned how poorly we actually care for patients after concussion. How very little we have to offer them from a medical perspective, especially those whose symptoms linger.
As we learn more about the various ways the brain can be damaged, I hope we find better ways to heal
