Neurocovid tidbits from the annual neurology conference. Standing room only for this lecture.

But despite lots of viral particles in the nasal mucosa multiple brain biopsy studies show no viral particles in brain.

In 2015 I didn’t feel well. I’m a neurologist. I knew something was not right. I was told I was stressed, anxious, and overworked. I was but I knew that wasn’t what was going on. My neuro exam was normal and my labs were normal. I was told repeatedly I didn’t need imaging.
I felt even worse over a year and cried to an internist I knew and asked her to order an MRI. This is what it looked like and many docs couldn’t believe I didn’t have focal deficits or seizures.
