    understanding the underlying cause of these conditions will allow us to develop targeted therapies for patients in the future,” said Prof. Matthew Campbell

    Lets hope so. I imagine they might try medicines to reduce the bleeding and improve healing.

    Anecdotally speaking I had covid a few months before vaccination became available (yay) and had horrible brain fog. I forgot a lot of words and really struggled with finishing sentences, things like that. It did improve but it took about a year. At the same time one of my toes kept swelling up every time my feet got cold and that stopped around the same time my ability to think improved.

    Thanks for sharing a hopeful anecdote about long COVID, they’re few and far between. I’m glad you got better.

    Thank you so much. It was a scary time because I felt like my brain was never going to work again.
