How long has your brother had his symptoms? What are all of his symptoms?
Does your brother have any other medical conditions/diagnoses, treatments, medications, etc.?
Does your brother have high blood pressure? Has he been to a cardiologist, vascular/vein specialist and pulmonologist to check for heart/lung/circulation health? This can affect the brain. The changes in the brain may not necessarily be caused by autoimmune issues and may be vascular/circulation/viral issues.
Did your brother have Covid infection and the shots the last few years?
Does your brother smoke, vape, drink, or do drugs (cocaine/marijuana/heroin) that can negatively affect his heart/lungs/brain? Has he had any abuse of painkillers after an injury? Did he ever have a concussion or accident where he hit his head?

Symptoms since 2021, He has slightly high arsenic in his urine, he has supposed damage to his long thoracic nerve that healed improperly that a shoulder specialist diagnosed him with prior to all of this and said he needed surgery to correct by lifting his scapular, which he has not gotten the surgery yet because we want to figure out the rest of this first.
I am not sure about high blood pressure and no cardiologist or vascular specialists or pulmonologist. He does have trouble breathing - he complains constantly of not being able to take a full breath, and the shoulder specialist said this is because of his sagging scapular - I'm not sure if that's it though considering the full picture - but could be.
He never tested positive for covid, but he was in a household where everyone had covid and my mom showed no symptoms when she got covid, so could have been that he was asymptomatic there. he did get one covid vaccine shot.
He does nicotine by form of zyn and vape. he does not drink or do any drugs - he has smoked marijuana in the past. no painkillers at all. He was a hockey player and did have concussions - I believe one bad concussion, but seemed to heal and was fine for a long while after.
