Anyone Found Help/Explanation for Long Covid Neurological Symptoms?

I understand. I don't drink alcohol, smoke and have to have low salt as well. I can tell a difference for sure when I eat something really salty. I believe that it is inflammation of the brain somehow. The central nervous system. I know there is research going on. Vanderbilt is doing one for a medication called Barcinbab (I think that is the spelling) for Brain Fog. I don't know, except I am tired of all this.

@diverdown1 yes, there are a lot of clinical trials right now and there was research that definitively showed that viral reservoirs exist in many long covid patients - so now they have to determine if it’s latent virus particles/antigens that is constantly putting our immune systems in fight or flight, if that is also linked to inflammation, if the repositories have any responsibility at all, if it just flipped a switch into autoimmune conditions, if the active virus period caused too much damage, etc.
At least we are in a period now where the research seems to be more focused and promising - but I know for many of us, it can’t come soon enough.
