Long COVID and dealing with Strokes: Anyone else?

Posted by hnickol @hnickol, Jan 25, 2022

I had Covid in November of 2020. Suffered with long covid since. I had a stroke at 10 months out. I am 41 and was 'healthy' until this hit. I recently had Omnicron and 7 days later another stroke. I have been reading about how covid attacks blood vessels and the lining in the brain. Anyone else have similar situation or have read any treatment options?

He is 35 years young and he was vented and in an induced coma for 3 days in the Nero ICU until they started him on 1000mg of steroids and 5 plasma transfers over a period of 10 days. He’s home now and will follow up with his neurologist Tuesday. He had a spinal tap and they did over a 100 lab test. Everyone has come back negative so far. Waiting on 12 more to come back. Protein count is slightly high and high white count. We are praying it will disappear as fast as it came on.

I know you just want this to go away, but while the docs are trying to find both cause and solution, I would hesitate before introducing any supplements, or herbal treatments unless his doctors knew about them and approved.

There are so many ailments that are still a mystery (some Covid-related, others that are not) that it often takes a great deal of research and consultation to find answers and treatments. It sounds like he is being well treated so far.
