I saw a neurologist associated with my long covid clinic a couple of months ago. H told me he's been seeing a lot of long covid patients with similar symptoms (brain fog, hand tremors, etc.) to mine. He also said that, if it made me feel better, he could order a lot of tests, but he could almost guarantee that they would all come back "normal". The only viable theory I've heard (so far) is that the virus led to micro clots that block capillaries reducing blood flow to various organs (including the brain).

That’s what I’ve heard too. Trying anything for the microclots? I try over the counter anticoagulants like niacin, beet juice, and dandelion. The hyperbaric chamber helps with that too. In fact, they were monitoring my d-dimer because it was oddly elevated when I started mild hyperbaric therapy. All of a sudden d-dimer was through the roof and my doc panicked and ordered all the clotting tests right away. Oddly, no elevated clot values were found and everything else was fine. She hypothesized that the hyoerbaric chamber was breaking some of the microclots down. The microclots couldn’t be detected, but the byproduct of their decay could be. But who knows. The number of “normal” tests I’ve gotten back despite heart attack symptoms and the inability to walk further than a short way down my driveway is impressive. They even had me see a therapist to be analyzed for anxiety/depression. Also negative 😂😂.
