Face Blindness in Long COVID
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
The "brain fog" commonly seen in various forms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, including Long COVID, has a new twist added to it.
The most prominent symptoms of brain fog have been difficulty with short-term memory, word finding, and word substitution. Episodic disorientation is also common in about 1/3 of people. New research is suggesting that developing difficulty in facial recognition, technically known as prosopagnosia, can also be a part of the cognitive dysfunction.
This can create a good bit of awkwardness and, when severe, may even render people unable to recognize faces of their family members. Fortunately, it is usually milder than this. Albeit still often quite challenging for people.
CDC Says About 20% Get Long COVID
Researches at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have concluded that 1 in 5 adults aged 18 and older have at least one health condition that might be related to their previous COVID-19 illness. That number goes up to 1 in 4 among those 65 and older.
How Much Advil (NSAID) Is Too Much?
With cold and flu season in high gear, many of us are reaching for Advil to quell the aches and pains accompanying illness. Advil is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). But be careful how much you use it, as Dr. T says it's safe for short term use, but risky if it's taken longer for pain management.
