Covid encephalopathy

It's a real thing.

It's why people can have brain fog and depression post covid.

Praying for you and your Dad.

praying for you and your dad.

I will pray for your dad.


I just got over covid myself, both my wife and I, and we still have some issues.



I got it just over ten days ago myself.

I am a Hospitalist.

Those are always difficult to sort through because people over 70 have a number of reasons to develop neurologic issues. A couple of things that might be helpful.

First is it could be both. Some antecedent neurological problem and then Covid on top of that. I have that found checking a prolactin level can help as this is often elevated in Covid encephalopathy. We have found good results from intervenous thiamine anywhere from 100 to 500 mg three times a day. Nurses or more comfortable with the lower doses.

Check a d-dimer as possible sub-dural venous sinus can clot easily in Covid. And also a B12 level is useful because if this is low in people over 70 it can be the cause of dementia and dementia like symptoms.

I’m not trying to offer any treatments or medical advice but only throwing out our experience in the hope that may be something in there could be helpful for your father after reviewed by that your medical team.

had the fog during
- it was soo bad that it would have been unsafe for me to drive

Did he get the clot shot?

Prayers for your dad.....hang in there...

Wow very sorry to hear your dad have these issues

Unlikely to be covid though

I’m getting really tired of people who don’t have a damn clue dispensing medical advice.

FFS. LOOK IT UP!

ANY VIRAL INFECTION CAN CAUSE THIS AS WELL AS MYOCARDITIS AND PERICARDITIS.

Sorry about your dad OP. Please try to focus on living as positively as you can to enjoy your time with him to the maximum.
Make a bucket list of things that you want to do and knock it out.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Sending love to you, I know you’ll come out on top and do what’s best. You’ve found this forum so you obviously have a good head on your shoulders. Our creator will keep you company in the hardest of times.

OP: I used to take L-Ornithine to prevent encephalopathy. Look it up! Encephalopathy has often to do with a poor liver. The brain-liver connection is very real. When you detox the liver, the brain soon follows. It cleared up my severe memory impairment issues. Alzheimer patients also could benefit from checking the liver first. Without a working liver, the brain can't function. Hope this helps you help your dad, somehow.

Prayers for you and your family.

so sad reading this, Ohio chic.

guess he is gettting dexamethasone or something similar to reduce the brain swelling.

my dad had an impressive mediastinal shift - their words, not mine - from a brain bleed secondary to coumadin therapy and a small bump on his head.

surgery removed the blood and the bleed stopped or slowed - he came home and died a few days later. Kidney failure had set in, they had started dialysis in the hospital.

when he was taken from my mother's house for his first dialysis session as an outpatient,

the very kindly dialysis tech or doc called me. My mom probably told them to talk to me.

he said, your father is actively dying.

if we hook him up, he will die.

if we don't dialyze him, he will die.


in all of the mess, these were the first honest and helpful words. I found a nursing home near my mom where he could stay and I stayed too, until he died.

My father was not suffering. He had a period of intense confusion, but no pain.

If it is your father's time, may he pass in his sleep too. May people speak honestly and kindly to you.

you are in my prayers.

Wishing you a lot of strength!

Hope your father will survive!

Prayers up for you and your Dad!

Praying for Gods guidance and healing!

Prayers for you and your dad!

Prayers for you and your dad! Hang in there and don’t let it get you to the point it affects your health.

Prayers for you and your dad
