COVID-19 survivors face significantly higher risks of developing neuropsychiatric conditions, but vaccination reduces these risks over time.
How am I supposed to believe that when I died within a year of getting my first COVID vaccine back in 2021 like I was told I would?
I don't know about you, but I died of blood clots, cancer, heart disease, myocarditis, and a whole bunch of other things several times over now. Must be the eight COVID vaccines I've gotten I guess.
I don't know about you, but everything has been wonderful and perfect since I let the vaccine microchips take over my brain.
It's been terrible for me. My 5G signal still isn't great. At least I have WiFi calling.
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers used a large, binational cohort (total n = 4,731,778) to investigate the short- and long-term associations between SARS-CoV-2 infections and subsequent adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes. They used exposure-driven propensity score matching to compare their samples’ outcomes against the general population and individuals with a non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory infection.
Study findings revealed that COVID-19 survivors were at significantly heightened risk of developing cognitive deficits, insomnia, encephalitis, and at least four other neuropsychiatric sequelae. Specific conditions included Guillain-Barré syndrome (aHR, 4.63), cognitive deficit (aHR, 2.67), insomnia (aHR, 2.40), anxiety disorder (aHR, 2.23), encephalitis (aHR, 2.15), ischaemic stroke (aHR, 2.00), mood disorder (aHR, 1.93), and nerve/nerve root/plexus disorder (aHR, 1.47). Encouragingly, vaccination was observed to attenuate the neuropsychiatric effects of the infection
Shit! Something clicked just now. I've been having trouble sleeping for the better part of a year and thinking back it lines up with an infection. I've tried everything from quitting coffee to banned screens during an evening routine to working out at different times to tire myself out. Nothing helped.
Maybe this is the problem.
Have you seen a sleep doctor? Ive never had COVID and started having trouble sleeping a year ago. TL;DR I have sleep apnea at 34 years old, have a CPAP now.
I haven't, no. I absolutely should, especially given that the problem might be clinical instead of psychological.
Doubt it. There are a billion reasons why you might not be sleeping as well. Getting older is a a big part of it.
