The interferon signal that activates the immunological system, is one of the first things that the covid blocks after it ingresses the cell.
Thus there is not symptoms until after the virus had replicated for a few days, and had obtained advantage.
My strong suspicion is Omicrons #xbb are damaging brain more & now obsessed with #Alzheimer & #dementia not in terms of prevention, but progression signs
This is like watching a car crash in slow motion💔but people all see us merely as a #HennyPenny 🐓😣
I see many posts mocking McConnell for whatever neurological condition he may suffer from.
Mock the man for his party affiliation and his politics. Those criticisms are absolutely valid, and there's more than enough stuff there to mock and criticize.
But keep in mind that some people reading the posts mocking his neurological condition may have a similar condition or are watching a loved one go through it. To them, mocking the medical condition is a kick in the gut
Amen. And I JUST had this conversation with my wife yesterday. While I loathe the man's politics and for what he did to ruin the composition of the SCOTUS, I won't mock his condition.
My father died of something called #LewyBody#Dementia and it was a horrific way to go. It included some of McConnell's symptoms.
I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Not never, not no how.

Surprised to find son having sad feelings right now. Out of nowhere while he was relaxing last hour. Saw mouth quivering and eyes welling with tears. I asked him if he was sad and he is. This is really rare. Maybe 4-6 times a year for brief times. Heartbreaking and also because he doesn’t know why. All I could do was hold his hands and acknowledge. He asked to lie down in bed, so caregiver is with him now in dark, quiet. #Alzheimer#Dementia
@broximar my son has loved all the gaming consoles since Nintendo and Sega. I got him a PS5 for his birthday last summer. Really bad to think about it because he no longer has the dexterity to use the controller. And his #Alzheimer and #Dementia are considerations. Solved! His caregivers play “with him” while he’s propped in bed. Serious #ADHD but focused while playing. Total win for our very disabled guy.
My mother is dealing with memory issues which are almost certainly dementia-related. She also has mobility issues and is a falls risk. She’s 97 and lives independently a few miles away. This thread is about the technology that is helping keep her safe and is reducing our angst.
@Mrfunkedude and I feel for you brother. My girlfriend fell 2 weeks ago, broke her hip, got a partial replacement, dislocated it, they can't get it reset, so now they're going to do a full hip replacement in a few days. 🤮
I don't know how my dad's #dementia would have gone if he had continued to drink. I wonder if he would not have declined as rapidly as he did because of it.
So that makes me wonder if I should absolutely avoid it too. Since helping my dad get sober, I've only had 4 beers, during a particularly long stay in the hospital for my dad. I've avoided it so he can avoid it. I never had the issues he had with alcohol though.

My BS in psychology made it easy to recognize symptoms of prefrontal #dementia at the physical level, eg, circumduction of his right foot as seen in shots of him walking on a golf green or returning to the WH from his helicopter, his right arm raising involuntarily while standing at Arlington Cemetery, and inability to drink from a glass. (Insults to the left cerebral cortex.) The transcript of the Clinton/Trump debate is word salad when he speaks. He was and is cognitively impaired.
Researchers recently investigated the potential health consequences of microplastic exposure on mammals. The mice used in the study began to exhibit behaviors akin to dementia in humans. More from Earth.com: https://flip.it/xmLzFe #Science#Health#Dementia#Brain#Biology
Would you take a drug like this: Common side effects of Briviact include: acute psychosis, balance impairment, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, sedated state, abnormal behavior, abnormal gait, aggressive behavior, agitation, anxiety, apathy, asthenia, ataxia, depressed mood, depression, hallucination, hypersomnia, lacrimation, lethargy, nervousness, nystagmus disorder, paranoid ideation …(Goes on! ) And then:

My son has 8 months in.
Seeing problems behavior/thinking. Only problem: since he has #Alzheimer and #Dementia it’s hard to get doctors to agree something is wrong we can do something about. Easy for them to say increased hallucinations and delusions are just part of dementia. But we are seeing dramatic changes last 3 days that put us in a quandary. This med is a “new” one to replace the original main anticonvulsant he had major side effects from last Fall and was hospitalized for. This is hard. @caregivers
