Covid-19 Can Linger In The Brain: Covid Recovery Clinics Can Help

According to a recent report, Covid-19 can linger in the brain

"One of the most common symptoms that patients have is this sensation of brain fog, changes in their cognition," said Fleming."There's even been some reports that patients can have encephalitis or seizures."

Fleming works at one of New Jersey’s clinics, Hackensack Meridian Health's COVID Recovery Center. “I have patients come from not only New Jersey but New York and Pennsylvania just because this is all so very new,” said Fleming. For patients with cognitive issues, like trouble paying attention, focusing or multitasking,"oftentimes we'll do things that are repetitive tasks, and what that does is it helps the brain to rewire," said Fleming."I describe it kind of like how an athlete does a particular motion over and over again until their brain does it automatically."

"We're trying to figure out the physiology and treat the patients at the same time," said Fleming."We're trying to fly the plane as we build it."In the meantime, Fleming said consortiums of physicians across the country have been meeting to figure out the best ways to treat and track long Covid patients.
