I found out today from testing that I had completed using my doctor's recommendation. I have a brain infection from COVID. He sent me down to Johns Hopkins for some testing. I had three different tests performed last week. I started to become suspicious with all of the typing mistakes I was making and misspelling of words, along with confusion at times. The Neurologist at the hospital told me that there is no name for my condition at this time, but probably will be because others have experienced the same symptoms after having COVID. He gave me a prescription for a steroid and an injection of something. I return in two weeks. Right now, prescribing medication is kind of hit and miss.

This is the reason why I have seldom posted and will continue to do s

Hope you get better soon fella!!
 
Since the COVID 19 was in my sinuses and my fevers as high as 104 for a few days, I was terrified of a brain infection among other things. To this day I swear it ate into my brain as well since I too make all sorts of errors in typing speaking and even judging spaces. My doctor doesn't believe this. I also had high fevers after my 1st vaccine shot for 4 days in a row and Sunday our 2nd is due which is stronger. Now I am worried about my heart since I have cardiomyopathy. Will check with my cardiologist tomorrow.

I can see why you are worried. Johns Hopkins is a good facility. I've missed your posts. Hang in. We are holding you in our thoughts.:love:

Oh, Lewkat, this is worrisome. I suggest you do the things you do which work to calm you. Know that I will be thinking of you and holding you in my thoughts.:love:
 
Just wanted to stop in and say "Hi" to everyone and thank you for your thoughts and kind words. To this point, it has been a battle. Being ill like I am is something that I am not used to. I started taking Hydroxychloroquine twice a day, along with a Medrol Pack, which I think is a steroid. I have been noticing signs of improvement, but I am still occasionally confused as to what I was doing or even where I am at times. Last week, my wife and I went for a ride, She drove, of course, and when we got back home, I asked her why she was stopping here. She looked at me with that deer in the headlights look and said, "Sweetheart, we live here."

The doctors tell my wife more about my condition than they do me. Do you think that's fair?

It probably is fair and you have a solid wife who can handle it.

They probably figure she can relay it. They are likely thinking you may not take it all in or remember. It's ok 911. Let them give her the info and just focus on resting and getting well ok?

Yes it is fair. If she is aware of exactly what your problems are, she is in a better position to help you.
Sorry to hear of your suffering, by the way. I hope you make a full recovery.
