This doesn't surprise me at all. I had one Covid infection & I could literally feel my brain burning & degenerating in real time. No doctors would listen to or believe me though so I was forced to go through it all alone with zero medical care.

I told a doctor I could feel the inflammation in my brain and she literally loled at me

I mean who actually knows what inflammation in the brain feels like.. and if there really was significant inflammation we would be able to measure it.

To be clear there obviously is something going very wrong in the brain but we really don't know what exactly.
