DDC warns those getting Moderna jab as booster to seek doctor’s advice

So you haven't had it medically confirmed, then.

 

Even your doctor is saying on this one point that it could be either the vaccine or long Covid. And based on the statistics, it is much more likely to be long Covid. Incidentally, it has been found that even asymptomatic Covid can lead to long Covid symptoms.

 

Post COVID-19 Syndrome in Patients with Asymptomatic/Mild Form

 

As far as I know, plaques in the brain due to Alzheimers can only be confirmed at autopsy.

 

As the article below from the NIH site points out, there is:

 

Which is associated with plaque formation, but:

 

How Is Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosed?

Sorry, the timing for COVID infection doesn't fit. I had symptoms of increasing severity for 8 months before I got Covid....a very mild dose and self diagnosed with testing kits. 

I have used MRI as a general inclusion term for different types of tests, not being an expert in this area. Of course there are CAT scan Pet scans and others. As I understand it, you can diagnose AD from the clinical symptoms and MRI, PET AND other types of scans and together they form a clinical picture. I cannot say for certain which 'MRIs"I had. The first was straight into the tube....the second had an injection prior to it, which (I think) was to look for plaques and possibly narrowed arteries.

As I said at the outset, the neurologist based on clinical symptoms, had several hypotheses. I had specific memory tests, physical ability and balance tests and saw a number of other specialists including a sleep specialist. The conclusions were that it was either early onset Alzheimers (hippocampus and brain were atrophied) or a reaction to the vaccine, and the neurologist said she had seen several of varying intensity and with different inconclusive symptoms. As I understand it, you need a demonstration of spike protein through your body to confirm if the symptoms are due to the vaccine or covid infection (ie long covid) but as I understand it (I am a layman but have read top on the subject). As I say in my mind, the presence of symptoms prior to me getting COVID rules out long COVID. 

I sincerely wish I had got the Chinese vaccine instead of Pfizer which is poison.

You got two what already?

 

Any chance you had 2 Sinovac vaccinations, caught Covid, and now have Long Covid?

No I had two Pfizer jabs....caught COVID later....but the symptoms started long before I got COVID

While I was in for treatment of something completely different I just asked at the BHP if I could have a booster (my 5th Covid vaccination). Got it right away - Pfizer bivalent.

The answer is yes. I have had it medically confirmed insofar as one can. I saw a top neurologist at Bumrungrad and had a two MRIs there. There were 5 possibilities according to her....one was a stroke (ruled out by the MRI); one was long COVID or vaccine issue; third was early onset Alzheimers but unlikely as there are no plaques in the brain; forth was blockages in the arteries of the brain (again MRI confirmed this not to be the case); and the fifth is OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) which I have had for 20 years already, and so doesn't really fit with the timing for the onset of the symptoms. I bought a new CPAP machine to be on the safe side (60,000 baht).

 

The neurologist offered some more advanced tests (very expensive) for spike protein and the like...but given there is no effective treatment, I declined to have these as I pay out of my own pocket. What use is it to have the diagnosis and not any treatment.

 

I treat it myself with NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) which I read about on the internet....again I have not derived any significant benefit from the combined use of a better CPAP and the NAC.

 

My life has been destroyed at the age of 65.  

 

 

It sounds like a top neurologist said it could be long COVID unless I am misreading your post. Also it could be your sleep apnea and just a coincidence about the timing or early onset Alzheimers but not confirmed that it was the vaccine which made you sick.

 

So you have not confirmed it was the vaccine and it is quite possible it is asymptomatic COVID which turned into long COVID is this correct?

 

I am very sorry to hear that the NAC is not significantly making you better; and since you are taking it with the better CPAP it is quite possible that the better CPAP is helping you somewhat and that apnea is your problem. So in summary a number of unconfirmed possibilities if I understand you correctly...

Asymptomatic Covid at the outset best fits the description of the symptoms.
