Why The Nervous System Is At The Heart of Long Covid | With Dr Hadi Manji

One of the most baffling clusters of symptoms associated with Long Covid is that related to the nervous system. On top of your ‘basics’ like brain fog and headaches, you can also add numbness or tingling, dizziness, changes in taste or vision, muscle weakness and loss of sensory function.

All of these symptoms are a consequence of the way the condition affects your brain and nervous system. But what exactly is going on and what can we do about it?
