ET and Covid - Part Two

Now to fun science and talk about Covid. Researchers now have four years of data under their belts. “Long Covid” was originally referred to as brain fog and fatigue that lasts for a long period or is permanent. Well, Long Covid also potentially makes patients shake, even those without Essential Tremor, Parkinson’s or other movement disorders.

On my support group, in ‘23, I noticed a lot of members reporting how their symptoms have increased significantly over the last few years. And positing, was it Covid? Or the vaccine? Without really saying that. We try to deal with science to find a cure or ways to alleviate our tremors. No conspiracy theories. I’m not fear mongering. But like a lot of fellow members, I can attest my essential tremor has ramped up BIG time after the Before Times. Like, life effecting. So, what do the doctors say about Long Covid and Neurological side effects? Could this be making our symptoms worse?
