Hey everyone,
Just recovering from Covid-19 but dealing with some neurological effects. I got weakness in my muscles and twitches, along with tinnitus, and generally still experience some problems here and there. What is weird is that I noticed my anxiety is through the roof lately, I get jittery when I go long periods without eating and I noticed that coffee makes my problems significantly worse. I actually did some research on this topic and found that many people have the same issue with coffee after Covid. They all report feeling jittery and terrible after caffeine. I love coffee and I used to drink several cups per day, so this is very sad for me. I am trying to figure out why this is the case, because it can give a clue to possibly alleviating my other neurological symptoms. What is it about Covid-19 that causes this? Does it affect something at the receptor level, does it modulate neurotransmitters, or is coffee just causing a histamine response?
Also, just a side note that is anecdotal but this is the second time I got covid and ivermectin did help me significantly, especially in preventing lung sequelae. First time I got covid I didn't treat it and I had lung pain for six months, and this time I have no lung pain. But we need something that crosses the BBB, because obviously, Covid does something to the brain and ivermectin does not reach the brain.
Thanks to all of you for the help!
