How COVID-19 might increase risk of memory loss and cognitive decline - Published Aug 7, 2024
Of all frightening ways that the SARS-COV-2 virus affects the body, one of the more insidious is the effect of COVID-19 on the brain.
It is now clear that many patients suffering from COVID-19 exhibit neurological symptoms, from loss of smell, to delirium, to an increased risk of stroke. There are also longer-lasting consequences for the brain, including myalgic encephalomyelitis /chronic fatigue syndrome and Guillain-Barre syndrome.
These effects may be caused by direct viral infection of brain tissue. But growing evidence suggests additional indirect actions triggered via the virus’s infection of epithelial cells and the cardiovascular system, or through the immune system and inflammation, contribute to lasting neurological changes after COVID-19.
I am a neuroscientist specializing in how memories are formed, the role of immune cells in the brain and how memory is persistently disrupted after illness and immune activation. As I survey the emerging scientific literature, my question is: Will there be a COVID-19-related wave of memory deficits, cognitive decline and dementia cases in the future?
The immune system and the brain Many of the symptoms we attribute to an infection are really due to the protective responses of the immune system. A runny nose during a cold is not a direct effect of the virus, but a result of the immune system’s response to the cold virus. This is also true when it comes to feeling sick. The general malaise, tiredness, fever and social withdrawal are caused by activation of specialized immune cells in the brain, called neuroimmune cells, and signals in the brain.
These changes in brain and behavior, although annoying for our everyday lives, are highly adaptive and immensely beneficial. By resting, you allow the energy-demanding immune response to do its thing. A fever makes the body less hospitable to viruses and increases the efficiency of the immune system. Social withdrawal may help decrease spread of the virus.
In addition to changing behavior and regulating physiological responses during illness, the specialized immune system in the brain also plays a number of other roles. It has recently become clear that the neuroimmune cells that sit at the connections between brain cells (synapses), which provide energy and minute quantities of inflammatory signals, are essential for normal memory formation.
Unfortunately, this also provides a way in which illnesses like COVID-19 can cause both acute neurological symptoms and long-lasting issues in the brain.
During illness and inflammation, the specialized immune cells in the brain become activated, spewing vast quantities of inflammatory signals, and modifying how they communicate with neurons. For one type of cell, microglia, this means changing shape, withdrawing the spindly arms and becoming blobby, mobile cells that envelop potential pathogens or cell debris in their path. But, in doing so, they also destroy and eat the neuronal connections that are so important for memory storage.
Another type of neuroimmune cell called an astrocyte, typically wraps around the connection between neurons during illness-evoked activation and dumps inflammatory signals on these junctions, effectively preventing the changes in connections between neurons that store memories.
Because COVID-19 involves a massive release of inflammatory signals, the impact of this disease on memory is particularly interesting to me. That is because there are both short-term effects on cognition (delirium), and the potential for long-lasting changes in memory, attention and cognition. There is also an increased risk for cognitive decline and dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, during aging.
How does inflammation exert long-lasting effects on memory? If activation of neuroimmune cells is limited to the duration of the illness, then how can inflammation cause long-lasting memory deficits or increase the risk of cognitive decline?
Both the brain and the immune system have specifically evolved to change as a consequence of experience, in order to neutralize danger and maximize survival. In the brain, changes in connections between neurons allows us to store memories and rapidly change behavior to escape threat, or seek food or social opportunities. The immune system has evolved to fine-tune the inflammatory response and antibody production against previously encountered pathogens.
Yet long-lasting changes in the brain after illness are also closely linked to increased risk for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. The disruptive and destructive actions of neuroimmune cells and inflammatory signaling can permanently impair memory. This can occur through permanent damage to the neuronal connections or neurons themselves and also via more subtle changes in how neurons function.
The potential connection between COVID-19 and persistent effects on memory are based on observations of other illnesses. For example, many patients who recover from heart attack or bypass surgery report lasting cognitive deficits that become exaggerated during aging.
Another major illness with a similar cognitive complications is sepsis – multi-organ dysfunction triggered by inflammation. In animal models of these diseases, we also see impairments of memory, and changes in neuroimmune and neuronal function that persist weeks and months after illness.
[You’re too busy to read everything. We get it. That’s why we’ve got a weekly newsletter. Sign up for good Sunday reading. ]
Even mild inflammation, including chronic stress, are now recognized as risk factors for dementias and cognitive decline during aging.
In my own laboratory, I and my colleagues have also observed that even without bacterial or viral infection, triggering inflammatory signaling over a short-term period results in long-lasting changes in neuronal function in memory-related brain regions and memory impairments.
Does COVID-19 increase risk for cognitive decline? It will be many years before we know whether the COVID-19 infection causes an increased risk for cognitive decline or Alzheimer’s disease. But this risk may be decreased or mitigated through prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
Prevention and treatment both rely on the ability to decrease the severity and duration of illness and inflammation. Intriguingly, very new research suggests that common vaccines, including the flu shot and pneumonia vaccines, may reduce risk for Alzheimer’s.
Additionally, several emerging treatments for COVID-19 are drugs that suppress excessive immune activation and inflammatory state. Potentially, these treatments will also reduce the impact of inflammation on the brain, and decrease the impact on long-term brain health.
COVID-19 will continue to impact health and well-being long after the pandemic is over. As such, it will be critical to continue to assess the effects of COVID-19 illness in vulnerability to later cognitive decline and dementias.
In doing so, researchers will likely gain critical new insight into the role of inflammation across the life-span in age-related cognitive decline. This will aid in the development of more effective strategies for prevention and treatment of these debilitating illnesses.

Vaccines that protect against severe illness, death and lingering long Covid-19 symptoms from a coronavirus infection were linked to small increases in neurological, blood, and heart-related conditions in the largest global vaccine safety study to date.
The rare events – identified early in the pandemic – included a higher risk of heart-related inflammation from mRNA shots made by Pfizer Inc, BioNTech SE, and Moderna Inc, and an increased risk of a type of blood clot in the brain after immunisation with viral-vector vaccines such as the one developed by the University of Oxford and made by AstraZeneca Plc.
The viral-vector jabs were also tied to an increased risk of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a neurological disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nervous system.
More than 13.5 billion doses of Covid vaccines have been administered globally over the past three years, saving over 1 million lives in Europe alone. Still, a small proportion of people immunised were injured by the shots, stoking debate about their benefits versus harms.
The new research, by the Global Vaccine Data Network, was published in the journal Vaccine last week.
The research looked for 13 medical conditions that the group considered “adverse events of special interest” among 99 million vaccinated individuals in eight countries, aiming to identify higher-than-expected cases after a Covid shot.
Myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, was consistently identified following a first, second and third dose of mRNA vaccines, the study found.
The highest increase in the observed-to-expected ratio was seen after a second jab with the Moderna shot. A first and fourth dose of the same vaccine was also tied to an increase in pericarditis, or inflammation of the thin sac covering the heart.
Researchers found a statistically significant increase in cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome within 42 days of an initial Oxford-developed ChAdOx1 or “Vaxzevria” shot that wasn’t observed with mRNA vaccines.
Based on the background incidence of the condition, 66 cases were expected – but 190 events were observed.
ChAdOx1 was linked to a threefold increase in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, a type of blood clot in the brain, identified in 69 events, compared with an expected 21.
The small risk led to the vaccine’s withdrawal or restriction in Denmark and multiple other countries. Myocarditis was also linked to a third dose of ChAdOx1 in some, but not all, populations studied.
Possible safety signals for transverse myelitis – spinal cord inflammation – after viral-vector vaccines was identified in the study.
So was acute disseminated encephalomyelitis – inflammation and swelling in the brain and spinal cord – after both viral-vector and mRNA vaccines.
Seven cases of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis after vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine were observed, versus an expectation of two.
The adverse events of special interest were selected based on pre-established associations with immunisation, what was already known about immune-related conditions and preclinical research. The study didn’t monitor for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, that some research has linked with Covid vaccines.
Exercise intolerance, excessive fatigue, numbness and “brain fog” were among common symptoms identified in more than 240 adults experiencing chronic post-vaccination syndrome in a separate study conducted by the Yale School of Medicine. The cause of the syndrome isn’t yet known, and it has no diagnostic tests or proven remedies.
The Yale research aims to understand the condition to relieve the suffering of those affected and improve the safety of vaccines, said Harlan Krumholz, a principal investigator of the study, and director of the Yale New Haven Hospital Centre for Outcomes Research and Evaluation.
“Both things can be true,” Krumholz said in an interview. “They can save millions of lives, and there can be a small number of people who’ve been adversely affected.”

Once again experiencing the sort of leg pain where I can't walk and intercostal muscle weakness where breathing stops being automatic and Googling Guillain-Barre syndrome lol (if I had it I would be dead by now, I've had these symptoms for years, but they have gotten markedly worse in recent months, as has my periodic hemiplegic paralysis and aphasia. I really need to see a neurologist)

Gillian Barre Syndrome Do not just scroll by this!
This Syndrome/Virus can be easily misdiagnosed as Type Two diabetes pain, or even passed off as un-explained muscle strain, Arthritis or just aging.  It is a particularly evil virus that most of us carry with us that hides along the spinal cord. (Or so they think) It can be activated by vaccines or other infections.  It is very malevolent in that it can and will KILL YOU  if not diagnosed correctly.  It has for the most part disabled me because it was misdiagnosed for so long.  It even contributed to a massive stroke which I suffered a year ago this coming April 11th.  Even after all of this, the specialists tend to not listen beyond what they can’t experience for themselves.   You must make them listen!  I didn’t complain as strongly as I should have. It started with me as annoying unexplained pain over several years  I was very active and healthy.  So I wrote it off as just one of those things  especially with the doctors telling me it’s just one of those things.. This gave it more time to damage my nervous system.  “They” say it’s very rare.  But I’m seeing and hearing of more and more people being attacked by it. If you begin to feel like something is killing you from the inside out, eating away at you.   If you feel a deep numbness moving up one or both legs, at a fast pace, or even slow.  Preceded by intense chronic pain perhaps over months.  (for me, it was over a year)   Do not hesitate to get to the ER.  It was only an attending Nurse that saved my life remembering the symptoms she had seen before  They found the elevated protein in my spinal fluid and rushed me 5 IVIG infusions.  Literally saving my life.  I was within an hour, maybe two of the virus damaging the nerves beyond repair, to my vital organs.  Pain??? I can tell you about nearly every layer and flavor of pain you can imagine, when your nervous system sends your brain signals of injury, even burn injuries... that don’t exist physically.  Only in the nerves themselves.  I’m currently on the highest maximum dosage of Gabapentin that can be recommended for the pain.  The pain still creeps through it.  It isn’t just pain either,  It’s the lack of muscle strength and coordination caused by misfiring nerve signals.  I had the coordination of an athlete before this.  It can strike any age, anytime.  No matter how fit and healthy you are.       Having experienced this over three years now, I feel it is far worse than covid..  Please click on the link I’m providing especially if you are considering a Shingles vaccine.  This is far worse than suffering with shingles in the damage it does.  even the information provided does not fully describe the intensity at which it strikes with.  I’ve never been one to relate my own suffering to others.  I always thought it weak to complain  But you must hear me on this. https://www.bing.com/search?q=guillain+barre+syndrome&cvid=ca9fe0cfda6d49e59c650d8a207f2dbb&aqs=edge.4.69i57j0l8.17964j0j4&FORM=ANAB01&PC=HCTS

THE CONNECTICUT MEMORANDA SERIES Vol. II - COVID-19 “VACCINE”-CAUSED DEATHS & DEATHS FRAUDULENTLY LABELED “COVID-19”
Coquin de Chien
Oct 12, 2024
Share The Real CdC’s Newsletter
On August 21, 2024, John Beaudoin, Sr., President and CEO of Summa Logica LLC, filed a whistleblower complaint with the Auditors of Public Accounts of Connecticut. The allegations pertain to forgery of death records under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53a-139 (2023). More than 100 Connecticut death records list “Covid” as a cause of death though the deaths are certified as “accidental” and involve blunt force trauma or fentanyl overdose. Other records were found to be Covid vaccine deaths, but the vaccine is fraudulently omitted from the death records.
The whistleblower complaint was accompanied by THE CONNECTICUT MEMORANDA SERIES Volume II (CT Memo Vol. II) comprising nearly 250 pages of factual allegations gleaned from Connecticut’s official vital records database of death records.
Four death records expressly state that a Covid vaccine was involved in the deaths. One boy 16 years old died due to “Stress Cardiomyopathy Following Second Dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech.” Dalcie, 73 years old, died from Guillain Barre Syndrome. Her record also states, “second Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine 28 days before start of symptoms.” Juana, 39 years old, died from “Sudden Cardiac Death,” “Probable … myocarditis.” Juana’s record states that myocarditis resulted from Covid. This is odd because her record also states she was vaccinated for Covid. Myocarditis is known to occur from Covid vaccines, but not from Covid. Lorraine was 85 years old and died from congestive heart failure only two days after vaccination. Only the boy’s record lists “Y59.0,” which means, “Viral vaccines.” The other three records omit any code related to vaccines even though the records clearly state that a Covid vaccine was a cause or contributing condition of death.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses software that reads the English words in the causes of death on the records and then automatically outputs the ICD-10 codes, which are international symptom diagnostic codes. “Y59.0” is an ICD-10 code. If “vaccination” or “vaccine” are on the death record and “Y59.0” is missing after the software executes, it is highly likely that someone deleted “Y59.0,” else someone manually added “Y59.0” for the boy and did not add “Y.59.0” for the other three.

Is Acupuncture Good For Neuropathic Pain?
Neuropathy is the result of damage or malfunction that affects one or more nerves, which usually results in numbness, muscle weakness, tingling, and discomfort in the area.
Neuropathies typically begin with your feet and hands; however other areas of your body may be affected as well.
Symptoms 
Depending on the cause and varying by patient, symptoms of neuropathy may include permanent or temporary numbness; burning or tingling sensations; increased sensitivities to the touch; pain; weakness or loss; the paralysis of glands or organs, or impairment of urination or sexual function.
Types Of Neuropathy
Four major types of neuropathy that may have an effect on the nervous system include:
Peripheral symmetric neuropathy: This affects the hands and feet. This is by far the most frequent type of diabetic neuropathy.
Autonomic neuropathy occurs in the nerves that regulate involuntary functions within the body, including digestion, urination, and heart rate.
Thoracic and lumbar root or proximal neuropathy: The nerves are damaged within a particular area of the body, for example, the chest wall and legs.
Mononeuropathies: These may affect any individual nerve.
What is the cause of neuropathy?
Nerve damage can result from a variety of conditions, injuries, or infections.
Diabetes: Diabetes is the most frequently associated condition with neuropathy. It is more common among those suffering from diabetes for a long time and tends to be more severe in people who struggle to manage their diabetes, or who are overweight or suffer from an elevated level of blood lipid hypertension.
Vitamin deficiency: Such as deficiencies in vitamin B12 and folate in addition to other B vitamins, could result in nerve damage.
Autoimmune Neuropathy: Autoimmune conditions such as arthritis-like rheumatoid (RA), systemic Lupus, and Guillain-Barre syndrome could trigger neuropathies.
Infections: Certain infections like HIV/AIDS Lyme disease, leprosy, and syphilis, may cause damage to nerves.
Post-herpetic Neurogia: Postherpetic Neuralgia is a complication of the shingles (varicella-zoster virus), a type of neuropathy.
Acute alcohol-related neuropathy: Damages to nerves due to alcohol as well as low nutrition and nutritional deficiencies typical for alcoholics.
Amyloidosis: Amyloidosis refers to an illness in which abnormally sized protein fibers accumulate in organs and tissues. These protein deposits may cause different degrees of organ damage and could be the source of neuropathy.
Uremia: Uremia (a high amount of waste products in the blood due to kidney failure) could lead to neuropathy.
Toxins and poisons: Examples are lead compounds, gold mercury, arsenic, mercury, some industrial solvents, nitrogenous oxide, and organophosphate pesticides.
Certain medications or drugs: Certain medications and drugs may cause nerve damage to the nerves. Examples include chemotherapy medicines like vincristine (Oncovin, Vincasar).
Trauma/Injury: Injury or trauma to nerves, such as the pressure put on the nerve or group of nerves, is the most common reason for neuropathy. 
Tumors: Malignant or benign tumors of nerves or nearby structures can affect nerves directly to cause neuropathy 
Idiopathic: Idiopathic Neuropathy is a type of neuropathy with no known cause. 
Can acupuncture help in treating neuropathy?
 Acupuncture can be extremely effective in treating and reversing small nerve fiber injuries in the feet and hands. It has been proven to reduce nerve irritation and numbness.
The advantages of the acupuncture method is to reduce the sensation of numbness and pain, as well as reduce sharp/burning and eliminates the "ant creeping feeling" and healing nerve damage to improve balance. It also increases the capability to move on surfaces that are uneven and also increases grip while drinking coffee.
Acupuncture is highly effective in treating Chemotherapy caused neuropathy in cases where acupuncture treatment is initiated from the start of Chemotherapy to bring back the function of the nerve.
Also read,
How can acupuncture help people suffering from side effects of cancer?
The needles used for acupuncture are placed into your body's pressure points to stimulate your nervous system. The result is the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers within the muscles, spine, and the brain. This procedure alters the body's response to pain.
Also read,
How acupuncture works in relieving pain?
A lot of people suffering from neuropathy resort to acupuncture in order for relief from chronic pain. Acupuncture also increases blood flow to repair the nerves damaged by it.
 How Does Acupuncture Improve Neuropathy?
The main principle of acupuncture treatment for neuropathy involves nerve regeneration and preservation.
If you're suffering from peripheral neuropathy, you are aware that the resulting numbness and pain can be nearly unbearable. Walking, particularly on hard cold surfaces such as tiles, may feel like you are walking onto glass that is sunk into the ground.
In peripheral neuropathy, damaged nerves within the peripheral nerve system trigger burning, tingling or even a loss of sensation in feet and hands.
For those suffering from peripheral neuropathy, the aim is to restore the stimulation of damaged nerve fibers and stop them from dying. That's the place where acupuncture really can make an impact. For instance, local acupuncture around the fingertips stimulates the flow of blood to capillaries and results in making the nerves work more efficiently.
Also read,
Why is Acupuncture an effective treatment for sciatica?
What Are The Benefits Of Acupressure?
Research has shown that acupuncture can be a successful remedy for peripheral neuropathy with fewer adverse consequences than drugs. The concept is to avoid neuropathy in the long run by keeping your nerves in a state of active and active.
If you're seeking alternative therapies for neuropathy along with traditional methods, You may be able to achieve success using acupuncture. It is crucial to choose an acupuncturist who is well-experienced in treating neuropathy. Acupuncture for Neuropathic pain is the best treatment for neuropathy

#Autoimmune Disease
DID YOU KNOW?
There are over 100 known autoimmune diseases. These conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks parts of the human body instead of protecting it. Some common autoimmune diseases include:
Diseases of the joints and muscles:
Psoriatic arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Sjögren’s syndrome
Diseases of the digestive tract:
Crohn’s disease
Celiac disease
Ulcerative colitis
Diseases of the endocrine system:
Graves’ disease
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Addison’s disease
Diseases of the skin:
Dermatomyositis
Psoriasis
Diseases of the nervous system:
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
Guillain-Barre syndrome
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Other autoimmune diseases:
Myasthenia gravis
Autoimmune vasculitis
Type 1 diabetes
Pernicious anemia
Autoimmune diseases can affect various tissues and nearly any organ in the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms such as pain, fatigue, rashes, and more. They are relatively common, affecting more than 23.5 million people in the United States. Females and those with a family history of autoimmune diseases are more likely to develop them.

Neurological Emergencies: When to Get Urgent Medical Help
Tumblr media
The nervous system of our body has a complex set of functions that involves all the nerves, brain, and spinal cord. Any health emergencies affecting this system can be considered neurological emergencies. Sudden or acute onset of any neurological disorders can lead to such urgent situations which need to be diagnosed and treated by an experienced neurologist in Siliguri. 
You must know that delayed recognition and treatment of these conditions can lead to life-threatening complications. Timely management and thorough neurological consultation are the key measures that can help you manage neurological conditions effectively. Herein, these measures will reduce the likelihood of poor functional recovery and paralysis. 
Warning Signs Indicating Neurological Emergencies 
The symptoms of neurological emergencies vary from person to person. It highly depends upon the underlying neurological conditions leading to the severe situation. However, some of the most common signs include loss of balance and coordination, severe headaches, tingling sensations in the legs, face, and arms, and blurred vision. 
In some chronic conditions, patients may also suffer from paralysis or one-sided weakness along with loss of consciousness. Some people also face extreme difficulty in speaking due to slurred speech. If you or your near ones are suffering from any of these conditions then without any delay visit Star Hospital, the best neuro hospital in Siliguri. 
Types Of Neurological Emergencies Requiring Medical Attention
1. Seizures- Seizures are one of the most common neurological emergencies which happen due to sudden bursts of electrical activity inside your brain. Various types of seizures include generalized and focal seizures. If the seizure is accompanied by heat exhaustion, high fever, or stays for more than 5 minutes then it is considered an emergency.  
2. Stroke- An ischemic stroke is a serious condition requiring immediate medical help. This condition happens due to reduced or blocked blood supply in certain parts of the brain. As a result of this, your brain cells start to die which can lead to the symptoms of visual impairment, trouble speaking, headache, and weakness. 
3. Myasthenia Gravis- Myasthenia Gravis is comparatively a rare neurological emergency that can make certain muscles of your body tired and weak. It can affect your eyes, neck, face, limbs, and throat muscles while creating problems with swallowing, breathing, walking, seeing, and holding things. 
4. Guillain-Barre Syndrome- This is an exceptional autoimmune disorder where your immune system starts attacking and damaging the nerves. The initial signs of this disorder are tingling or weakness in the feet and hands. If this condition is not treated by a reputed neurologist in Siliguri then it can lead to complete paralysis. You must seek immediate medical help if the tingling sensation is spreading throughout the body rapidly. 
5. Head or Spinal Cord Injuries- It is also important for you to seek immediate medical attention if you have suffered a head or spinal cord injury or trauma. Whether it is an open or closed injury, you need urgent treatment to control the complications associated with concussions. Altered consciousness, vision changes, vomiting, reduced movement, and incontinence are some of the conditions indicating serious injuries. 
6. Subarachnoid Haemorrhage- Subarachnoid Haemorrhage is considered a severe neurological emergency as it can cause serious bleeding between the subarachnoid space and the brain. Permanent damage to the brain and even death can happen if this condition is not managed at the right time. 
Rapid Treatments Offered To Manage Neurological Symptoms 
Time is the most important thing while handling neurological emergencies. The main thing that the team of neurologists will do is evaluate the condition and offer medications or oxygen support if the patient is suffering from seizures. After stabilizing the patient’s condition, the doctor may recommend certain diagnostic tests to identify the underlying health issues. 
Some such tests include MRI or CT scans. Furthermore, based on the results of these tests, a proper surgical intervention or medication will be advised to treat the condition. This will also help the patient to prevent any further medical emergencies. Herein, blood pressure monitoring and certain lifestyle modifications will also be advised. 
Ways To Prevent A Neurological Emergency 
You must know that not all of the neurological emergencies can be prevented. However, you may reduce the likelihood of certain issues by following certain effective measures. 
The first and foremost thing that one must adhere to is to follow a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. This will help you to maintain proper blood sugar and pressure levels. 
It is also important for you to avoid excessive alcohol consumption and smoking as it can increase the chances of neurological issues. 
You must also take the necessary precautions and wear helmets while indulging in high-risk activities. This will help you to avoid any serious injuries involving the nervous system. 
Neurological emergencies occur without any prior warning. This is why contacting the best neurologist near you immediately after recognizing the symptoms is important to alleviate any irreversible damage. Treatment approaches for different neurological issues are different and your doctor will know the best method to offer you a speedy recovery. Don’t hesitate to call 1800 123 8044 (Toll Free) / +91 80010 06060 to get immediate medical support.

Introduction & Guide to Nerve Problems with Ayurveda
Understanding Nerve Issues
While a nerve problem may begin with a minor sensation in your hands or feet, it can lead to serious health problems in the long term.
However, because they do not usually show obvious signs of injury, people frequently overlook nerve disorders at first. This blog will attempt to raise awareness of nerve pain, explain nerve pain therapy at home, and discuss ways to promote nerve health.
If you or a loved one is suffering from a nerve problem, this blog may be of assistance. So buckle up and keep reading.
What Causes Nerve Problems?
Nerve disorders are usually the result of nerve injury. And what are the causes of nerve damage?
Nerve injury can occur for a variety of reasons. Accidental injuries, sports injuries, abnormal stretches, compressions, crushes, and nerve cuts can all cause nerve disorders.
Other medical diseases that might cause nerve problems include diabetes, Guillain-Barre syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, hereditary reasons, metabolism issues, infections, and toxins.
Nerve Disorders Types
Several types of neuropathy can have an impact on nerve health. Mononeuropathy refers to nerve damage to only one nerve. Multi-mononeuropathy refers to nerve damage that affects two or more nerves. Polyneuropathy occurs when nerve injury affects many nerves.
Individuals may also experience the following nerve difficulties as they progress.
Peripheral Neuropathy
The peripheral nervous system is affected by this sort of nerve injury. This system sends messages from the CNS (central nervous system) to the rest of the body.
Neuropathy of this type can affect the feet, legs, arms, and hands.
Neuropathy of the Autonomic Nervous System
This type of neuropathy affects the nerves that control internal organs and assist regulate important activities such as digestion and breathing. Autonomic neuropathy can cause serious health problems that impact the heart, blood pressure, and the digestive system.
Focal Neuropathy
This is a condition in which a single nerve is damaged in any of the following bodily locations:
    Head, Hand, Torso, and Leg
Bell’s palsy is one type of focal neuropathy. Individuals suffering from this illness may experience weakness or paralysis on one side of their face. Double vision and unexpected weakness and/or pain in the front thigh and other body areas can also develop from focal nerve injury.
Diabetes-Related Neuropathy
Diabetes is a medical disorder that causes blood sugar levels to rise. Diabetes can damage blood vessels over time, preventing nutrients and oxygen from reaching the nerves. This might result in a lack of oxygen and nourishment, making proper nerve activity difficult.
Diabetic nerve issues can result in a variety of neuropathies. However, it is peripheral neuropathy 50% of the time.
Other Types of Nerve Issues
Aside from the ones described above, below is a list of other nerve issues:
    Phantom Limb Syndrome is a type of common mononeuropathy.
    Trigeminal Neuralgia is a type of nerve pain.
    Thoracic or Lumbar Radiculopathy Due to Postherpetic Neuralgia
If you have nerve problems, it is best to consult a specialist who can evaluate your problem and provide appropriate therapy.
Nerve Weakness and Nerve Problems Symptoms
People frequently discover nerve problem symptoms that signal nerve weakness or injury before consulting a specialist. The following nerve weakness symptoms may help you identify your nerve problem and get it tested and treated as soon as possible.
    Severe shooting pain with throbbing and/or burning sensations
    Numbness
    Tingling sensations or the sense of being pinched by “pins and needles.”
    Inability to use one’s senses – for example, difficulties feeling temperature
    Itching that is red or has a mottled appearance
Aside from these effects, nerve discomfort might make you too sensitive to touch. In such circumstances, people may experience pain even when only lightly touching specific body areas.
In addition, nerve discomfort can cause the following problems on a daily basis:
    Sleeping difficulties
    Depression
    Anxiety
    Inability to do daily tasks
Ayurvedic Approach to Nerve Health
Nerve disorders, according to Ayurveda, are caused by imbalances in the three doshas. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are the three doshas in the human body.
The Vata dosha is in charge of the normal functioning of our nerve system and movement. As a result, when the Vata is out of balance, it can cause nerve disorders such as anxiety, depression, and stress.
This can also occur as a result of a lack of nutrition and excessive junk food consumption. A Vata shift can also be caused by external environmental causes.
Result?
Excess Vata can cause an increase in toxin accumulation. To maintain your nerves healthy, it’s critical to drain the toxin buildup, and Vata should be optimised.
Ayurveda takes a holistic approach to improving nerve health.
Ayurvedic herbal tonics can function on tissue levels, assisting in nervous system wellbeing.

GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME OR INFECTIOUS POLYNEURITIS – Etiology, Pathophysiology, Signs and Symptoms, Diagnostic Evaluation and Management
Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a acute condition that involves progressive muscle weakness or paralysis. It is an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks its own nervous system, causing inflammation that damages the myelin sheath of the nerve. This damage (demyleinazation) slows or stops the conduction of impulses through the nerve. The impairment of nerve impulses to the muscles leads to symptoms that may include muscle weakness, paralysis, spasms, numbness, tingling or pin-and-needle sensations and tenderness.
ETIOLOGY
Camphylobacter jejuni infection: camphylobacter infection is also the most common risk factor for Guillain-Barre. It is often found in undercooked food, especially poultry.
Influenza
Cytomegalovirus
Epstein-Barr virus infection
Mycoplasma pneumonia
HIV or AIDS
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
A condition of symptoms characterized by a widespread, inappropriate inflammatory immune response —- the syndrome progresses from the feet up and generally affects one side more than the other —- nerve condition is interrupted as T-cells are activated and antibodies attack the myelin sheath —- a polyneuropathies, that include the associated neurological symptoms related to immune response —- symptoms continually progress in severity over the course of a few hours to several days —- symptoms initiate in lower extremities with symmetrical paresthesia that may advance to paralysis
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Loss of tendon reflexes in the arms and legs
Tingling or numbness (mild loss of sensation)
Muscle tenderness or pain (maybe a cramp-like pain)
Uncoordinated movement (cannot walk without help)
Low blood pressure or poor blood pressure control
Abnormal heart rate
Blurred vision and double vision
Clumsiness and falling
Difficulty moving face muscles
Muscle contractions
Feeling the heartbeat
EMERGENCY SYMPTOMS
Breathing temporarily stops
Cannot take a deep breath
Difficulty breathing
Difficulty swallowing
Drooling
Fainting
Feeling light-headed when standing
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
Spinal tap: this test is also referred to as a lumbar puncture. A spinal tap involves taking a small amount of fluid from the spine in the lower back. The fluid is then tested to detect protein levels. People with Guillain-Barre typically have higher-than-normal levels of protein in their cerebrospinal fluid
Electromyography: an electromyography is a nerve function test. It reads electrical activity from the muscles and help to learn if the muscle weakness is caused by nerve damage or muscle damage
MANAGEMENT
Physical therapy:  before recovery, a caregiver may need to manually move the arms and legs. This will help the muscles strong and mobile. After recovery, physical therapy will helps to strengthen and flex the muscles again. Therapy includes massages, exercises and frequent position changes.
Plasmapheresis: the immune system produces protein called antibodies that normally attack harmful foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses. Guillain-Barre occurs when the immune system mistakenly makes antibodies that attack the healthy nerves of the nervous system. Plasmapheresis is intended to remove the antibodies attacking the nerves from the blood. During this procedure, blood is removed from the body by machine that removes the antibodies from the blood and then the blood is returned to the body
Intravenous immunoglobulin: high doses of immunoglobulin can also help to block the antibodies causing Guillain-Barre.
NURSING MANAGEMENT
Nursing Diagnosis
Ineffective breathing pattern and airway clearance related to respiratory muscle weakness or paralysis, decreased cough reflex, immobilization
Impaired physical mobility related to paralysis, ataxia
Risk for impaired skin integrity, pressure sores related to muscle weakness, paralysis, impaired sensation, changes in nutrition, incontinence
Imbalanced nutrition, less than body requirements related to difficulty chewing, swallowing, fatigue, limb paralysis
Impaired elimination: constipation, diarrhea, related to inadequate food intake, immobilization
Impaired verbal communication related to the VII cranial nerve paralysis, tracheostomy
Ineffective copying related to the patient’s disease state
Interventions
Monitor respiratory status through vital capacity measurements, rate and depth of respirations and breath sounds
Monitor level of muscle weakness as it ascends toward respiratory muscles. watch for breathlessness while talking which is a sign of respiratory fatigue
Monitor the patient for signs of impending respiratory failure
Monitor gag reflex and swallowing ability
Position patient with the head of bed elevated to provide for maximum chest excursion
Avoid giving opioids and sedatives that may depress respirations
Position patient correctly and provide range-of-motion exercises
Provide good body alignment, range-of-motion exercises, and change of position to prevent complications such as contractness, pressure sores, and dependent edema
Ensure adequate nutrition without the risk of aspiration
Encourage physical and occupational therapy exercises to help the patient regain strength during rehabilitation phase
Provide assistive devices as needed (cane or wheelchair) to maximize independence and activity
If verbal communication is possible, discuss the patient’s fears and concerns
Provide choices in care to give the patient a sense of control
Teach patient about breathing exercises or use of an incentive spirometer to re-establish normal breathing patterns
Instruct patient to wear good supportive and protective shoes while out of bed to prevent injuries due to weakness and paresthesia
Instruct patient to check feet routinely for injuries because trauma may go unnoticed due to sensory changes
Urge the patient to maintain normal weight because additional weight will further stress monitor function
Encourage scheduled rest periods to avoid fatigue.

What is a Neurological Problem?
Neurological problems arise from problems in the nervous system which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Your brain and spinal cord send signals to the muscles through nerves for proper functioning and movement of any part of the body. This is known as the nervous system circuit.
When there is a problem in the nervous system network, the communication or nerve signal gets affected leading to impairment of nerves. This leads to a neurological problem causing neurological disorders.
Types of Neurological Disorders
Neurological disorders can affect any age group from children to elderly age groups. The various types of neurological disorders are as follows-
Alzheimer’s
Parkinson’s disease
Multiple sclerosis
Dementia
Muscular dystrophy
Motor neuron disease
Epilepsy
Stroke
As per research, it has been confirmed that there are more than 600 known neurological problems. A neurological problem has a higher chance of disability if ignored and left untreated.
It is important to detect it at an early stage to prevent degeneration of the nerves. Apart from knowing the signs and symptoms of neurological problems, it is important to detect the cause or trigger to eliminate it for better recovery. Let’s check out the causes of neurological problems.
Causes of Neurological Problems
The main causes of neurological problems are as follows-
Stress
Aging
Degeneration of the nerves
Injury due to a motor vehicle accident or trauma to the head
Sudden onset of brain stroke or attack hampering blood circulation
Birth defects such as asphyxia or lack of oxygen supply
Brain infections such as meningitis
Congenital anomalies such as spina bifida
Brain cancer or tumor
Spinal issues such as cervical or lumbar radiculopathy
Symptoms of Neurological Problems
According to WHO (World Health Organization), neurological disorders can affect the nervous system at any level such as central or peripheral. This involves the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, neuromuscular junctions, and branches of nerves. It may affect one or multiple systems of the body causing various symptoms. Let’s take a sneak peak into the symptoms of neurological problems.
The symptoms of neurological problems are as follows-
1.   Pain
Any kind of back, neck, or leg pain is mostly related to nerve-affecting issues such as lumbar or cervical spondylosis or sciatica. The pain may be chronic at times due to compression of the nerves at the spine.
2.   Headache
Recurrent headaches should never be ignored. Any kind of headache occurring frequently for more than 3 months is considered a migraine. Migraine is a neurological disorder associated with one-sided headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and vertigo.
3.   Muscle weakness
If you have lower extremity muscle weakness, there are high chance that nerves are involved. The common neuromuscular disorders are muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
4.   Tremor
Tremor is a neurological symptom that involves involuntary shaking or trembling of body parts. The tremors may be present at activities as well as on rest. It can affect the arms, legs, head, and torso.
5.   Poor coordination
Poor coordination may occur due to any kind of neurological disorder where there is an inability to control muscle movements.
6.   Gait instability
Gait instability is one of the major problems that may arise due to uncoordinated movements of the extremities causing excessive falls. This leads to unsteady gait called ataxia which is a characteristic symptom of the neurological disorder of the spine.
7.   Rigidity, stiffness, and muscle spasticity
Spasticity is known as unusual stiffness of the muscle which may occur for any kind of muscle, especially on the lower legs. This causes unusual tightness or increased muscle tone resulting in difficulty in walking.
8.   Numbness
If you are experiencing tingling or numbness in the upper and lower extremities, there could be various reasons. This is also called paraesthesia where you could lose some sensation of the soles. One of the reasons is cervical and lumbar radiculopathy.
9.   Vertigo
There are many reasons for dizzy spells or vertigo such as dehydration, high blood pressure, hearing issues, or the nervous system could be involved at times. Vertigo is a spinning sensation that may make you feel off-balance.
Vision problems
Neurological problems may involve vision issues such as blurring of vision or double vision. This is seen in extreme causes of neurological disorders. This is mainly due to abnormality with your eyes, brain, and nervous system.
11. Difficulty swallowing
One more rare disorder that is seen in extreme cases of neurological issues is difficulty in swallowing. This is also called dysphagia. This could be because of brain stroke, head injury, or dementia.
12. Slurred speech
Speech problems may arise in extreme cases of the neurological disorder. This is also called dysarthria. This is mainly due to facial paralysis or tongue weakness.
13. Sleeping issues
Many problems may arise due to lack of sleep (insomnia). These are obstructive sleep apnea, parasomnias, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome.
14. Poor cognition
Alzehimer and Parkinson’s may cause memory loss or poor cognition. This is typically seen in elderly age groups due to the degeneration of brain cells and nerves.
15. Difficulty in motor movements
In case of paralysis, there may be difficulty in motor movements which may lead to disability. This is called hemiplegia or paraplegia.
If you are resonating with any signs and symptoms, it is advisable to consult the doctor the right way to stop the progression of neurological problems. Your doctor will prescribe you a certain diagnostic test and treatment to help you recover from your neurological issue.
Diagnosis of Neurological Problem
The diagnosis of any neurological problem is done under the supervision of a doctor through an examination of mental status, cranial nerves, motor function, sensory function, and reflexes. Your doctor will also prescribe you certain test which includes-
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
CT scans (Computed Tomography)
EMG test (Electromyography)
NCV test (Nerve Conduction Test)
EEG (Electroencephalogram)
Certain blood test such Vitamin B12, Vitamin D2, and CPK values
Treatment for Neurological Problems
The treatment for neurological problems is generally target-specific based on the diagnosis. The treatment includes the following -
Medicines
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Lumbar puncture
Deep brain stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation
Surgery
Rehabilitation or physical therapy

Acute Flaccid Myelitis Market by Treatment Type (Pharmacological Treatment, Physical & Occupational Therapy, Plasmapheresis, and Others) - Global Outlook & Forecast 2023-2031
According to the deep-dive market assessment study by Growth Plus Reports, global acute flaccid myelitis market is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period.
Acute Flaccid Myelitis Market Fundamentals 
Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a life-threatening illness that appears like polio and was first identified in unusual clusters in California in 2012 and Colorado in 2014. With hundreds of cases recorded in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, North America, and South America, AFM is now recognized as a widespread condition. Recent AFM is thought to have been mostly caused by epidemic enteroviral infection, notably enterovirus D68 infection. Cases typically occur in geographic clusters in temperate climates and follow a clear seasonal-biennial pattern. Young children are most often affected by AFM, characterized by an abrupt onset of flaccid weakness in one or more limbs and abnormalities in the grey matter of the spinal cord. Additional muscles may be affected include the extraocular, respiratory, bulbar, and trunk muscles. Clinical signs of other acute weakness-causing conditions, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, demyelinating myelitis, and other infectious myelitis, may resemble those of AFM.

Less than 15% of incidents of AFM in adults (more frequently in the immunocompromised) occur, with AFM in adults perhaps needing to be more reported or recognized. AFM is mostly a pediatric condition. There may be a small preference for men. Most AFM patients experience a prodromal sickness that includes a fever and respiratory symptoms (such as a cough, rhinorrhea, pharyngitis, or a disease that resembles asthma). Vomiting and diarrhea are less common gastrointestinal complaints.
Headache, stiffness in the neck, or a return of fever can occur together with the development of neurological symptoms. Pain in the afflicted limb(s), neck, or lower back often precedes limb weakening in patients. Flaccid weakness usually affects one or more limbs and is asymmetrical, with a preference for the upper limbs and proximal muscle groups. In addition to limb weakness, over 30% of patients exhibit motor deficits localized to the brainstem's cranial nerve motor nuclei. These deficits are largely bulbar and facial weakness, with extraocular muscle weakness occurring less frequently.
The most effective diagnostic procedure for AFM is an MRI of the spinal cord. The distinctive feature of AFM is spinal cord grey matter T2 hyperintensity. When examined axially, early acute phase lesions impact the whole grey matter of the spinal cord. They are often confluent and poorly delineated, with varied degrees of surrounding white matter involvement and edema. Grey matter lesions in the spinal cord are often longitudinally widespread.
Acute Flaccid Myelitis Market Dynamics 
The acute flaccid myelitis market is growing due to rising awareness, increasing surveillance initiatives, identification and reporting of AFM cases. The number of reported cases of AFM has increased as medical professionals and public health organizations have become more cautious in finding and diagnosing the condition. For instance, Acute Flaccid Myelitis Association aims to increase public understanding and support for this disease.  They also offer assistance to parents, caregivers, and those who are experiencing AFM symptoms. Their funding is used to meet the requirements of the patients. They utilize donations to pay for therapies, treatments, and equipment not covered by insurance for families. More than 90% of donations are used immediately to meet the critical medical requirements of AFMA grant candidates. Additionally, the federal government has noticed the illness due to the advocacy efforts of AFM-affected families, the Acute Flaccid Myelitis Association (AFMA), and medical professionals who treat patients with the condition. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, for example, proposed $1 billion in funding for AFM research in 2018.
Accurate and rapid diagnosis of AFM patients has been made possible by improved methods for diagnosis, including laboratory testing and enhanced imaging equipment. This is likely because more information is available on illness and its prevalence. For instance, according to the National Library of Medicine 2021, 96% of documented AFM cases in the USA 2018 were hospital admissions, with 58% going to an intensive care unit. Early management's cornerstone is supportive care and vigilant monitoring targeted toward possibly developing critical problems. Moreover, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, as of June 2, 2023, twenty reports of patients under investigation (PUIs) had been made, and three of those reports had been confirmed. Since August 2014, when CDC started monitoring AFM, there have been 727 confirmed cases. Since then, the CDC has conducted extensive investigations into cases. In 2014, 2016, and 2018, there was a rise in AFM incidence, particularly involving young children.
However, AFM does not currently have a particular therapy other than symptomatic assistance. Research is still being done to understand the illness better and provide therapies. There are scientific possibilities and needs for further study in AFM, according to a 2020 article in Clinical Infectious Diseases. The long-term outcomes of AFM and juvenile transverse myelitis were compared in a 2020 study published in BMC Neurology.
Acute Flaccid Myelitis Market Ecosystem 
The global acute flaccid myelitis market is analyzed from the following perspectives by treatment type and region.
Acute Flaccid Myelitis by Treatment Type
Based on the treatment type, the global acute flaccid myelitis market is segmented into pharmacological treatment, physical & occupational therapy, plasmapheresis, and others.
There haven't been any regulated investigations of medical AFM therapies.  To increase the body's resistance to viruses, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) can be administered. Steroids and plasma exchange are two common medications used to treat transverse myelitis (TM), and they have been tested in AFM with varying degrees of success. 
Early commencement of physical and occupational therapy (PT and OT) is essential for successfully treating AFM. Both occupational and physical therapy are crucial. Children frequently attend treatment sessions for weeks or months. For the greatest results, children with AFM need to be treated by a multidisciplinary team. Even if full muscle function cannot be recovered, early intervention may improve everyday functioning and restore function to the damaged limbs.
Acute Flaccid Myelitis by Region
Based on the treatment type, the global acute flaccid myelitis market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. 
The number of instances of poliomyelitis dropped to 209 worldwide in 2014 due to poliovirus vaccinations, with nonpolio enteroviruses being the main cause of new cases of acute flaccid myelitis. Acute flaccid myelitis cases have been observed most recently during enterovirus D68 outbreaks in North America and Europe, indicating the possibility of another non-polio enterovirus linked to acute flaccid myelitis. North America had an outbreak of enterovirus D68 infections in the autumn of 2014, the majority of which were accompanied by symptoms of the upper respiratory tract. The authors describe a cluster of three individuals who had acute flaccid myelitis in Alberta, Canada, during an enterovirus D68 epidemic, with enterovirus D68 found in two of these patients.
The number of reports of acute flaccid paralysis cases has increased in the United Kingdom (UK), with many cases being identified as AFM. Unexpected clusters of AFM were first recorded in the US in 2014. Clinically, various individuals often have poliomyelitis-like paralysis, affecting one or more limbs, with no discernible sensory loss and distinctive grey matter abnormalities on MRI. A prevalent EV virus known as EV-D68, which appeared to circulate biennially in late summer and fall and was connected to severe acute respiratory and neurological disease between 2014 and 2016 in Europe, Asia, and North America, was temporally associated with an increase in AFM cases.
Acute Flaccid Myelitis Market Competitive Landscape 
Some of the prominent market players in the global acute flaccid myelitis market include, 
Baxter International Inc.
Octapharma AG
Behring GmbH
BioScrip Inc.
Pfizer Inc.
Novartis AG
AstraZeneca
GSK Plc.
Cipla Inc.
Acute Flaccid Myelitis Strategic Development 
In August 2019, to comprehend the uncommon polio-like virus that affects children, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) granted $10 million over five years for natural history research on acute flaccid myelitis (AFM).
