Episode 72: Dr Thomas Chelimsky - autonomic dysfunction, migraine and trauma
“You have this chronic central nervous system influence on the body, such that there's inadequate return of blood to the brain… but the problem is not with the not with the veins, the problem is not with the blood return, the problem is not even with the nerves… The problem is with the central command system… so in this model, the idea would be that Covid is the trauma and that's it's turned on this switch, and Long Covid is the failure to turn off the switch.”
Episode 43: Dr Tae Chung - POTS, the nervous system and autoimmunity
“There's some kind of indirect evidence suggesting that the sympathetic nervous is dysfunctional in POTS or Long Covid patients, and given the post-infectious nature, I suspect this is some kind of inflammatory, maybe autoimmune, reaction… probably our body is attacking our sympathetic nervous system”.
