Experts have long found a connection between COVID and nerve damage. Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and the National Institutes of Health have uncovered evidence of peripheral neuropathy; The symptoms of which are weakness, pain in the hands and feet and fatigue.
“Our findings suggest that some tall COVID patients had damage to their peripheral nerve fibers, and damage to the short-fibre type of nerve cell may be predominant,” said lead author Anne Lewis Oaklander, an investigator in the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General. The hospital told Harvard.
On the impact of the situation, the researcher has said, “I think what’s happening here is that in some cases the nerves that control things like our breathing, our blood vessels and our digestion get damaged in these tall COVID patients.” Huh.”
