In the second week of February 2021, I had my first MRI brain scan. I went to the hospital by public transport, because I don’t like driving with bad concentration. That was a good decision because on the way back I got lost by getting on the wrong tram wondering where I was going to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I found it a bit frightening when I experienced the heaviness on my chest and palpitations while I was in the scanner. Further, it went fine. When I got the results after one week, the neurologist said they didn’t find anything alarming in the reasons the scan was made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the strange things in my head twice, headaches, tiredness, the lack of concentration, inability to read and comprehend, wordfinding problems in speaking, writing as fill-in-the-blanks text necessary to read by someone else, forgetting things, getting lost are all because of Covid-19? And tests, extensive lab draws, dementia test, physical examination, and a scan don’t show anything?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I already knew I could expect this, but I’m still in disbelieve. How is it possible to feel ill and stuck in your own body while specialists can’t find a thing? My neurologist recommended a doctor for medical rehabilitation, to help me get my life back on track. That’s what I need right now. I know I’m handling it all very well, and I manage to stay as positive as possible. But I need someone to help me overcome the setbacks because they are harder to overcome every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m happy I can speak with my psychological supporter again. I wasn’t allowed to speak to her anymore because of the mediation with my employer. The fewer people knew about it, the better. Months later it seemed I was allowed after all because of her professional confidentiality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
