She refers to the high quality data from "Brain imaging before and after COVID-19 in UK Biobank"

reduction in grey matter thickness and tissue contrast [...] greater changes in markers of tissue damage [...] and a greater reduction in global brain size in the SARS-CoV-2 cases [2]

Sad to read this UK-based doctor is now fully retired from clinical practice 🙁

This morning I felt the brain fog drifting in. Out of curiosity, I checked my Apple Watch to see what my blood oxygen levels were. Maybe they'd been bad overnight? No, they'd been good.

So I checked my current blood oxygen levels. They were down to 88%. Yikes!

I spent the next few minutes doing square breathing. I tested again and my blood oxygen was up to 98%. My banks of brain fog dissipated.

What the heck? Do I just stop breathing or something and that's why I can't think for shit? What is this nonsense?

The next time I have bad brain fog, I'll check my blood oxygen levels again. #BrainFog #BloodOxygen #RespiratoryDisease

I wanted to share how this played out with my brain so others know they're not alone in these struggles, and maybe steal tips.

Friday: ask for help so I don't have to search The Whole Internet
*rest*
Saturday: look at a bunch of links
*rest*
Later Saturday: pick a store, plan selections
*rest*
Sunday: make order and navigate checkout.🎉

This was actually a fast turnaround for a task for me, sometimes it takes weeks to nudge stuff forward.
