Well tests done, result: indeterminate, I need more tests. Possible early onset dementia... we will see.

Stop getting old.

My best advice.

does that mean they found nothing in the images, or did they find something questionable. usually when they find nothing, they start making educated guesses and scare the shit out of you.

they aren't sure, two things, one my capillaries might be degrading i need a better scan. Two they could see any major trauma, but my symptoms fit it.

Not to to insult Nigerian hospitals, but maybe fly back to the UK for testing and a second opinion?

Nigerian hospitals are siht. Look at the filth Whirly puts up with, blood all over the floor and urine on the windows!

Tbf, Whirly was very drunk and had a fist fight with the doctors. awesome

I went to a German run hospital. Not a Nigerian in sight. I'm popping over to Dubai though for exactly what you say Rob.

Best of luck, buddy.

We all need to donate one of our organs to Whirly

To the contrary, he needs to give his organ to me.

I was going to make an organ phallus joke, but I decided not to go for the...low hanging fruit.

Take fish oil supplements, and pick up the reading.

May not help but can't hurt.

I'm still very suspicious of long covid symptoms. I'm sure you did take a lot of hits as you said, but the timing of this is kinda peculiar, isn't it.

*edit

my suspicion is due to articles like these:

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/dementia-and-covid-19-why-are-scientists-concerned

What other thing besides Covid could it be? What else coincidentally was added to the equation?

Vaccines, perhaps?

When it comes to blood clots, I'm surprised you're taking a flight to Dubai for a second opinion...

I've been noticing this perceived degeneration going on for a bit before COVID, since maybe 2018, maybe as my brother seems to think, it's in my head but not real. I hope I am imagining it, but honestly don't think I am. The possible capillary issue isn't clotting exactly either. My RBC's are also tge upper end of normal size and the upper end of normal level for erythrocytes.

I hope you really have been overthinking it, but also hope that doesn't stop you from trying to get to the bottom of this. I say "trying" because if the leads they're investigating now are dead ends, it will probably remain a mystery, open to multiple educated guesses. at least that's been my experience with neurology and imaging.

*edit* not disrespecting neurology, it's just frustrating how limited the diagnostic and surgical capabilities are compared to other medical sciences. I almost had to have a hole drilled into my skull. I mean ffs the ancient Egyptians did that. meanwhile cardiology has sci-fi tech, robots can fix heart and send you home in a couple of days

I've got some free time coming up next month and we are going to use my bupa International insurance in dubai to check it out. I'm going to then pay to see a doc in the uk. Hopefully between the two renowned medical facility nations I'll get some answers Bash, thanks for being interested btw.
