A recent study found that people who develop neurological Long COVID show changes in their blood that are similar to biomarkers seen in Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of neurodegeneration. Researchers followed essential workers who had blood samples collected both before the pandemic and again after COVID infection, giving them a rare chance to measure what actually changed over time.

After infection, people with ongoing symptoms like brain fog, dizziness, headaches, and loss of smell or taste showed large increases in a protein called pTau-181, which is linked to brain cell stress. On average, levels rose by nearly 60%, and increases were even higher in people whose symptoms lasted longer than 1.5 years.

This study wasn’t designed to answer whether Long COVID causes Alzheimer’s or dementia, but it does show that persistent neurological symptoms in Long COVID are connected to measurable biological changes, not just stress or deconditioning. The study findings suggest some people may have an underlying vulnerability that infection can worsen and highlight the need for prevention, early monitoring, and better treatments for Long COVID.

Wearables bring real-world signals into your care.

You can now connect your Garmin and Oura devices directly to RTHM’s platform to add continuous, day-to-day data alongside your symptoms, treatments, and labs.

This helps detect patterns that are often hard to see on their own, like sleep improving after a new medication, resting heart rate shifting with a dose change, gradual changes in activity tolerance, or early signs of PEM when paired with daily notes.

Wearables aren’t the whole story. But they add meaningful context that makes subtle progress clearer and setbacks easier to understand. You’re always in control and can disconnect anytime.

RTHM’s HIPAA-compliant intelligence platform securely brings all your health data into one place and uses research-supported, IACC-informed AI to organize your case and help guide next steps.

Currently supported: Garmin and Oura. More wearables coming soon.

A recent study shows that blood from people with ME/CFS and Long COVID can directly damage healthy human muscle tissue. When healthy muscle was exposed topatient blood, it became weaker, showed signs of energy stress in the mitochondria, and began to break down over time.

Researchers used bioengineered muscle to study the effects of blood alone, without factors like inactivity or deconditioning. Muscle problems appeared within 48 hours and became worse with longer exposure. This suggests the damage happens in stages, starting with short-term stress and leading to weakness and breakdown.

These findings challenge the idea that symptoms are caused by deconditioning and instead point to harmful factors in the blood. The study also introduces a new lab model that closely matches patient symptoms and could speed up research on tests and treatments.

You’re invited: Special Caregiver Wellness Workshop this Sunday

At the next Caregiver Wisdom monthly support group for chronic illness caregivers, we’ll be doing something a little special — a workshop on assessing your holistic well-being using the Wellness Wheel.

🗓 Sunday, January 4
⏰ 12–1:30 p.m. PST / 3–4:30 p.m. EST / 7–8:30 p.m. GMT

Caregiving so often pushes our needs to the bottom of the list. This gathering is a chance to pause, check in, and ask yourself: What do I need right now?

Together, we’ll explore the eight interconnected areas of wellness through a compassionate lens and identify small, doable habits that can support your resilience and create moments of joy — even in the midst of caregiving.

We’ll also have time for small breakout groups, a part of these meetings many caregivers value for deeper connection.

This group centers the experiences of caregivers of loved ones with ME/CFS, Long COVID, and related illnesses, while warmly welcoming all caregivers.

If you’re longing for reflection, connection, or simply a place to exhale, this space is for you.

📩 Email me at kim@caregiverwisdom.net or DM me if you’d like to join us. We'd love to see you.
