So I did all these labs.

Amyloid, normal.

Well, first it came back, my tau was high.

Both tau numbers high.

I do not fit the profile at all for cognitive decline.

I've got one copy of the APOE4 gene, but like metabolically, I'm super fit, healthy.

I've got nothing.

And so I was freaking out.

I'm getting the lab results as they come in and I get that one first.

And I'm thinking, this makes zero sense.

Like what is going on here?

How is my tau?

I know what tau is.

Why is it elevated?

Zero sense.

Then my SARS-CoV-2 spike comes in sky high.

And I thought I had COVID about a month before the test.

amyloid then so i'm feeling better okay i've heard that this is a thing people have covid there's a temporary spike in tau ab4240 normal nfl normal hsc part hscrp normal uh mpo all normal so i'm feeling better and so i've heard from a lot of doctors that

they're seeing a lot of people come back with no symptoms at all ages with very high tau.

And the working theory, we're learning about this on the fly that COVID's a part of life now, but there's systemic neuroinflammation where it may not manifest itself in symptoms, but it shows up as elevated p-tau.
