Question for the #dude #bros out there: How do you keep your #wedding #ring from bothering you during #gaming activities? I often find my ring gives me some #nerve issues when Gaming™ or like laying on my left side in bed. I think it's more of a position thing that triggers it? I do have some nerve issues in my left arm anyway, so maybe there's nothing I can do. But I thought I'd ask.
A complementary drug to combat #Alzheimer’s disease could target a specific part of the #nerve cell protein tau.

It doesn't always have to be medication. Some health problems, from chronic #pain and #inflammation to #neurological diseases, can also be treated by #nerve stimulation, for example with the help of electrodes that are attached to the ear and activate the #vagus nerve.

The coronavirus may also be hiding out in long-lived #nerve cells and #heart muscle, where it may drive chest #pain, brain fog, #fatigue and other long-Covid symptoms, said Diane Griffin, a virologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore who has studied the body’s response to viral infections for more than 50 years.
“We have pretty good information from acute #RNA #virus infections that RNA does persist and that it does have consequences,” said Griffin, who is vice president of the US National Academy of Sciences. “Basically, it’s hard to get rid of viruses.”
Proving that persistent viral #infection causes long Covid will be difficult, Griffin said. Viruses in stealth mode suppress replication to avoid harming their host cells.
Despite extensive distribution of coronavirus RNA throughout patients’ bodies, Chertow’s team saw little evidence of inflammation or that the immune system had tried to destroy infected cells outside the respiratory tract.
