It is incredible just how many secondary conditions it brings out. I’ve been following the uptick in autoimmune diabetes (t1) as the pandemic wears on, I am among the people who were diagnosed in that timeframe so this is partially a selfish interest.

But again I’m struck by just how many things get brought on, I get that it is an incredibly challenging disease for the body to handle and it seems to get into so many systems from the brain to the endocrine. We will be seeing new articles about these things and long covid for a long time it seems

To be fair, autoimmune diseases have upticks after pretty much any widespread viral illness. It’s something we’ve known about, but now we’re seeing it on a new scale because so many people have been infected with this one.

I had Graves disease - a thyroid autoimmune disease almost immediately after the pandemic hit. Perfectly healthy, no history of it in my family, then boom - 3 years of my life effectively ruined. I don't think it's a coincidence at all.

I have Graves too but I got it pre-pandemic. Was perfectly healthy and boom here we go. I think I had a weird virus first, flu-like symptoms but not the flu.

CornishCucumber t1_it3k9yx wrote

Now you mention it... Exactly the same as me. In the UK - had some kind of flu about 2 months before the pandemic. I had flu like symptoms around the Christmas time (November I think). Diagnosed with Graves 2 months later.

I'm curious about how much of this will be unique to COVID-19. A friend of mine has long covid, with substantially reduced energy and all that, which was severe for over 6 months after he got out of the hospital... on oxygen for 4 weeks.

Any severe infection or injury is going to have various long-term effects, and we already know that many viruses can cause a lot of these knock on effects.

This isn't to minimize the effects of covid, but rather to advise that we shouldn't be dismissing the next pandemic just because it's not killing people in the short term. Balancing short term pain for society against millions of people with lifelong effects from the disease is difficult, but there has to be one.

Its because its such a generalist disease. Most people have been referring to it as just another respiratory disease for most of the pandemic, but its entry receptor is all over the body in particular vascular cells and epithelial cells. Anything that affects the vascular system has the potential to affect everything.

I hope we get one that explores a possible risk stratification for serious outcomes from covid-19 with varying intakes of added sugars (sucrose, fructose and high fructose corn syrup)

The average American consumes around 57 pounds of sweeteners per year. Added sugars including sucralose and aspartame have been found to be Pro-inflammatory and could very well take a large part of the blame for the covid-19 "cytokine storms" described in the literature.

>Fructose pathway involved in oxidative stress and inflammation. In the hepatocyte, fructose sugar is rapidly metabolized by KHK, depleting ATP and resulting in uric acid accumulation. Uric acid activates NADPH oxidase with production of ROS, which activates mitochondrial ROS production and stimulates UPR in ER. ER stress may also activate mitochondrial ROS production and vice versa. Moreover, ER stress contributes to progression of hepatic steatosis activating lipogenic genes via PERK, ATF4, and IRE1 and inducing SREBP-1c that increases the activity of ACC and FAS. As a response of excessive oxidative stress, inflammatory and apoptotic pathways are activated through JNK, NFkB, and CHOP, resulting in an increased production of cytokines (IL1ß, TNFa, IL19), which plays an important role in the development of NASH.

Recently started acupuncture for tendinitis in my arm that has been extremely resistant to treatment for ongoing 3 months now. Can’t get past the pain. Dr put me on a keto diet for 2 wks to jumpstart decreasing the inflammation in all of my body due to sugar. The only time I actively put sugar in anything was the 2 tsp in my morning coffee, then water all day. I don’t even have a sweet tooth. But everything else I’ve been consuming has so much added sugar! Products that are labeled light have more added sugar than full fat products. There is so much more, it’s been eye opening and I’m already feeling a difference. This has made me getting Covid as I am right now an even bigger fear.

I'm so happy to hear a Dr. that's willing to say that! So many of them mindlessly believe what they're taught in school which in many cases is antiquated or outright false information. It warms my heart to hear that!

If you don't partake in marijuana already, try a THC tincture. Make sure it's full spectrum and isn't flavored. I had inflammation which I saw great improvement in when I started. CBD can work too, but it isn't as strong and the effects don't last as long, at least in my personal experience.

If you're easily addicted to things, stick with cbd.

Indica every night for sleep. It does help with the pain until I fall asleep as well but the straight CBD tincture hasn’t worked as well for me and being stoned all day isn’t an option for me. I didn’t notice any obvious improvement with the inflammation anyway. The herbs the Dr has me on taste pretty horrendous but have helped considerably already.

I take it before bed and I don't ever feel high. It only takes 25mL of the full spectrum tincture to get results. Music will sound a little nicer, but no head rush unless I overdo it with like 75mL.

I have a coworker who developed diabetes from covid as well, it's not being managed well mostly because her doctor is a moron and she hangs on his every word. She does not need to use insulin as far as I know. Is there any specific treatment you've been doing? Any advice I could pass on?

Dawrin t1_isw3zu1 wrote

I think that most people could appreciate the care and effort from somebody else wishing the best for them, but I personally (and many of the folks from /r/diabetes_t1) wouldn’t appreciate somebody suggesting how they should improve on managing their new disease. Everyone goes through the adjustment process differently and that honestly could be more of a setback.

But I will say I was misdiagnosed as t2 for several months until I visited with an endocrinologist who ordered the right tests to differentiate between the two (c Peptide to determine insulin production and an antibody test to determine autoimmunity).

Now I don’t know what your relationship with your coworker is, but I wouldn’t say anything unless they asked for any input. I understand the frustration of seeing somebody not doing well in managing their issues but this is really a “they need to help themselves before you can help them”.

As someone who caught it twice (in spite of vaccines), it affected my cognitive function for about three months post infection. Between feeling uncertain if memories were actually real/dreams, forgetting what I was saying constantly, and a major inability to focus - I became pretty depressed. I assume the high anxiety and depression people with long COVID have comes from both the symptoms and the mechanisms of COVID.

A little anecdote, my fiance has fairly severe schizophrenia, but is very well treated and managed. When she got covid, she caught it while outside wearing a mask. Her covid symptoms were horrible and she probably should have gone to the hospital (but she didn't). She also gets sick alllllll the time, covid aside. Only an anecdote but it was related to your posed question.

We have all had a schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis within the last two years (me schizoaffective, spouse full blown schizophrenia, child won’t be labeled until over 18 but already on same meds and receiving same treatment). 22 year old schizoaffective.

There is a second period of schizophrenia onset for women, at perimenopause just like at end of puberty (the drop in hormones and the possible protection against schizophrenia from estrogen) It’s not super rare, and it is also a viable possibility absent Covid. I may never know.

I mean exactly what I originally stated though; I’m just curious where this research will lead and what it might mean for families like my own.

No family history on my side of any psychotic or delusional disorders, but lots of cluster A (anxiety, ocd, etc) and dopamine disorders (adhd, Parkinson’s, narcolepsy).

There is so much that is subjective or overlaps about the various diagnoses it’s kind of hard to suss out what is what.

chrisdh79 OP t1_issimix wrote

From the article: A new study published in Psychiatry Research suggests that experiencing a serious case of COVID-19 is associated with increased risk of developing schizophrenia.

COVID-19 has had massive effects on society and many individuals’ health that will continue for years to come. In addition to serious physical health outcomes, it has been shown to be linked to declines in mental health that come from neuropsychological effects of the disease. COVID-19 can affect the nervous system, metabolism, and brain function. Despite our increasing knowledge of the negative effects of COVID-19, people have begun a return to normalcy and society has lifted mask mandates.

For their new study, Ancha Baranova and colleagues utilized data from two Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). This included one for the SARS-CoV-2 infection and one for hospitalized COVID-19 cases. Datasets included 122,616 cases of SARS, 32,519 cases of COVID-19, and 53,386 cases of schizophrenia, in addition to controls for each group.

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a type of genetic research that looks for associations between genes and particular traits or conditions. Often, GWAS research is used to identify genes that may be involved in certain diseases.

The data allowed the researchers to examine the topic using the Mendelian randomization framework, a research method that uses genetic variation to study the relationship between exposures and outcomes. By comparing the effects of different variants of a gene, researchers can identify which exposures are associated with which outcomes. This approach has several advantages over traditional observational studies. First, it can help to control for confounding variables. Second, it can provide insight into causal relationships.

When did environment become a factor in schizophrenia? I thought it was a brain chemistry thing.

HelenofReddit t1_isuo4tl wrote

It's both. There are loads of different factors that determine whether someone will develop schizophrenia. Many studies show that a genetic liability to the disease combined with being in a stressful environment (think neglect, severe trauma, drug abuse, etc.) can lead it to manifest. They call it a "gene by environment" interaction, or "epigenetic" effects. Here's an article from the NHS that breaks it down.

To be clear though, I don't think there's evidence that schizophrenia the disorder can develop if you don't have any genetic risk factors whatsoever (though there are so many likely working together that it's truly hard to know if you do or not). I also think it's possible to develop schizophrenia with the genes alone and without any obvious environmental factors. As someone pointed out below, there appears to be scientific consensus that non-genetic factors are necessary for schizophrenia to develop.

My uncle and a cousin both developed schizophrenia when they hit puberty. My uncle killed himself, while my cousin tried to kill his sisters when he was 14 with a knife so has been away since...he's now 64. Their lives were very stressful. Lots of neglect and abuse by their fathers. My uncle went into the Navy and was severely hazed. After he came out of the service he wasn't the same. Lasted into his 30s. He used to see witches. My grandmother was the worst mother to him and my grandpa was a WWII vet who once told my mother while she was on her period that she could only use two pieces of toilet paper. The stress from their lives definitely pushed them into it. Also of note, they both have celiac disease which is massively inflammatory. My grand mother is in her 90s, still mean as hell, and they have her on psych meds for bipolar/schizophrenia (they're used for both). It took her until her 80s for anyone to do anything about it. It doesn't really help her behavior though.

scavenger5 t1_iswfexl wrote

Doesn't seem like very strong data.

First off, covid does not cause schizophrenia. From the study: " our results did not support a causal effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on this psychiatric disease."

Second, they only associate hospitalization of covid with schizophrenia. It's not controlled though, so perhaps other confounders that cause covid hospitalization also cause schizophrenia (like poor self care, poor hygiene, smoking, etc). Its not far fetched to think that those who are more likely to be hospitalized are more likely to get mentally ill.

Lastly, the effect was an 11% increased risk of schizophrenia. So if .4% is the odds of getting schizophrenia, covid hospitalization increases the risk to .44%, or a .04% increase. And covid hospitalization is easily preventable with vaccines and self care.

In summary: covid doesn't cause schizophrenia. People who get hospitalized with covid are more likely to get schizophrenia. Good chance of confounders, like smoking or poor self care. Nothing to be concerned about.
