Has there been any links found connecting Covid and Parkinson’s
I first was infected with Covid 2 years ago. I recovered after a week. Four months later was infected by long Covid. Now four months later, I’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s..
I was just wondering if anybody was doing research on a link between the two?
Some deal with patients who contract the virus while others explore the causality you suspect. Salon featured two articles on the subject, focusing on the last part. Sorry!

There are about 880 studies of the virus versus Parkinson's referenced here.

Yep. I would have to dig, but Covid neurological damage causes conditions very similar to Parkinson's and there's a big connection.
