CBC is platforming unproven pseudoscientific brain retraining programs for #LongCOVID. In reality, some people recover others do not, no matter what they try.
This approach lays the blame on patients who don't get better because they're not trying hard enough.

Procedure was straightforward with no unexpected adverse effects.
Some heaviness on the left side of my face.
No crash (yet haha)
Told not to expect much from the first shot & that the second & third would reveal any possible benefit.
