I think we need the brain cells more than neurotypicals do actually.

I think I got it too, I wish it were like a flu and I could sneeze it on to some unsuspecting person and pass it on (I know just the person I'd give it to) but sadly it doesn't work like that. It's like having the flu for life and while it's not contagious, it does infect people in close proximity. Im in quarantine right now....I've had to ask my loved ones to not come visit.....I don't want them to see me like this ....to remember this part of me, or to infect them.

I'm glad you are improving and hope that trend continues for you.
