Robert Chopra, a 72-year-old retired history...
Robert Chopra, a 72-year-old retired history professor, was an avid reader and chess player until a gradual 'fuzziness' descended. He'd lose the plot of novels, make uncharacteristic errors in chess, and feel mentally 'muffled.' This followed a mild, resolved case of COVID-19 a year prior. Concerned it was early dementia, his daughter insisted on a neurology consult. Dr. Ahmed found no signs of neurodegeneration but identified post-viral inflammatory markers affecting cognitive function. She recommended the 'Fuzzy Thinking' procedure: a combination of anti-inflammatory infusions and focused transcranial magnetic stimulation to 'reset' affected neural pathways. Robert was skeptical but hopeful. The intravenous infusions were straightforward, and the brain stimulation felt like light tapping. During recovery, he engaged in prescribed cognitive puzzles. Within two months, his clarity returned. He finished a complex biography and beat his grandson at chess again. Emotionally, he moved from a deep, quiet despair and fear of losing his intellectual life to joyful gratitude, feeling reconnected to the world of ideas he loved.
