@joanland if you Google the topic it is everywhere. It seems Covid and to a lesser extend the Covid vaccine have caused issues. It is also suggested that Covid verses neuropathy is more dangerous so get the vaccine. I have PN right at 2nd vaccine but it may be caused by something else but after many many many Dr visits from GP to gurus that have no idea. So on we go.

@joanland Peripheral neuropathy is frequently reported in long COVID patients.
• In a cohort of patients with long COVID (persistent symptoms ≥3 months), nearly 59% showed evidence of peripheral neuropathy when formally evaluated with skin biopsies and nerve testing: https://www.massgeneral.org/news/press-release/does-nerve-damage-contribute-to-long-covid

• Another large analysis of 977 long COVID patients found ~55% reported neuropathic symptoms, with small fiber neuropathy confirmed in over half of tested cases. Notably this study found association with anti-ganglioside antibodies, which supports an immune-mediated mechanism: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40093251/
