Hi @celia16
Thank you for sharing your story. Can you please remind me how long it took for your symptoms to go away?Whatever the cause was, it's great that it was self resolved.
My B12 was normal high when tested, but I haven't been tested for B6. I didn't have any recent infection of any kind when this happened. My A1C has always been around 5.4-5.6, and I had gestational diabetes for both of my kids. I also have hypothyroidism as a result of Graves disease treatment 20 years ago. I think those are my risk factors, but not sure which one is the cause.
The diagnosis process is gonna be long, and getting used to my new normal is not fun. At some point, I will have to accept it and move on.

It seems many people don’t get the answer why they have the neuropathy. It’s just unknown. And, the treatments are mainly to address the pain. That’s why I feel fortunate to have several things that could have caused mine. At least I could address it.
It’s been about 17 months since I had Covid. About 9 months since Vitamin B12 mega doses per my neurologist, And, 6 months since a1c lowered substantially. I have felt the improvement gradually over the last 5 months. I have no idea if it will continue to improve or return.
Best wishes to you on your quest.
