Are my symptoms actually VM or something else?

Other than a neurologist, what other doctors have you seen/worked with? Are you taking an antiviral medication like valacyclovir for your HSV2? That virus stays with you for life and lives in your nervous system and gets reactivated with stress, illness, etc. It is important to manage triggers and reactivation of the virus to minimize symptoms. The virus can definitely mess with your central and peripheral nervous system.
Have you seen an ENT, eye, gastrointestinal, immunologist and dietitian/nutritionist to help you with testing/treatment options? Have you had extensive bloodwork beyond testing for flu/HSV2 to see if anything else shows up abnormal?

I booked an appointment with immunologist and seeing her in two weeks for evaluation, i did see an eye doctor but she believed it was dry eyes and prescribed eye drops which didnt do anything, i made another appointment with another eye doctor and will ask for blue light precription lenses. My ent is the one that refferred me to the neurologist that i saw but will loook into a different one specializing with movement disorders. I have a appointment with gastro for a followup as i had giardis lambili last month. thats all so far im seeing another internal medicine doctor tomorrow and doing another bloodwork with him. I'm not taking any antivirals for hsv2 but will ask him for regular prescription as im starting to believe there might be a connection between hsv and my symptoms and possibly long covid.
