@joanland How do you know you have long Covid? I thought there are no definitive tests yet. I have idiopathic polyneuropathy and now wonder whether there is a correlation between my neuropathy and one of my two Covid infections. Have to look into the timeline.

I have always been active. Tennis, golf, skiing, swimming laps. But now I have PN & had it cor several years after getting the 2 covid shots & having Covid twice. Did Covid or the shots cause PN in both feet & lower legs? It's getting worse for balance. Is there any hope for improvement?

You are absolutely correct: there is no test to prove Long-COVID. My symptoms simply check enough boxes that the diagnosis is likely correct. Fortunately, the neurologist I see has spent time working on COVID and Long-COVID as a researcher before going back to practice neurology. So she's seen both PN and Long-COVID. I have had PN for a good many years prior to having one bout of COVID in 2023.
