Welcome @joepdx, I have PN but not due to COVID since it was 40+ years ago. While you wait for others members to respond I thought you might want to scan through the many other discussions members have started on "COVID and neuropathy" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/.

Have you been diagnosed with PN or seen a neurologist? Have treatments been suggested to help with the PN symptoms?

@johnbishop thank you - yes I have seen neurologist and we have done a ton of blood work to eliminate other causes of symptoms. Just wrapping up a 12 day prednisone taper today to address possible immune related response. Neurologist thinks that my Covid infection back in September 2025 had my immune system primed and the shots got everything hyper excited in my nervous system. Besides feet and ankle pain, my tongue has also been tingly as well. Doing all the self-care things (getting decent sleep since my symptoms seem to calm down at night, taking nerve supplements, eliminated alcohol and eating healthy). Hoping with time, PN symptoms will reduce but have seen lots of people dealing with PN years after COVID or Covid vaccine.
