@lia I think the only thing I can say that is helpful is staying as rested and anxiety free as possible. I use over the counter anti inflammatories such as aleve or ibuprofen from time to time and although they may provide a bit of relief it’s not significant or consistent. Staying stress free is difficult since the condition itself has caused a huge amount of anxiety. I had a few bad months where I was convinced that I was in the first stages of either MS or ALS or Parkinson’s. Fortunately the tests and neuro visits have ruled all of that out and at this point the only logical conclusion is that my symptoms are vaccine related. I got the Pfizer vaccine and my symptoms started the next day. On the advice of 2 docs, I did go ahead with the 2nd dose 3 weeks later. Looking back I few like it’s pretty surprising they advised me to go ahead with the 2nd dose. Fortunately things did not get worse after 2nd dose.
