Dear @johnbishop, thanks for such a kind & quick reply. I will definitely peruse the sites you mentioned, especially the one on planning doctors' visits as this is something I've been thinking about a lot lately.
My neuropathy symptoms started before receiving a COVID vaccine so I'm confident they're not the root cause. They did flare up again around-ish the time I received my first dose, but my honest inclination is that that was coincidence though I'm not sure. Perhaps a couple weeks after my dose I went from a fairly normal period to a bad one.
However, I've actually received a total of four doses (I was abroad initially & got revaxxed here). For the other 3 I didn't notice anything getting better or worse. & even with the first dose, as I said, you have to stretch the timing a bit to make a connection.
My current thinking after reading this forum is the best name medical science has for this is "post viral neuropathy" as opposed to something more specific, but of course it would be great if my doctor could guide me more.
