Hi there @daliea.Welcome to the conversation, glad to have you join us. I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing neurological difficulties since your illness.

Have you heard of Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS)? It is a process that can upregulate the central nervous system and peripheral input sensory system causing many of the symptoms you describe.

Here is a discussion about CSS you may be interested in:

You may find this video about CSS helpful as well. It's presented by Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sletten. He explains how other diagnosis such as fibromyalgia and neuropathy fall under the CSS umbrella:

How long have you been having the symptoms you describe? Are you working with a neurologist or having any testing?

I had nerve conduction studies done and they were normal. I have been having these symptoms for over two years.It has progressed to the point where I have no quality of life.
