You’re welcome. Thank you for your kind words. I’m happy that your symptoms are improving and hoping that your next EMG will show improvement in your nerve health. My doctor’s theory is that the damage to my nerves happened in the Myelin Sheath, which is a protective insulation around the nerves, more so than the “wiring” part of nerves themselves.
We did discuss a possible resurgence of the neuropathy from a case of Covid. I would take Paxlovid as a treatment and if any neuropathy symptoms began, she would definitely start me on a short term course of steroids to stop my immune system from going out of control. The sooner the symptoms would be addressed, the better the chance would be of limiting that inflammatory response that probably caused the neuropathy. Good luck.

Thank you. That's very helpful information. Do you mind sharing the state where you live? Your doctor seems fantastic!

Hi, I had Covid in August - took Plaxovid (5 days). On the 6th day the left side of my face became numb starting with my earlobe. The numbness has spread up and down the left side of my body. My B12 was 203 so I'm taking supplements.
None of my doctors offered steroids as a way to stem the progression. I have Pulmonary Sarcoid and MAC as well. Nerve conduction test is next week.
