I have had idiopathic neuropathy in both feet and legs up to my knees since April 2005. My pain is manageable (level 4-5) by taking Neurontin, tramadol and aleve. I also have post tinnitus in both ears, post vertigo and post balance issues that were caused by a concussion in late September 2022. I landed on the left side of my head and the symptoms started in varying degrees the next day - balance issues first, vertigo a week later and then tinnitus a week after that. I did PT and OT. for a month with some improvement. A month before I fell, I woke up one morning and had weird feelings all over from my knees up to the top of my head, down to my fingertips and all over my face including my lips (which just drives me crazy). I saw my doctor who did the pin pricks all over from the bottoms of my feet and up. I wore a blindfold so I couldn’t see her and what she was doing. Needless to say I didn’t feel anything. I remember asking her when was she going to start poking me? She answered that she was already done. During that time I had some symptoms of COVID, but tested negative so we don’t know what caused it to spread all of a sudden.
