Hi,
I’ve had a lot of weakness, balance, dizziness and problems with something similar to neuropathy. Not sure that I have an actual neuropathy diagnosis but taking Neurontin, doing PT and ST and seeing slow but steady improvements. I have mostly no extremity pain but have vibratory and strange feelings in my extremities. Cognitive issues make it hard to think and walk at the same time with my mind not easy to focus and balance requires me to focus or fall. I have no ankle reflexes but otherwise reflexes are normal. MRI and EMG show old problems with nerve root damage and spinal stenosis but I knew about that stuff before COVID and I was on top of it. Now, I’m sort of feeling like COVID has kicked my butt and somehow all these other things are more of a problem too now. I had COVID 6 months ago. Good luck to you with the neuropathy. Neurontin helps me some but high level PT helps me more.

Welcome @justified1, Sorry to hear you developed neuropathy symptoms after having COVID. You might find some other helpful information for your neuropathy symptoms at the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy's site here -- https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.
Have you discussed the brain fog and blurry vision side effects with your doctor to see if they may have some alternative suggestions?
