Long COVID neuropathy symptoms

I had nerve pain about 3 months after covid, affecting face and legs. It lasted several weeks, long enough to consult a neurologist, who was unable to help. This was early 2020 when we did not know a lot about neurological damage covid can cause. The nerve pain eventually went away on its own after a few months. I cannot comment on cymbalta. As far as long covid clinics - may depend on what there is in your area, or if you find a good one to travel to. I am also looking for a good post covid doctor or clinic to connect with. After 3 years of long covid I now have epilepsy.

If you haven't yet, you might consider getting tested for celiac (celiac blood panel). You have to be still eating wheat (gluten) for the test to be accurate. At least with celiac disease, gluten can trigger seizures and is associated with neuropathy. Covid has resulted in celiac or gluten intolerance for some and going off gluten is easier than higher doses of keppra or dilantin.

After a month of heavy covid symptoms I finally test neg. I have numb feet mouth and throat..my throat forgets how to swallow and my oxygen drops to 80's!!!
My Dr. Just looks at me!
