Post covid neuropathy/bfs?

I have has severe muscle fasciculations all over my body for the last 5 months now. I often describe it like a Christmas tree with lights constantly flashing everywhere. There is no pain, just continuously annoying muscle twitching from my calves, upper legs, ribs, chest, stomach, arms, hands and face. It tends to be less noticeable when I am busy, but I still notice it even if I am doing things like playing golf. I also get hand tremors that are accentuated if I do moderate physical activities, like washing the car and get fatigued doing minor physical exertion. Thankfully my neurologist is leaning towards BFS, after ruling out the MS, Tumors, ALS, Parkinsons as all tests have been normal to date.
But it has left me wondering about any connection to the Pfizer vaccine booster that I had in April. I have also read about a lady that suffering from Aura Headaches (kaleidoscope vision), which I have had a few since having my first Pfizer jab in 2021 and definitely having an experienced one since April. My neurologist is sending me off for more bloods and referral to another neuro specialist.

Have you been checked for Myasthnia Gravis? I was recently diagnosed with this.

I have been dealing with the same symptoms since August 2023. Started with muscle fasciculations all over my body. I also have hand tremors as well. I have had several emg's by 3 different neurologists and they have all come back saying BFS. Recently, I am getting muscle pain which I have not had before. All blood work is normal and I strongly believe it was initially started with my Moderna shot in May 2021 and symptoms started to progress each month. I caught Covid in May 2022 and believe the combination of vax and covid put my nervous system into over drive. All doctors have said it's anxiety but I am not buying it. Have you found any relief or have symptoms changed for you since your last post?
