I have the same issues in addition to the GI issues I mentioned in a different post. Long COVID is attacking my autonomic nervous system. Nerve Conduction studies did not show the issue, but a skin biopsy showed I have small fiber neuropathy. The long COVID clinic ordered the biopsy and diagnosed me. I have CRPS in my foot which is worst case scenario of neuropathy. I am on Cymbalta and Gabapentin to help with the pain caused by this. I still have issues with pain and my hands always feel stiff, swollen and sore. I drop things. However, the medicine does mitigate some of the pain. I have been told I will always have pain and the best I can hope for is a reduction of 50% of the pain.

I too have Small Fiber Neuropathy in both of my feet up into calves. …worst is my feet though and it is thought to be brought on by LHC. On Gabapentin for pain. I take a Whole Foods Garlic supplement as it is a natural blood thinner. The thought is that the COVID spike proteins are accumulated in my feet causing the neuropathy. The blood thinning slowly helps break them up. It does help, but painfully slowly. Been taking it twice a day for 2 months now. I also take NAC which may be helping it as well, though I’ve been taking it about a month longer. I didn’t notice a difference in my feet until I added the garlic. I have to take it with food or it upset my stomach. I also massage my feet for at least a half hour a day while I watch tv and that seems to be helping.
