I don't think being tall causes neuropathy in any way, but it makes sense that being tall would mean the nerves are longer would require more healing time. I am tall as well (5'9")

I commented on the vaccine in another forum too. There isn't much evidence for it and even the VAERS database doesn't have many claims. But it makes sense if you're body overreacts and starts attacking the cells, provoking something autoimmune.
I know this is awful to say but I'm glad you were able to diagnose it with a positive EMG finding. Ideally, it would be nice if no one had it. But at least you pinpointed the system involved. Now for the healing!
