I too had a vitamin D deficiency and it contributed to me having peripheral neurothapy. I will say that I have improved since I quit the prescription they gave me, and went and bought over the counter D3. It seems to be much more effective for me.

I was recently diagnosed with a severe vitamin D deficiency. My symptoms have been very much like PCS - dizziness, debilitating fatigue, inability to think straight, spaciness, headaches, aches and pains etc. Initially, I thought that the PCS had come back. I'm now on a three month prescription dose of D3 to bring my levels up to normal.
So if you are able to request a blood test (not sure how it works in the US) it could be worth getting your vitamin D levels checked. It seems to me that having the correct level would help some of the symptoms perhaps?
