i have never heard the term latency used for a symptom before either. can you explain?

Sorry for the odd term. I'm in IT so it was the best way I could come up with to describe it.

It's like everything works, but just feels a little "slower" than normal. If that makes sense.

I obviously haven't ruled out arthritis (as another poster suggested) but has felt unlikely it would manifest itself in both hands and both feet at the same time and in the same way. I have arthritis in my knee (from multiple ACL reconstructions) and it's quite a bit different - including actual pain rather than just sluggishness.

Anyway, more or less trying to find others out there with the same sort of journey. Keeping an eye on things in the interim and hoping for improvement.

i think you are right, i don't think that it would manifest at the same time in the same way with both hands and feet.

My advice is not to get any more jabs!! REALLY. Just have a look at the various govt health websites for averse effects. Vaers, Yellow Car, Eurdra . Thousands hit with nerve conditions, blood clots etc. My neuropathy is bad and one bit of that experimental MRNA would take me out, for sure.

Hi everyone! Wanted to share an update on this.

Since about mid to early May, I've mostly gotten back to 'normal.' It's clear I had some sort of neurological injury (I suspect related to immuno-response from the vax or from COVID) and the healing process from that has just been lengthy. What I ultimately felt helped speed things along was getting into a gym routine that specifically worked my hands and wrists, especially the right one.

As recently as a few months ago, the coordination or sense of latency in my right hand was such I had trouble manipulating my phone without using my left hand to help. But after steady wrist and hand work, including 'nerve flossing' exercises and using a gripper my right hand is basically as good as my left again.

I still have a slight tremor on occasion in my right foot but am attempting to find the right exercise/PT approach to addressing it.

Hope this helps or encourages someone!

This thread is a bit old but I'm starting to think I'm in the same boat. I thought it was alcohol related but from what I've read I wasn't near enough to cause nerve damage. I started getting tingling and numbness on my left side a few months after my booster shot. While that is a long time after to get symptoms from what I've seen it's not impossible and I'm not the only one in that boat. The symptoms since then have been random numbness, tingling in my left leg, arm, and sometimes face, some weird heart rate spikes (possibly anxiety related honestly). I did get covid a month after which seemed to make symptoms worse. These days with cooler weather my main symptom is really cold/burning feet and occasionally hands. The tingling has died down and is much less intense and the numbness isn't as often. Bloodwork, MRI of brain, emg/ncs all clear. Haven't done a skin biopsy yet and with the symptoms not worsening and actually slightly improving I'm not in a hurry. Should things worsen I will but for now even though it's up and down day by day the overall trend is improving. I'm only 5 months in and I've seen stories of people having similar issues and their neurologists saying it's probably not nerve damage and just irritation or inflammation causing this that will resolve in a year or two which make sense.

Forgive the rambling but hoping a year in symptoms will resolve here as well. Thankfully I'm able to exercise and that usually helps reduce the symptoms quite a bit. If the dizziness is too much I can always stop but it really does make me feel better. I've had quite a few bad days during this and thankfully the days where my body feels like it's buzzing and I feel dizzy/nauseous are becoming less and less. Just sucks that any alcohol really brings out the burning feet for some time although that could be coincidental since it's off and on anyway. But if it's nerve irritation it would make sense that booze would irritate it further. Anyway I'm hopeful that a year or two in and it will heal. I've had a lot of the bad stuff ruled out so the health anxiety is for sure lessoning and not just compounding my problems.

Too bad you had COVID, gooilers. Aren't there some neurological problems caused by COVID? Maybe some of your current difficulties are connected to the COVID you had?

But it sounds as if you're slowly but surely improving and are willing to let time do most of the healing. That seems to be the way to go with quite a few neurological disorders--just let time pass and trust that some of the symptoms will go away. Or that you'll find ways of dealing with them, like avoiding things that trigger them.

I hope you don't mind if I piped up here on this forum even though I'm no authority on peripheral neuropathy. I have it but it's diabetes-related--I don't know much about the other types.
