THEM: How have you been?

ME: Pretty good, not bad. Trapped in a prison of my own making. Struggling with demons from my past. Feeling the weight of the world. Questioning every decision. Obsessing over things I cannot control. Losing sleep. You know, same old same old. You?

#LongCovid and peripheral neuropathy

"Peripheral Neuropathy Evaluations of Patients With Prolonged Long COVID"
"Among evaluated patients with long COVID, prolonged, often disabling, small-fiber neuropathy after mild SARS-CoV-2 was most common, beginning within 1 month of COVID-19 onset. Various evidence suggested infection-triggered immune dysregulation as a common mechanism."
