Summary
Falcon 67993 developed peripheral neuropathy after a COVID infection in January 2024; it came in waves, flaring after long periods of standing or slow walking such as a museum visit or an airport security line. B12 made it go away most of the time and fish oil gave a bit of improvement, while nattokinase/serrapeptase did nothing. Vitamin D was started too recently to judge. Symptoms still returned occasionally by November 2025.
