Restless leg and weird walking after long covid

Hi. I caught covid in 2024 then again in 2025. The first time I had it i experienced the worst rls (restless leg syndrome) it was constant for the first few days, my leg muscles became sore from constantly moving. Since then I developed a weird sensation when i walk. It’s a mixture of vertigo and a feeling of staggering. It seems to be worse when I’m stressed and in busy environments. I’ve never suffered with rls at all before i got covid and its been constant ever since. I’ve had every blood test there is, ecg, blood pressure tests and lastly an mri. All came back normal. I’ve recently noticed an increase in body jerks as well which seem to sound similar to myoclonus. I’ve tried all the obvious vitamins/supplements.magnesium, b12, vit d, iron and others and nothing helps. I’m wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar and if they have any advice? Thanks!
