Anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine?
I am 85 with small fiber neuropathy that is getting worse. My neurologist thought it would be a good idea for me to wait with the covid vaccine and not be first in line to see how it affected other people with neuropathy. Probably because it is a new technology. Has anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine? If so, which vaccine?

I am sorry you and your husband had to experience this!! Thank God you found a relief from your issue. There are so many people who have had terrible experiences related to Covid. I wish you continued success with relief!
I developed the same numbness of my mouth and throat shortly after taking my first vaccine but mine went away after I got home and took antihistamine. Now when I get a vaccine I make sure I take antihistamine afterwards.
I developed small nerve neuropathy at first I thought it was from actual covid but then looking back I thought wait I didn't start pins and needles throughout my body until after I had a vaccine. Doctors have been absolutely no help with any of the problems I've had with covid so sad
So sorry!! Yes, most physicians will dismiss vaccine injuries. I was fortunate to have several here, in Philadelphia, who validated me, as they saw others. I do hope, if you still are struggling, to go to a Neurologist.
Here they don't even acknowledge long covid I use that term they never use it or acknowledge it. They actual played the game my regular doctor sent me to neurologist they test me for neuropathy which was negative then send me back to the regular doctor then he the regular doctor sent me back to the neurologist I did that four times I'm done. They said you probably have small nerve neuropathy but we could test for it but it won't tell us where it's coming from. So here we are.
Wow!! So difficult!!
I guess the question is now, what are they doing to help you? Gabapentin, Nortriptyline, Acupuncture??? Do you live close to a metropolitan city?
So sorry you are being dismissed! Are they giving you any medicine, i.e., Gabapentin, Nortriptyline, Acupuncture?
Do you live near a Metropolitan City?
What type of magnesium does he take? I take magnesium citrate but unfortunately it hasn’t helped me with my neuropathy. If he found relief with another kind I’d like to try what he’s taking.
I use Frankencense oil on my feet and knees. It really helps.
I've suffering from pins and needles, stabbing pain and numbness in my feet for 2 and half years. Then my fingers were crippled. Finally after many tubes of blood - I have SLE - Lupus. Can you imagine being told you lupus at the age of 70. They believe it's from the vaccine and boosters which works on your auto immune system. Lupus can damage your nerves and the tissue surrounding your nerves. It will be you being checked for Lupus.
