COVID vaccines and neuropathy

Posted by cue @cue, Feb 15, 2021

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?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Autoimmune is what I have.
Blood work for over three years elevated ANA, Sed Rate, CRP and complement c real high those are inflammatory markers. I have a list of labs that I had to have run buy the foundation of pn. I lost count of the tubes of blood after 10.

Had neuropathy long before the vaccines were on the scene. And sadly, have yet to find a cure or treatment.

I am so very sorry that you are suffering so much. It must be very frustrating trying to see a specialist with your healthcare system.
Go back to the primary and see if some of your stomach issues can be resolved. It is my understanding that Parkinson medication causes some issues in persons. Only a neurologist can diagnosis Parkinson's or any other neurological diseases. Is there any way you can see where you stand on the list?

Tengo neuropatía de fibras pequeñas que afectan los movimientos de mis piernas ,que no los puedo controlar. Camino con movimiento espasáticos pero no tengo el más mínimo dolor. Pero cada vez voy perdiendo más sensibilidad sobre todo en la planta del pie. Pero no es grave. Insisto , no tengo dolor. Esperé bastante para vacunarme y recibí dos dosis de Astra Séneca. No tuve ninguna reacción negativa. Pero debo confesar que me costó bastante convencerme de aplicarme la vacuna. Tenía temor de complicar mis problemas. Pero no fue así.

Yes, I got PN from the second Phizer Covid shot; same thing, my neurologist just told me to live with it & she was skeptical that the shot caused it. There are thousands more; but, I don’t believe it’s ever been recorded anywhere to show the shots can cause neuropathy!

I ended up with cardiac autonomic neuropathy also known as CAN a known side effect of the Covid shots according to my cardiologist and electrophsiologist. I have been given 8 to 10 years left to live. Four of the years are gone. Truthfully though only God knows when you’re going to die. My bradycardia/tachycardia did not respond to medication so they took me off the medication because it showed in the one month holter monitor test it had gotten worse. This started less than two weeks after my second shot and I lost bladdder control. You have nerves throughout your body. The Covid shots mess with your DNA. They have found the spike proteins in cadavers organs after they have passed away along with being in the brain tissue.

I have found that physicians are little or no help with neuropathy other than wanting to give me more tests and meds that come with side effects. However, recently I have been reading a lot on nutrition and neuropathy and have changed my diet by reducing sugars, gluten, sodium intake, processed foods and increasing omega rich fish and have noted a change in my feet for the good. While I will never cure this dumb disease I am encouraged that my symptoms have improved.

For now, I’m done with vaccines. I’ll take my chances. I’m hoping that over time, things will improve with my condition and the vaccine Itself. To be perfectly honest, I am not wearing a mask or avoiding public places either. Maybe I’m in denial. But I choose to engage in fun activities with my family and stay as healthy as I can with supplements and good food and exercise. 🙏🏻. All the best to you!!

I know it’s been a while but in case you’re still checking, can you tell me if you took two Covid vaccinations in total? curious after some things my doctor recently told me about the vaccines. The findings continue to be negative.
