Covid - Anyone have neuropathy get worse after having Covid?

Hello @hray1948 - We added to your title to let members know a little more about your discussion question. I've had COVID twice after I had 3 COVID vaccines. Fortunately having COVID never made my neuropathy worse but there are others who mention have more or worse symptoms. I did a search of Connect using "neuropathy worse after covid".

@johnbishop
Thank you.

Yes, my neuropathy pains have increased crucially after virus infections, both corona and influenza this January. Crippling pains after any kind of muscle activation in my legs.

I can only stand for a few seconds, interestingly I am sort of fine on my knees. So, I try to keep going on my knees as much as I can.

To sum up:
Symptoms defitenely worsened after virus infections.

I developed AIDP Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy after Covid. I have had it over a year, so it probably has gone into the chronic state or CIDP. Haven't found anything to successfully treat it.

@pennycurious1 yes! That was my experience too! It was bad for a a week to ten days. Then it came back to original level of pain.

I had very serious case of pneumonia-covid. Did not know what year it was (said 1958 not 2025!) and hospitalized. Upon returning home, my neuropathy was worse. I slipped and fell and broke my hip. That did not help my neuropathy, to say the least, and now will have to see how it works out over time. My advice for the winter season, wear a mask when out and be careful.

My neuropathy worsened after having COVID shots!!!!! Within in days after having the shots.
