Symptoms of Neuropathy, Fatigue, Tinnitus, M-Spike

Posted by billwb @billwb, May 3, 2023

I am 61 years old and have been a healthy and active person all my life. Within short period of time I came down with symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, peripheral neuropathy, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and what is called M-Spike a little over a year ago. The neuropathy in my feet is what bothers me the most and cannot find any real help. Taking Gabapentin, but really does not help too much. I am convinced it had something to do with the Covid vaccine and was wondering if anyone has experienced the same type of symptoms and have diagnosis being related to Covid vaccines?

Boy, these symptoms sure sound familiar! I am a nurse anesthetist and back in 2020 COVID pandemic
time I was required to get the COVID vaccine and I did without question. Twenty minutes after the injection I started having numbness and tingling in my lower extremities and after about three months tinnitus developed in my left ear. IT TOOK almost 2 years to finally get the diagnosis of CIDP and at one point in time I was unable to walk up stairs and also had difficulty walking period.
Today things have improved but still disabled and unable to work at a job I love. May currently receive IVIg infusions every two weeks, take ALA, gabapentin, and prednisone daily. I am currently doing much better.
One thing I can’t express enough is that today everyone needs to be their own advocate, do research and I mean read peer review articles not just information from goggle…….. communicate what you read with your provider and ask questions………we may never be at a point that we were prior to the vaccine but any improvement is good. Everyone take care of yourself.
