Hello @jlander, Welcome to Connect. I have small fiber peripheral neuropathy and just received my COVID vaccine (Pfizer) last week and have the second one scheduled for Feb 26th. The only reaction I had was the arm was a little sore the first night but I've had no other symptoms. There is another specific discussion for erythromelalgia where you can meet others with the same condition and share your experience and learn what others have shared.

John, Thank you so much for your information and including the link. Like many, I have been at a loss of where to get information. In 2018, a Neurologist defined my problem as EM. My primary doctor at the time did not know much about EM, and he has since retired. My current primary doctor seems to know a little more. No one in my family, that I knew of, had EM. For me, it just showed up one day. I am glad to hear your COVID vaccine experience has gone well.

My symptoms did not arise till 1 week after the second shot, it gave me polyneuropathy

Hello John I was wondering how was your experience after the second jab of Covid-19 vaccination.

I am having CINP, I’ll be glad to hear experiences on this.

Thank you
