Hi @joeyd5641, Welcome to Connect. I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy but only have numbness in the feet and part of the legs for symptoms. I've never heard of neuropathy going dormant. Mostly it just keeps getting worse unless they find the cause of the pinched or damaged nerves and are able to correct/fix it. I'm sorry you are having an adverse reaction to the 2nd COVID shot.

Are you able to share a little more about your neuropathy diagnosis and how or when it was diagnosed?

@joey5641. How is your neuropathy now after the 2nd covid shot and if you are feeling pain, where is it? Thanks much. Jen

I find that cold packs help and heat flares it worse. I take lyrica for the nerve pain which helps but has it's own set of side effects. massaging the lumps also help.

Hi, sorry to hear about the aftermath of the second shot! How are you feeling now? Did symptoms get better? I keep delaying my second shot.. wasn’t feeling too great after the first one! Thank you for sharing

Hi have your symptoms improved? I got symptoms three weeks after the first pfizer shot. I have burning in thighs and face. some needles in my arms hands and legs It seems like every day I get a little more. I have already postponed the second shot twice. My neurologist suggested today that I go for the second shot. I'm not convinced.

Oh no. This scares me. My pine is not dormant. I don’t want to make it worse.

Oh my! I am so sorry. I am worried now.

Hi Joey.
I had my first shot 4 days ago, it brought pin and needles. I am worried of having the second dose. How do you feel now?

The CDC is very clear that if you have side affects from the first shot, you should not get the second. Just saying for other people. Are you okay now? I hope all is we..
