I am not sure of the type of neuropathy I have. It is in my feet and now moving to my hands. I received both shots (Moderna) and I felt a little sore and very fatigued for 2 days after the first shot, and had a low-grade fever, chills, and fatigue for three days after the 2nd shot. I did notice that after the second shot my sugars ran high for about 12 days. So far, so good. On a side note, I am getting a spinal stimulator put in my back on Monday to help with the foot neuropathy. Hopefully, it helps!

Hello @fortinclan, Welcome to Connect. It sounds like the side effects you had from the Moderna vaccine shots were not too extreme which I think is good news. I've only had my first Pfizer vaccine but am due to get my second one this Friday. My only side effect was a sore arm where I got the shot the first evening then things got better. Since you mentioned you have neuropathy but are not sure of the specific cause - idiopathic link mine - small fiber peripheral neuropathy, you may be interested in learning what other members with neuropathy have shared in a few other discussions on neuropathy and spinal cord stimulators:

Hoping for success on getting your spinal cord stimulator implanted and providing some relief for you on Monday. Can you provide an update and share your experience after your appointment Monday?
