Anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine?
I am 85 with small fiber neuropathy that is getting worse. My neurologist thought it would be a good idea for me to wait with the covid vaccine and not be first in line to see how it affected other people with neuropathy. Probably because it is a new technology. Has anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine? If so, which vaccine?

4 ReactionsI spoke too soon. Haven't felt well since Monday, two days after my 2nd dose. Flu-like; malaise, muscle pain and weak. No fever. Hope it doesn't last long. Have you and Linda gotten your 2nd dose yet? Sorry, I think you've said when. Stay well, feel well I pray! Warmest hugs to you both, Sunnyflower

3 Reactions@busch @sunnyflower When I had my first vaccination with Moderna last month, I was given a card, COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card put out by HHS and CDC. It states, "You can report possible adverse reaction following COVID-19 vaccination to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) at vaers.hhs.gov

5 ReactionsHello, thank you for your concern. I have the same information but I am doing better today so I'm not concerned about it. I did not have a fever just general malaise which is to be expected rather nothing out of the normal. Take good care and thanks again, Sunny flower

2 ReactionsHello, @sunnyflower, @avmcbellar, @athenalee, @artscaping , @everyone else....I'm so sorry you've had a tough response to the 2nd shot, Sunny. I did too. I wrote about it in Feb after I got the 2nd Moderna shot and had a very rough 18 hours. It began after about 4-6 hours, with extreme fatigue, all over pain, bones/muscles/head......everything hurt pretty badly. I was purely miserable for 18 hours, with a fever for several hours. I got so ill I went back to bed, which I never do unless I'm really not feeling well. I slept for several hours, sweat profusely and woke up fever free and almost pain free. It took me a day or so to regain my strength and be able to function somewhat normally.
I hope you have far less reaction and it gets better NOW! No fun, but I reminded myself this was for my health, my body was making antibodies to help me stay healthy and beat any possible Covid19 infection. That thinking helped me get through those hours. My good friend just got her 1st shot, Phizar, has some arm discomfort, feels drained and fatigued, resting, no fever. I had no 1st shot reaction.
Sunny....I will love you forever, my friend! I just ordered and have ready to put together my very own posh, hot pink, rollater w/black and white zebra pattern seat bag and back bag!!!! I've been looking for this for years!!!! I refused to use a walker forever, but when forced to get one, it had to be red. all they had was burgundy, and now everyone has one.....and it's boring~ I'm up town, hot mama now, my friend. Love it. AND, got glasses w/prisms for double vision. Kate Spade, big black w/red roses, sunglasses.....Tiffany black weird shape with silver glitter on bottom and gold arms. Am I investing in a fun rest of my life? I had to let you know since we seem to be sisters in bling!
Blessings, feel well and be safe and look stunning as we toddle around! elizabeth
