COVID vaccines and neuropathy

I have idiopathic small fiber neuropathy with burning, numbness, and lots of pain in my feet and legs. After I got my 2nd Moderna vaccine I had a slight headache and increased pain in my legs the next day (yesterday). So far today I think my leg pain has subsided to it's normal level (still not good but better than yesterday). Hopefully the vaccine has not had any lasting affect on my neuropathy. I am looking forward to not worrying about Covid-19 now. My neurologist approved me getting the vaccine.

Hello @lucyrennell, Welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Moderna COVID vaccine. I too am looking forward to not having to worry about COVID-19 and all the fear that comes with it. Hoping the vaccine doesn't have any long term affect on your neuropathy also. I was fortunate with my small fiber neuropathy in that the COVID vaccine I took (Pfizer) had no affect other than the minor reported ones. Have you thought about reporting your side affect?
