My neuropathy increased more after the first dose (on 2/10, Pfizer) but still a pretty good increase after the second (3/4). Symptoms have leveled off, but are significantly higher than pre-vaccine. My neuropathy is fairly recent, following a liver transplant in August. The neurologist doesn’t know what initially started the neuropathy, although it might be related to Primary Biliary Cholangitis, an autoimmune disease, which led to my liver cirrhosis. I’d suggest speaking with your neurologist prior to getting the next dose. I don’t know how many people in this discussion have neuropathy due to an autoimmune disease, but after what my neurologist said, I might have reconsidered getting the vaccine. Although, I so want this pandemic to end and to escape lockdown!
