CIDP and the Covid Vaccine

I have polyneuropathy among Afib and other conditions. I fear not getting the vaccine and I fear getting the vaccine. I am 71 and after a steroid injection that hit a nerve I have to use a walker or cane. One of my younger friends got bells palsy after the first injection and was advised by her doctor to NOT get the second one. I was told over a year ago 367 days to be exact that I need to stay in and away from hospitals, clinics, etc. I have been home bound that long. All doc appointments have been virtual. So, is it really true that side effects are minimal when so little time and studies were done on the vaccines?

I am also 71 and have a history of Afib and other things. My symptoms with polyneuropathy began just prior to Easter. I have been Two Covid vaccines and one booster. I am now wondering if there is a relationship between the vaccines and my polyneuropathy.
