Hi @jmk, welcome. As you have read in this discussion thread, several members have reported developing neuropathy potentially from a vaccine or from a COVID infection, or that either caused existing neuropathy to flare. For some it was temporary for others longer.

I brought many of the questions members were asking to two of Mayo Clinic’s experts in COVID and post COVID recovery: Dr. Van and Dr. Ganesh. The brief answer is that there is, as yet, that the vaccine can trigger neuropathy. But there is evidence that COVID infection can cause neuropathy or worsen existing neuropathy.

I’m glad that you have an appointment with neurology. And I can completely understand that you’re concerned and scared. To help prepare for your appointment, I might suggest keep a journal about the feelings you’re experiencing in your feet, hands and face. Make note of things like what time of day the sensations occur, is it burning or pins and needles or both? How long does it last? What seems to make it worse? Better? Etc. The more details you can provide, the better you can help your team find the cause and hopefully solutions.

How long ago did you have the vaccine?
