How are you doing now? I’m 52 and had same experience. I’m a dermatologist and my symptoms appear to be small fiber neuropathy. Extensive testing negative. Mine is worsening since began 4 days after my 2nd Pfizer. Shaky legs and losing temperature and pin prick sensation hands and feet. Fatigue. Muscles overly tired. If also lost some weight over last 3 months for no apparent reason. Eyes now becoming dry and not sweating on hands. There has been a case report of a 57yo female. That doc said he’s had multiple other physicians contact him about similar cases.

So sorry you are dealing with this. I am too. I developed pain and burning right after my first dose in my feet and legs. Did the first dose increase your pain? Wishing you well!

@bowerstx so sorry you’re experiencing this. I still have symptoms at almost 6 months out now, although overall slightly better. My issues now are mainly burning in my feet and slight weakness to my right lower leg. I have mild twitching in my right foot at times. Occasionally I have a stinging sensation all over my body. What you’re describing is a little worse that anything I went through, as I never actually lost any sensation. It’s almost as though my sensations have been increased instead of decreased. Has your doc tried any meds to ease symptoms? Mine prescribed Cymbalta, however I wasn’t able to take it due to nausea. I’m not a big medication person anyway, unless I know exactly why I’m taking it. I have another neuro appt in July and I’m looking forward to hearing if he’s had any more cases of this. Best wishes to you and I will be following your progress.
