COVID vaccines and neuropathy

Hello, there are a number of people on this discussion who have had neuropathy reactions to the vaccines. I’m sorry you have experienced these as well. I did too. I try to remember the importance of the vaccine, however, and above all remain positive.

I know the pain and discomfort of neuropathy is not easy. I do take Gabapentin. I try to limit it to late afternoon, evening. I only take 200-300 mgs. daily. It does help with the sharp, stabbing nerve pains I get and it relaxes me so that I can typically sleep through most nights. I personally have not found that I have any side effects from it.

There are many helpful posts on the Mayo Connects neuropathy discussion. I encourage you to read these as I’ve found that not everything is helpful for everyone. I take notes from the posts, research a lot, and discuss options with my neurologist.

Thank you I will continue to read more posts. I was thinking about just taking the Gabapentin at night to see if it helps with my sleeping. I just really don't need the weight gain as I am going through menopause and trying to keep the weight down has been hard.
