Me too started having symptoms 3 weeks after first dose of Moderna vaccine. Had the first dose first week of January. Started as skin reactions and was told by my family doctor that it will go away. The symptoms at first was so bad -I did not take my second dose. Had persistent redness until last month and finally the redness has gone away but still have burning in arms and hands. Have been to a dermatologist, an allergist and finally to a neurologist in late June. The neurologist said that he is beginning to see patients with similar problems due to vaccine and his patients are getting better which is encouraging. The diagnosis was possible vaccine reaction or small fiber neuropathy. EMG and all blood tests negative. I have less pain than the onset but still have an annoying burning- hoping it will go way with time. Was prescribed Neurontin but scared to take it as Iam very sensitive to meds. I hope everyone gets better soon.

Hi @sam90, Welcome to Connect. Thanks for sharing your reactions to the Moderna vaccine. Did you also report it on the VAERs site? https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html
