@jetsetter- I'm so glad that you posted this. We can have something show up after being vaccinated that was not caused by the vaccine, but by underlying conditions that were stimulated by your immune system. Woohoo!

Hi, I am new to this but very encouraged there is a safe space to share about these concerns...I am 55 and I had multiple migraines out of character the same day of my 2nd phizer. In sept . Then I suddenly got 6th nerve palsey 21 days later. It slowely improved in Dec after 3 months of severe double vision. My tinnitus also got really bad and while my eye was starting to move again I noticed I was having ongoing muscle twitches- day and night- all over. And then suddenly one day I woke to my toes feeling really numb-. Real sudden- like over night. Just like the palsey in my eye. I already have 3 auto immune diseases...Hashimoto's thyroiditis at age 13, type 1 diabetes at age 12 and necrobiosislipidicadiabeticorum at age 29. No complications of any kind having had diabetes all 45 years. Most everyone is medically assuming it's the DIABETES and just suck it upI
Today I had a nerve conduct test that indicated my feet numbness is so severe , It is sensory motor polyneuropathy . I am so overwhelmed not knowing the cause based on the sudden onset like my eye. This neurogist suspects it's autoimmune related - triggered by the vaccines. It must be, because after I got the 3rd (novavax ) booster in march ( not the same as the mnra vaccines) my feet were intensely burning same day with 2 severe migraines in a row again.
I am totally open to anyone's thoughts👍 this forum is giving me comfort I am not alone with this new diagnosis.
I heard physer is now acknowledging bells palsey and 6th nerve as rare side effects.

If one already has painful neuropathy or whatever underlying conditions before taking the Covid vaccine, it is not a convincing argument (for lack of a better word) to take a vaccine that could stir up/stimulate the immune system to reignite or possibly worsen the symptoms of that underlying condition. Even if an asymptomatic "underlying" condition exists, it would appear the vaccine is still a LINK to that condition changing from asymptomatic to unfortunately symptomatic subsequently changing the individual's quality of life.
