COVID vaccines and neuropathy

About 15 years ago I received an experimental treatment consisting of injections in my spine to treat my Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Since then, I have been in remission. I have heard of people with active CRPS having flare-ups after the vaccine (all versions in the US), and have been reading several comments in this thread about other neurological symptoms. I have had Covid-19 earlier in the pandemic and recovered and get tested regularly. What are the chances of me coming out of remission due to the vaccine effects mentioned? The treatment I received before was not a common treatment, and I am unsure I will be able to receive it again since it was a clinical trial. I am worried that I will accidentally make myself return to active CRPS from getting the vaccine, which is an extremely scary thought for me. Has anyone in remission from CRPS received any version of the shot? I would love to hear your experiences, or get any advice. I live in NYC and I am feeling very sad to be left out of all activities in my city, but I also would consider having my symptoms return to seriously alter my physical health.

How is your immunity holding up since your COVID-19 infection and did you have any adverse reactions resulting from having contracted COVID?
