COVID vaccines and neuropathy

Have you tried a course of prednisone yet? Our symptoms sound so similar that I'm now wondering if we're both experiencing a blasted immune response that just needs to calm the frack down. I feel like the only thing that really helped was the prednisone; however, it could have been the slower working other stuff I've been taking all along.

I agree that this has been no walk in the park, but it hasn't hampered my ability to work, or been a severe illness of any sort. Just irritating which makes me irritable with everyone around me.

I've noticed that I opt to go through a drive through rather than walk into a store. So it's been small changes in my life, nothing earth shattering.

I did actually go to a plant nursery, plant some seedlings, and start some tomato plants last weekend. I also had my brother come over to assist with some two person chores recently, so I must be on the mend. I've let some things just slide in the past 6 months simply because I didn't want to be on my feet, even though not being on my feet did not improve anything. My "get up and go do" was just broken.

Hope you're doing well and hope to get an update from you soon.

Thank you. Yes, the first thing my primary doc tried was a week of steroids. Felt wonderful, but as soon as course was finished, all symptoms came back. I feel the same as you. Not in pain, just a constant irritation. I go about my day as usual, have a 14 yr old still at home, so I can’t slow down yet. It irritates me more at night. And now my nose has a constant tingle so the sneezing is nonstop. I did go ahead and schedule the nerve study, just to keep in good standing with the neurologist in case things get worse and I need to be an established patient in the future. I did fill out the Moderna online form for vaccine reactions and they did follow up with an email requesting more information. That makes me feel like maybe someone is taking me seriously. Hang in there, good to know I’m not alone and going crazy.
