My son, 34 years, had the 2nd Pfizer injection in May. In July, he complained of tingling in both hands, both legs from the knees to toes. No pain, but sometimes feels weakness and fatigue in these affected areas. MRIs of head, cervical and lumbar are negative as was the EMG/NCV of his legs. Lab work was all negative. The neurologist cannot explain the symptoms, but states he wouldn’t rule out that it may be related to injection. It is now Oct and he says the symptoms are unchanged. I’m greatful that they have not worsened. Any recommendations are appreciated. Has anyone recovered from the symptoms?

Hello @dag10 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. What a great support you must be for your son while he goes through this. I think it is great to hear you say things that you are proactively doing to help your son recover from his symptoms.
Everyone has seemed to recovery very differently from their symptoms, which makes it challenging. Still, making daily choices that support well-being and healing while the medical community is feverishly learning from data will only help your son.
Is he being seen by a neurologist?

@dag10 your son’s symptoms sound quite similar to mine. I am now almost 9 months out from 2nd Pfizer and am experiencing very slight improvement. I have tried so many things such as dietary changes without any real effect. I do take a few supplements and vitamins but I think more than anything the passage of time is the biggest thing giving me slow improvement. I am just so grateful it isn’t worse and doesn’t really keep me from doing what I want and need to do. But it has been an extremely frustrating and at times frightening experience. Best wishes for your son!
