Hi everybody, I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet and recently I fell ill with an Upper respiratory infection. My fever went to 103 but I noticed that while I had fever my neuropathy pain subsided. I have recovered and the first day with normal temperature, I have noticed that the neuropathy pain and numbness has returned. This isn't the first time it has happened. About a year and a half ago, same thing URI with fever and no neuropathy pain. In fact, the one day side effect from the Covid shot, I had fever yet no neuropathy pain. Maybe it's an immune system working harder, who knows. Any similar experiences?? Wishing good health to everyone!

It sounds like you’ve made a good connection between things. I have read @ Various doctor and medical sites that people with CIDP perhaps also peripheral neuropathy have a hard time or their bodies have a hard time regulating body temperature. For instance I fall asleep feeling fine but if I get cold I don’t notice until I am freezing at my very core and find it very hard to warm up. That may or may not be helpful but I wanted to share with you.
