It’s good to have affirmation of the impacts of vaccines. I hope it spawns more research and awareness among doctors. I’m fortunate my neurologist acknowledged my reaction. I know many have not had the support of their providers. I hope you find improvement in your SFN.

I read this entire article. From their comments above, I believe many of the posters did not.
The article does a service by researching other papers which report various neurological adverse reactions to all available vaccines. By a huge margin, the most common reaction was headache, many of which are described as simply tension headaches. The next most common reactions were GBS and VST, lower than headache by a factor of ten. The other reactions listed ranged from a handful to 1 or 2. A large cohort of those reporting adverse reactions were in nursing facilities and/or suffering from serious pre-existing conditions. Of note, since this is a forum about peripheral neuropathy, there were no reported cases of PN, so technically, this article does not apply to us.
The authors note that their paper may not include all neurological adverse reactions, This is likely because those unreported reactions were not serious ones.
The article does not prove or disprove that a vaccinated individual may develop PN, or whether vaccination can make a pre-existing case of PN worse, as some posters above have reported.
I too am a sufferer of PN. I have all 3 shots, with only a slightly sore arm to report. I understand the terrible frustration of not having an answer to the cause of the disease, nor an adequate treatment.
Unfortunately, the article being discussed does not provide us with this information.
Furthermore, from the zeal expressed by some posters when discovering this article ("at last", etc.) I sense that some of the posters take it as some form of enlightenment or knowledge which has been previously unavailable or hidden, perhaps as a conspiracy. This is simply not true.
All medications, including vaccines, have side effects, sometimes fatal ones. The covid vaccines are remarkably safe, although they too have side effects. In deciding whether or not to take them, we as patients should do a cost/benefit analysis. Do the benefits of taking the vaccine outweigh the costs? Since Covid can be a horrible disease, causing millions of deaths and serious longterm effects in those that survive, this is as close to a no-brainer as it gets. Moreover, the decision to not get the vaccine can imperil the health of contacts (like your child or grandma), and impede the development of herd immunity, which can negatively affect me and all the rest of us.
I am astounded and ashamed that so many in our country refuse to accept this. They look for needles ( pun intended) in haystacks to find reasons not to take a lifesaving medicine. Medical decisions should not be based on politics, unscientific rumors, or what one hears on talk radio, or well meaning forums such as this one.
