Well, having posted the link, I did read the full article and, while I agree it doesn’t focus entirely on PN, it does list some examples, including SFN, plus PN is certainly a neurological disorder.

I resent the implication that I’m an antivaxer making up the affect that I had from the vaccines. As a liver transplant patient, with three autoimmune diseases, I am a strong advocate for the vaccines. I got both shots, even though I had a reaction to the first. I believe you would find most people on this discussion have similar views.

I do a lot of medical research about my illnesses and take 25 pills a day just to survive. I don’t question the miracle of the vaccines, being brought back to life three times, the skills of my transplant surgeons, and all the other wonders of science.

All I want for myself and others who have developed PN or had their PN increase from the vaccines, is to get some recognition and help.

I did not intend to imply that you specifically were an anti-vaxxer, and I am truly sorry if my post upset you in any way. In fact, with your condition, you must be vigilant about any new treatment. I also did not mean to discount any symptoms that others may have developed after being vaccinated, or imply that they were imagined or not real.
As far as the article, it is true that PN was mentioned as a possible, and then only rare, adverse reaction to the vaccine. However, it is not logical to conclude from the article that PN is a possible adverse reaction simply because it is a neurologic disease.,
As we all know, there is a strong ant-vaccine sentiment among some elements in our country. Personally, I am wary of any comments that may support this point of view, as there is no scientific evidence to back it up, and it is causing great harm to those who refuse the vaccine, and others.
All of us on this forum have the same goal, that is, to relieve our suffering. In that, I'm sure we agree.
