Spoke with my neuro surgeon today about the neuropathic pain flares that I have after each Moderna shot (had the 3th one on November 16 and it's still ongoing- the last one was for 5 weeks) and he says it's very likely that they are triggered by the vaccine, more specifically by the lipid nanoparticles that carry the message to the immune system (also present in Pfizer vaccines). He has more patients with almost identical symptoms and advised to post them on a website where you can talk about serious side effects. According to him, this is the only way for pharmaceutical companies to know about this and to act accordingly. I hope it's possible that they can tweak their vaccines a bit, so we don't have to be scared of the next booster anymore. And I think we still have a few of them lined up in our future.

Did your neurosurgeon say if the J&J booster would be a good option? The J&J vaccine is not an mRNA vaccine. Does it also contain lipid nanoparticles?

@ninette, Have you reported the vaccine side effects to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS): https://vaers.hhs.gov/. Not sure why all doctors don't know about it...
"About VAERS -- Established in 1990, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national early warning system to detect possible safety problems in U.S.-licensed vaccines. VAERS is co-managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS accepts and analyzes reports of adverse events (possible side effects) after a person has received a vaccination. Anyone can report an adverse event to VAERS. Healthcare professionals are required to report certain adverse events and vaccine manufacturers are required to report all adverse events that come to their attention.
VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences to CDC and FDA. VAERS is not designed to determine if a vaccine caused a health problem, but is especially useful for detecting unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse event reporting that might indicate a possible safety problem with a vaccine. This way, VAERS can provide CDC and FDA with valuable information that additional work and evaluation is necessary to further assess a possible safety concern."
