@johnbishop i think your advice is spot on. I know my neuropathy has a mind of its own, but felt I had worse feelings after my first 2 shots (they subsided) I had no problem at all with my booster. I talked to my neurologist about reporting it through VAERS and he advised against it - told me we couldn’t “prove” it. In hindsight I’m disappointed that I didn’t report it. How else are they going to learn if they don’t start seeing trends in some sort of database that doesn’t exist with any single doctor? Not just for vaccines, but for a lot of medical mysteries most of us are dealing with? In the end, with the vaccine, I can so far I feel safer having had it, assuming I’m past any adverse reaction I may have had.

I agree with you. You can report an adverse reaction through VAERS yourself and I would recommend it. I developed horrible nerve pain one week after the vaccine and it has not improved. I was recently diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy.

You can still report it and I think that would be a good thing.
