Anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine?
I am 85 with small fiber neuropathy that is getting worse. My neurologist thought it would be a good idea for me to wait with the covid vaccine and not be first in line to see how it affected other people with neuropathy. Probably because it is a new technology. Has anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine? If so, which vaccine?

If we don't report these symptoms to VAERS, how else do the companies that manufacture the vaccines know what's happening to quite a lot of people? A few people could be a coincidence, but there are quite a lot, my doctor also said this. And when I hear around, other people also have had neuropathic pain that got a lot worse for a few weeks or more after getting Moderna or Pfizer. It's not a coincidence.

3 ReactionsMy neuropathy pain increased a little after the first Pfizer and tremendously after the second one and that lasted for three months. I opted to get the J&J for my booster and I was fine.
I received the second covid vaccine thru the Fargo VA . It was Moderna. It made my neuropathy so much worse. Do not get it !!
I’m sorry. It took mine about 6 months to relent. Just in time for my employer to mandate. I didn’t qualify for an exemption so after discussion with two physicians I got the Johnson and Johnson. I also took Quercetin and Bromelain. I did get a neuropathy flare but not nearly as bad as with moderna and only for about 2 weeks. Pharmacist said mRNA packs a huge punch which is just too much for some people and it creates an inflammatory response. IF you are forced into a fully vaccinated status for work, I’d recommend going J&J.

2 ReactionsI have diabetic peripheral neuropathy, which has worsened significantly since being vaccinated with Pfizer vaccines. I now must use a walker, as that numb feeling and pain has progressed up my legs and arms. It’s been 5 months and symptoms are worsening. Duloxetine and B12 daily help.
I developed PN symptoms five weeks after my Covid shots.
I’m sorry you’ve developed this! Have you tried anything that helps?
I’ve had 3 Moderna injections and have had no change in my PN…

1 ReactionI exercise daily do deep tissue massage take vitamins and eat healthy. Currently on Pregabalin 150 mg twice daily plus Duloxetine 30 mg once daily. So far not going to badly. I will see a top neurologist in about two to three weeks.
