I was afraid of getting the Pfizer because I have neuropathy due to chemo. I then got the J and J. I had a variety of side effects. Have any of you had an increase in neuropathy symptoms from the Moderna vaccine?

Yes, after both the vaccines and the booster. Mainly in the legs. Lasting between 4 weeks and... the pain after the booster is still there, had it November 16th. Hopefully it goes away again soon. I wonder if they can update the vaccine so that it doesn't trigger immune systems so badly neuropathy wise.

The first Moderna shots were fine but the booster seems to have worsened the neuropathy esp balance. Arm hurt for a few days too after the booster but not at all after the initial injections.

Sorry, I can’t relate to Moderna because I had Pfizer. Because of the on going neuropathy it caused me I haven’t gotten fully vaccinated. Would you mind elaborating on the side effects you had from J&J? Did it increase your neuropathy as well? Trying to figure out the best course of action to take myself. Wishing you the best.
