COVID vaccines and neuropathy

I realize that this is a year too late to respond to your question but I wanted to report that I’ve actually had an improvement in my small fibre neuropathy after getting 3 Pfizer vaccinations.

My neurologist was suggesting I start gabapentin or other for pain, but a week after my first vaccination last year, my pain improved 70%. It continued to gradually improve until I had my 2nd vaccination. 1-2 weeks later, my pain disappeared. After my booster, I’m starting to get some return in sensation.

Neuropathy started 7 years ago after a “flu”.

Has anyone else noticed an improvement?

Welcome @claireharris, my small fiber peripheral neuropathy numbness has improved some since I had my 2 Pfizer vaccines and the booster but I attribute mine to eating healthier, exercising more and taking a specific protocol of vitamins and supplement for neuropathy. That is great news that you had a 70% improvement in your pain. It sounds like you never needed gabapentin for the pain with your neuropathy?
