Anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine?

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?

My neurologist was mainly worried that the pain pathways could be more firmly set and was suggesting a low dose to stay on top of it.

I’d say it was mild heading towards moderate pain but still intermittent.

I’m on supplements as well, exercise and eat healthily, but those are long standing…supplements for almost 3 years.

Those numbers you reported are important; just not to the "5%" or 100,000 people who are the unfortunate collateral damage that no one appears to really care about, especially if it doesn't affect them or their friends or family.
Are there commercials or mainstream media bombarding the airwaves or circulating written reports of the same collateral damage?🤔🤷🏽‍♀️

I had one dose of the Moderna v in March of 2021 that gave me tinnitus. In June of 2021 I took the steroid Prednisone for a week. I then developed a form of mast cell activation syndrome. A few weeks later I developed dysautonomia which the symptoms were mostly brain fog, fatigue, and paresthesia. After about a month the paresthesia resolved about 90%. It then returned 2 months later. I took the Washington University blood test. Everything read 0 except my IgM vs TS-HDS was 11,000. Normal is <10,000. What might indicate? My symptoms are paresthesia of the feet and occasional short term numbing of hands. I am at the 7 month point of symptoms for paresthesia. About 12 months from the vaccine. My neurologist said it is not certain I have SFN. Has anyone had an experience like this with the vaccine and have paresthesia resolve completely?

My whole family is vaccinated and we also get the annual flu shot, so I am decidedly NOT antii-vax. But how the hell is it that there are so many people on this site (and others) with horrible reactions to this vaccine and there is not a single mention of it in the media, by the CDC, NIH, etc.? Yesterday I had to go on reduced schedule and am only work from home, and I'm possibly on my way to permanent disability. There must be some way that we collectively can get some attention drawn to this issue. I do not want to take it lying down. I have e-mailed Fox News (which I don't watch btw), New York Times, etc. and no response. I e-mailed Dr. Anne Oaklander. I will continue e-mailing other experts (Dr. Paul Offit, Dr. Michael Osterholm) until just one person responds to me and explains how the hell so many people are being injured by this and there is not a single mention of it.

If you have ideas for getting proper attention drawn to this issue, please share it!

If one already has painful neuropathy or whatever underlying conditions before taking the Covid vaccine, it is not a convincing argument (for lack of a better word) to take a vaccine that could stir up/stimulate the immune system to reignite or possibly worsen the symptoms of that underlying condition. Even if an asymptomatic "underlying" condition exists, it would appear the vaccine is still a LINK to that condition changing from asymptomatic to unfortunately symptomatic subsequently changing the individual's quality of life.

I too am not an anti-vaxxer, but I had a bad reaction to the Pfizer vaccine. It started with tremors in my hands and feet, then fasciculations throughout my body, extreme nausea, brain fog, exhaustion, and numbness in my feet. I'm yet to see a neurologist and I'm suffering every day. I hope you make some headway with the media but unless it's one of the accepted post-vaccine conditions you are likely to not get any attention. No one in legitimate media wants to touch this issue with a 10 foot pole. So the rest of us suffer in silence. I believe it will come out but many years from now when there is no longer any pressure to get people vaccinated. We will never be compensated unless we're recognized and we all signed that indemnity form before getting the jab. And, honestly, no amount of compensation could make up for what I'm going through and the mental anguish. I feel completely broken.
