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?

Any luck now that the huge list of pfizer vaccine side effects has been released by court order. Can't wait for Moderna side effects to be opened up.. Please let us know how things work out and prayers for your Mom.... thank you for your input,
Where would I able to access this information? Thanks.
I believe on you tube there is a Drbeen and Dr Campbell that try to explain the results of released documents. more to be released. There may be more info now on line if you check " Pfizer documents released on court order"

1 ReactionI have had Neuropathy for about 10 years now.It wasnt so bad for years and never affected my sleep.I have had 2 shots of Astrazeneca in 2021 and a booster of Moderna in January this year.My feet are burning more , prickling up the back of my legs , buttocks, one night it was into my arms and back, I have also noticed my muscles are feeling weak, I go to the gym and push them , it seems ok but they still feel weak.I am seeing a specialist on Wednesday 30th March.
I would say many people are experiencing this after covid vaccinations. I had 3 pfizer vaccines, no problems. I had a 4th due to my immune state and a few hours later...numbness and tingling in feet, by morning up to my knees, in my fingertips, twitching sensations and sometimes feel very weak in leg. I did not have this before shot. It has been 2 months of this now. Been to neurologist, general doctor and spoke to my oncologist. I have had blood tests , MRI of neck, EMG and muscle/nerves tudies. Everything normal. Each of my doctors believes it is a vaccine reaction that will "eventually" go away. No one has had an explanation of what it is or why it's happening. Many people around the world have reported neuropathies after covid vaccinations. As one of my doctors said, "new disease, new vaccines, we just don't know". I am hopeful this will all soon pass. And as I have had many friends die of covid before the vaccine, I am sure they would exchange numbness and tingling to be alive again. Anyway, I wish you the best. Keep us updated.

2 ReactionsI was diagnosed with erthyromelalgia at Mayo's in 2006. After 3 - 4 years it got better and I was able to wear shoes or go outside in the summer without coming in and putting my feet on a ice pack. This started after my lumbar fusion in 2005. Then in 2017 a had a hip replacement and it got a little worse. In 2019 I had a second back fusion and I developed neuropathy. After my second hip replacement in 2021 my erthyro and neuropathy got much worse. I also had the Covid vaccinations and that also contributed to my discomfort. I also suffer from Reynauds. My toes or either blue/purple or red and hot up to my ankles. Nights are very bad. My Neurologist just wants to increase the Gabapentin which I am against due to the side effects. I now have a appointment with a new Neurologist in June. Hope to get a answer. In the meantime I am holding off on the second buster
There is evidence that the nerve damage that may happen with the Covid vaccines is autoimmune-mediated. The immune profile resembles Long Covid. In both the vaccine injuries and long Covid, patients benefit from rest with little aerobic activity. The rest suppresses the autoimmune reaction. People seem to tolerate mild resistance exercise better than aerobic exercise. I hope this information helps.
I was diagnosed with peripheal neuropathy in Sept 21. After both pheizer vaccines. Not too bad just stiff feet no reason for it they said. Then got booster and next day the tingling and electricity throughout my body started. Question if its from statin or the vaccine. Very coincidental.
I’ve been sick for four months now after the Moderno boster.. Neuropathy, miserable itching sensation and prickling. With twitching all over.
