COVID vaccines and neuropathy

I received my 4th Pfizer shot on January 28th. To this very day, I am still experiencing nonstop numbness and tingling in my feet and fingers, weird electrical sensations pulsing through my limbs. Some days are better than others, but it never goes away and somedays it just takes over. I have had neck MRIs, EMG, a dozen blood tests looking for auto immune and vitamin issues. Every single test comes back normal. My neurologist believes it may be an auto immune related small fiber neuropathy caused by the vaccine. 2 of my other doctors also believe it is a vaccine side effect. I have tried Neurontin which just made me feel like a zombie and didn't help. I've tried every supplement said to possibly help, no response. I notice when I am stressed or try to do alot of physical activity, it gets worse. After long walks, my feet are numb ,like 2 blocks of ice. Everyone tells me it will go away, whatever "it" is.Whatever it is we are experiencing, I don't believe that there is a test for. Seems like everyone eventually does get better, whether 4 months or a year. I am in my fourth month of this craziness. I have reported it to Pfizer and to VAERS., for what it's worth. As an RN who saw many of my friends and colleagues die of covid before there was a vaccine, I am thankful to still be here , tingling and all. I probably would have stopped at the third shot. However, I am in a high risk group, over 60 and a poor immune system. I also live in an area where many people refused to follow any health precautions, even as the hospitals were piling the dead into refrigerated trucks. I wish everyone well. Oh, BTW, the European health agency (I forget what they are called, equivalent to the CDC) does acknowledge that the Pfizer vaccine can cause paresthesias as a side effect. Why or how to treat it or even diagnose it, no one seems to know.

I had my 4th Pfizer shot on May 26th 2022 and both hands are numb and tingling starting abruptly on May 28th. I’ve never had these type of symptoms before. I saw my Dr on June 1st and she tested my B12 level which was 300 and told me to take a B12 supplement as she said low B12 can cause this. I’ve been taking 500mcg of Cyanocobalamin B12 for 18 days and have not seen any improvement. The condition has been constant since 2 days after the 4th shot. I’m 57 years old I’ve noticed my typing on my laptop is hindered by this which I need to do for my job. After 3rd dose Nov 2021 I had elevated liver enzymes and would have waited on getting a 4th but my Dr strongly urged me to get it since I had travel to a conference for my work in June. @selene53 have your symptoms improved or worsened? What treatments are you taking for it if any?
