COVID vaccines and neuropathy

I had the Moderna vaccine as well and developed similar symptoms. It took almost one year and several visits to multiple physicians and I finally have a diagnosis of CIDP
possibly from the vaccine. I am a health care provider myself and I had to be very vigilant in my own care until a diagnosis was made. What finally caught my providers attention was the results of my EMG. I am currently receiving IgG infusions and immunotherapy. I don’t think I will ever be cured but with medical therapy I can function without constant pain or muscle weakness.
My advise to you is be strong and if you are not satisfied with your diagnosis and treatment find another provider. Many times neurologist that specializes in neuromuscular disorders are familiar with complications post COVID vaccine. Be strong and stay in touch with this group.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It gives me more information and possible routes to take in detecting what is truly causing these symptoms.
My nurse pract. suggested getting an MRI to see if my back may be causing these symptoms (pinched nerve), but I will talk to her about getting an EMG because I am thinking that test could also detect a pinched nerve but may see other possibilities as well, like your diagnosis of CIDP.
Thank you for your support, and I will for sure stay in touch with this group. I am wishing for you the very best journey towards a comfortable & healthy life.
