Neuropathy symptoms are very painful and if left untreated can progress. If you are comfortable can you tell us what treatment you are receiving currently. I had similar symptoms after each Moderna vaccine. I am currently being treated by a neuromuscular specialist as well as a rheumatology physician. The vaccine is so new that many physicians are not familiar with the possible side effects post COVID vaccine. It is so important to find a physician that understands your symptoms and how they might be related to the vaccine and what the appropriate treatment is. Please keep seek treatment until you find some relief. Keep in touch.

I just reread your reply to my concerns & questions regarding my neurological symptoms I've had since my 1st Moderna shot, 2/21. My nurse prac. still doesn't believe it's related to the vaccine, and believes my symptoms could be caused by a back problem. So she has ordered me to have an MRI to rule this out, before looking at the other possibilities. I am having the MRI next week & will get the results the following week. I'm going along with this procedure just to satisfy her recomendation - but I would rather her steer me directly to a Neurologist first. However, I live in a small town and we are limited to finding good specialists.
I do not have pain in my body - it is mainly the tingling sensations, but it is getting worse, and has moved from my feet into my upper body (hands, arms and even my heart, which really concerns me). I have also noticed that my memory has gotten much worse, and thinking this could all be related.
How are you doing with your treatment? Did you have any of these symptoms before your Moderna vaccine? If not, how soon did they appear after your vaccine? I truly don't believe its a coincidence that my symptoms appeared 3 days after my vaccine - especially since I'm in very good health otherwise. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions and concerns.
