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?

Unfortunately I never had any neuropathy symptoms until right after my booster shot November 1, 2021. I could not walk the next day my ankles were so weak and I had a superficial blood clot in my left leg. The clot did subside with meds but I still experience numbness in my ankles and now the numbness has radiated to my hands and wrists. I never had these issues before and feel as if my health has rapidly declined .
I am 65 and eat very healthy with an occasional glass of red wine. I used to walk several miles with no problem but now suffer. I will not take anymore vaccine shots since I am very skeptical of the reaction it has had to my body.

4 ReactionsMe too. I am soon being seen at Mayo for this.
Are you being seen for this? It sounds like Guillan Barre.
I have SFN and had been getting along just fine for the most part with daily Alpha Lipoic Acid and a small dose of Gabapentin; however after my Covid vaccine shots and the booster shot of the Moderna vaccine, there was a definite flare up of neuropathy symptoms. I am finally beginning to notice that things have begun to quiet down now 6 months after the booster shot.
Thank you for your post. I completely agree with you. I believe you & support you. You expressed frustrations I have had and worded it very well.

1 ReactionRead somewhere they are going to start researching vaccine side effects. 1 . Not using anyone who already has problems. 2 only using people who haven't had vaccine and are in prime health ( like they didn't force vaccine on people who already had issues) 3. Testing 100 people? Really?... Sorry. Have searched a lot, but not sure where I read this. But believe Fauci s name was connected.
I started pain from base of skull to bottom of left foot. With crushing rib cage pain. All increased 10 x after Moderna booster in Nov. Burning pain since booster is better. But all still there. Waited 2 1/2 mo to get into neurologist. She did not do 1 test. But referred me to their excellent pain clinic. Not noticing I had already been there twice, and they had recommended i see her, at their excellent Neuro clinic.
Sorry.... I rant every couple months.
Totally understand all your pain. If it all started COINCIDENTALLY after 1 vaccine. It should all be taken away at once too. They act like age suddenly hit my body all at once. I can't even find a doctor to do a test besides routine. Normal MRIs and CTs and routine blood test. My blood pressure seems to randomly go crazy lately. Always good at doc office.......
Sorry.....you'd think Mayo docs would be reading these. But the did fire 700 people for non vacs. And they may have investments in drug companies. Gabapentin seems to be the answer to all vaccine pains I've found.
Thanks for listening. I'll let everyone know if I find anyone who takes this seriously...

2 ReactionsContinued.........
I did find plastic surgeons are attributing severe reactions to patients with Hyaluronic Acid fillers to Moderna vaccines. COINCIDENTALLY......
We all have natural Hyaluronic Acid in your whole body.
I've learned Large volume hyaluronic acid decreases inflammation. But if it gets broken down to small volume HA... It then CAUSES inflammation. There are studies associating this with Alzheimer's. Maybe the vaccine is breaking down our hyaluronic acid.... That's my in pain for months, non- doctor, non- scientist, common sense guess .....
Please find a neurologist and explain your symptoms!
Funny you mention the plasmapheresis and IVIg treatments. My severe spine pain + after my Moderna shots , then x10 after booster. I thought might be Myelitis. These are the treatments they use for that, to reverse paralysis when they find this on an MRI. But just pain, not paralysis. And nothing on my MRI. Waited 3 mo to get into neurologist, and she didn't do 1 test. Sent me to a Pain Clinic ( that refered me to her). Rediculous. So how did you find your neurologist? Where are you? Neurologist name. Worked for an airline before was forced to retire when all this started. Begining to think I might have to travel to find someone who listens.
Praying for you.... I'm alone and older, so not effecting me like you. Keep sharing please.thanks.
