I have been diagnosed with SFN this year. My symptoms are constant tingling in my hands and feet and more recently what I describe as little shooting pins in my legs. I asked my neurologist if this could be tied to the moderna vaccine for COVID. He said it is possible. I didn’t develop these symptoms though until several months after my vaccines. I was wondering if any body got symptoms that long after they received the shot, or if the symptoms started right away after the shot. I’m trying to figure out if my SFN was caused by the shot or not.

There seem to be two groups of vaccine injuries, those that occur immediately and those with the first symptoms about 2 weeks after vaccination. The antibody response to the vaccine peaks at about 2 weeks. Much of the nerve damage appears to be an autoimmune reaction triggered by the spike protein. The autoimmune reaction develops over time, so the neurological symptoms usually peak around 8 months after vaccination and then slowly improve. A great source of information and support is the Neuro V Long-Haulers group on Facebook. A note of caution: Some patients are fine with the first 1-2 vaccines, but then have a problem after the booster. There needs to be transparency about vaccine injuries, so that people can truly have informed consent when deciding to be vaccinated.

I had 3 Pfizer shots, including the booster. I was walking about one hour a day 4-5 times a week. Then, feeling extremely tired, sleep issues and feeling like the walking dead, I tested positive for COVID on January 8. My life of pain all over is overwhelming. They say it takes at least year to get over it.🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕
