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?

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.
Mine also much worse after booster What’s frustrating is no one will acknowledge this including neurologists just too coincidental

1 ReactionI 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.🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕
I am researching my area for a Naturepath Doctor in my area. Thanks for sharing this.

2 ReactionsWishing you good luck. This path is so much more healthy for your body. Keep me posted on how things go for you.
Why does Medicare not cover these doctors? On Social Security I cannot afford a doctor not covered.
I totally agree - I believe it's because they don't want to support a Dr. that doesn't support the pharmaceutical industry. I was fortunate to find a Naturepath Dr. who is working with my budget.
I will keep looking. Thank you so much.💕💕💕😘🌹🌹🌹🌹

1 ReactionI've had neuropathy in my hands and feet for two years due to chemo. I've participated in a clinical trial with little to no improvement. What I do do is read A LOT and get emails from medical news sites. Here are a few things I've learned. There are studies that have shown a correlation between the vaccine and neuropathy, but it also show a correlation between covid and neuropathy with the conclusion that there is a pre-existing condition that is triggered by the covid vaccine or infection. Therefore, if you developed neuropathy from the vaccine, you would also have developed it from a covid infection. To the person who got great results from the vaccine detox, I'm very happy for you! BUT flushing or detoxing the vaccine from your body just is not possible. This has been debunked so many times. Perhaps it wasn't the vaccine that caused your symptoms which is why this method seems to be working. Perhaps it is the overlooked but very much real power of the mind working for you. But as one expression used by a virologist goes, once vaccinated you cannot unring the bell. So whatever works, great! But you cannot flush the vaccine from your body. Sorry.
