Neuropathy symptoms come and go - is this typical?

Hi njed,
My poly-SFN is only 3 years old, unconfirmed by skin punch, progressing nicely (a neurologist might say) to the point that muscle twitching, legs cramping are becoming debilitating (loss of sleep mostly). I feel like 4 mRNA shots haven't had any effect except to say that they haven't helped. I'm taking B-12, acetyl l carnitine and gabapentin (1500mg).
I would rate my neuropathy as having crossed to the intense threshold just this week.
Not sure I can return to my science teacher job in the fall unless muscles settle down.
Ted

Hi @tedpellerin, Welcome to Connect. I've also had the 4 Pfizer shots and it hasn't affected my neuropathy one way or another. I did have the normal side effects and also contracted COVID between the first and second booster shots for COVID. You might find the following discussion interesting if not helpful -- Member Neuropathy Journey Stories: What's Yours?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/member-neuoropathy-journey-stories-whats-yours/

You mentioned you are a science teacher. Have you done any research on your neuropathy symptoms and available treatment options including complementary and alternative ones?
