COVID vaccines and neuropathy

It sounds like we have travelled the same path. I am on those supplements too. Also, cannot take Gabapentin. I also saw an acupuncturist who was a "neuropathy specialist" and wanted to do the shock wave treatment too, sounds like the same thing. But after the first sample treatment, I would have had to buy the package which was 10 to 20 treatments at a cost of thousands of dollars and no guarantees, so that was a no go for me. I guess it is something to have all the "bad stuff" ruled out. I do have a video appointment with a university hospital neurologist in a few months, but honestly all I can see are more tests and any specialized tests would be a long overnight trip to the university hospital. As my favorite (and smartest) doctor says, "New virus, new vaccines. We just don't know". My conundrum now is whether to take another vaccination when it comes out as I am older and had alot of chemotherapy in the past which didn't leave my immune system in good shape. Also my husband is very high risk. As an RN, I know that any vaccine (not just covid) can trigger some strange reactions, but this has never happened to me before and I have had just about every vaccine there is. I wish you the best and hope and pray that what we are experiencing will just go away!

I have had chemotherapy also. My body did not have the best reaction to the therapy. My immune system was destroyed to the point I am on Ivig. Before the Ivig I did cold laser therapy, I thought it improved my neuropathy. It did not go away but it is more tolerable. I also was prescribed Metanx. I thought it also contributed to my neuropathy improving. Now my Bs are very high.
