COVID vaccines and neuropathy

Update: After my fourth Pfizer booster in 1/22, I have been dealing with numbness, tingling and vibrations in my extremities ever since. All tests have been negative so far. You can read my old posts for background.
Finally had a televisit with a neurologist at a major teaching hospital. She said she has many patients that present to her with peripheral neuropathies after the covid vaccination but ALSO patients who have had covid and now have peripheral neuropathies. So, vaccination or covid, you can end up with neuropathy either way if your system is so inclined. She believes it may be a small fiber neuropathy. I am scheduled to have a battery of tests done to rule out any under lying disease like rheumatoid arthritis, then maybe a skin biopsy. But, in almost 50% of cases, no cause at all is found for SNF. It is idiopathic. On a happier note, she said symptoms may come and go , but none of her patients became progressively worse. Anyway, that's the update.
