Anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine?

Posted by cue @cue, Feb 15, 2021

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?

Please research mRNA vaccines and put your mind at ease. mRNA has been around for 30 years, and protects the vaccine material from being attacked before it gets destroyed by our natural system. These is no part of the Virus involved with this type of vaccine. It travels to our immune system
and teaches our cells how to make a protein that will trigger an immune response inside our bodies. Researchers have been studying and working with mRNA vaccines for decades.

And yet I've never had a problem with any other vaccine in my life. I had a very strong neurological reaction to these mRNA vaccines. I just hope they don't use this type of immunization for other vaccines in the future or I won't be able to get any more vaccines. I agree they are safe for most people but there a some of us who have a bad reaction.

Very possibly, if not likely, a coincidence.

Foot neuropathy after about 1 mo recouping from Omicron. Previously had 2 vx for Covid. No more Covid vaccines. Foot still hurts like hell after 9 mo.

I agree it's likely a coincidence. Know someone whose neuropathy got worse BEFORE receiving the vaccination. She says if it had happened the other way around, she too would have suspected a cause and effect relationship.
