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.

Please do more research. Peet-reviewed studies have documented persistence of the encoded spike protein in lymph nodes months after vaccination. The CDC originally posted on their web site that the spike protein would remain at the injection site and would not circulate in the bloodstream. This engineered mRNA vaccine is highly experimental.

First, let me say that I am an RN, 100% pro vax. However, hours after receiving my 4th booster in 1/2022, I began experiencing paresthesias in my feet, legs and hands that continue to this day. I have seen many doctors, including a research neurologist at a large teaching hospital (not Mayo) who all believe that this is a reaction to the spike protein in the mRNA vaccine. To be clear, this doctor told me that she is seeing plenty of patients post covid infection who are also experiencing this sort of neurological reaction. Current thought is that some sort of auto immune issue has been triggered, although all tests, and I mean a million of them, have come back negative for any disease. They just don't know what is going on. It's extremely frustrating but the only solution seems to go back in time and not get the 4th booster. Although, then maybe I would have gotten covid and be in the same boat I am in now. And we can't just hold the mRNA vaccines responsible, because all the covid vaccinations have some form or another of the spike protein.

mRNA is far from experimental, all it does is carry the vaccine so your body doesn't destroy it,
Yes, the boosters will sometimes give you a temporary swelling of under arm nodes, but doesn't last more than a few days. After trying to look up "Peet-reviewed", I realized you meant peer-reviewed, and can only find that research on anti-vax sites. You really shouldn't spread your supposed research on this kind of site. Stop trying to scare people, as they are trying to get proper information.

Please read the following peer-reviewed paper by Stanford University scientists published in the prestigious journal, Cell. They detected the spike protein in lymph nodes 60 days after vaccination. Spike protein concentrations in blood plasma within 1-2 days after vaccination overlapped or exceeded spike protein plasma levels after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. Again, the CDC promised the spike protein would be expressed and remain in the muscle tissue at the site of vaccine injection. The genetic code of the spike protein mRNA in the vaccine was altered to supposedly make that happen. Things did not go as planned and people have a right to informed consent when deciding whether or not to be vaccinated. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8786601/

Selene… so sorry for all you are going through. your story matches mine. I had perfect health till second Moderna shot, and developed paresthesia on left side of body… face down to feet. Occasionally right side. Sometimes the areas of paresthesia would shift. The sensations would also vary
… hot, cold, prickly, tight etc very but there was no pain associated nor weakness. Like you, I saw two Neurologists Who attributed it to an over active nervous system and only getting 5-6 hours of sleep. Neither one would say it was attributed to the vaccine. You were lucky in this way. I started making sleep a priority. No improvement. I have minimal stress in life, good life I’d say. But one doc get saying it was stress induced.
for me, it will be two years in February. I am so used to the symptoms now that they hardly bother me, unless they spike in intensity. The intensity and duration of symptoms may still cause some anxiety responses when strong. However, they are much better in frequency than they were and typically mild now. I might even go a whole week now and feel no symptoms, or those easy to ignore.

The improvement started when I started supplementing with lions mane, NAC and alpha lipoid acid daily. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have no idea what is going on here! Good luck to you.

… But I do not think I will be getting any more vaccines. I would love some opinions on this.

Sorry for all you are going through! Sounds very close to my story. I am lucky I have a neurologist who believes me and sees many people like me, both post covid infection and post covid vaccination. When I asked her about the Omicron, she was not entirely on board with it, despite my age and risk factors, so I have held off for now. When I asked her about the influenza vaccine, she said "Go ahead, if you haven't had any problems in the past", which I haven't. I have had every vaccination under the sun being a nurse and never had a problem. She believes it is the spike protein that is causing the problems, both in covid and the vax.

Thank you for your reply. I’ve never had a traditional flu vaccine. I am 64. I have not had vaccines for shingles. At this point I have no idea whether I should take these precautions or just let it go. I would value your opinion. Also, what state are you located in? I would be open to finding another Doctor who would take me seriously. I am located in New Jersey. Thanks again and all the best!

I am in southern Colorado. I travel up to the University of Colorado Hospital in Denver, which is a 14 hour round trip from where I live, so it's an overnight stay for me. I am 68. There is just about zero medical care where I live. The doctor I see is Dr Kang, a neurologist,at UCH. I have been told she is booked out till May 2023! Ridiculous. It took me 3 months to get a video appointment with her. She is running a million tests, all normal so far and honestly if this is a small fiber neuropathy triggered somehow by the vaccination, she admits there is not much to do about it. I am going to get my flu vaccine next week sometime, so I will let you know how it goes. She is OK with that, but she wants me to wait for the Omicron till all my tests are back, which could be another month. And she also said, getting covid could make it worse, along with all the bad respiratory stuff that covid gives you. Honestly, this is such a mess. I am hoping my body just returns to semi normal state in the coming months. I don't know what to say about getting other vaccinations. As, I said, I have taken everything, flu, shingles, tetanus, hepatitis and 3 Pfizer shots without a problem. It was the 4th one that did me in! And I have always been pro vaccination, and I still am. My doctor, like me, thinks it is the spike protein of this new virus that is causing all these issues. It's as if I have long covid without ever having covid. Crazy. So for now, I am still wearing a mask indoors and following all the public health precautions despite no one else doing these things.

Yes, please stay in touch. I would certainly recommend the supplements I am taking as I’ve had much improvement since taking them regularly. Epson salt baths are nothing short of amazing, albeit short lived. I would love to hear how you are doing. Nice to meet you.❤️
