COVID vaccines and neuropathy

My experience with neuropathy began two weeks after I’m received my Pfizer Covid booster on 10/5/2021. From that time on I have become increasingly miserable and am so severely affected by the heat and sun that I have to take ice packs with me if I think I am going to be exposed to these triggers. I have not been helped by a neurologist, an infectious disease physician, or a pain specialist. Needless to say, this continues to not only greatly impact my quality of life, but continues to severely limit what I can do with my family and friends.

Hi bybee,

Could you tell me what symptoms you have when you encounter heat or the sun? I have developed hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and wondered if there was a link with the vaccines.

I am in the same situation. I was a healthy 54 year old. I got moderna shot on march 18 2021 with in a week started developing neuropathy and just turned into a mess. I am now at northwestern trying to figure it out. I just wonder how many other people are struggling like us

Hi. sorry to hear. I'm curious. Have you tried gabapentin? I take 600mg in the evening, sometimes 300mg during the day. It definitely helps me with the pain.
