You are not alone! I’m so grateful for you sharing your story! I literally thought I was dying for months! Or had a auto immune disease. Everything has tested okay and no explanation for the constant pain, numbness, tingling, fatigue, and neuropathy throughout my entire body. I’ve even had numbness in my face. I have been to numerous specialists, tested for carpal tunnel, spinal issues, MS, and everything checks out fine.

Currently my hands go to sleep every night and I wake due to them being numb. I am seeing another neurologist Wednesday and hope I can get some better answers instead of “we think you should get better”

I am grateful for your sharing your story. I am now convinced that this is from the vaccine and I’m not sick with cancer, auto immune disease or something else. However this is so new and no Dr seems to have solid answers on how long we will have to feel like this or if we will ever get better. I feel that is almost a worse diagnosis!

Wishing you the best and hoping we do eventually get better and this will be a terrible memory!

I have exactly, and I mean exactly, the same issues. I am in Melbourne, Australia and have had zero professionals tell me this could be related to the Covid vaccine/Covid 19. Yesterday I had a brain MRI to see if I have MS.

I am not an anti-vaccine person. I had two AstraZeneca vaccines and absolutely no reaction (May and July 2021). Then in January 2022 I had the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine. An hour after having the vaccine I started feeling like "when you go to the dentist and the anaesthetic starts wearing off and everything is numb and tingly". This started in my face and hands and progressed to my whole body.

In July 2022 I had what I would call a fairly mild case of Covid 19 (Omicron BA.4 or BA.5).

Now, a year on the symptoms are returning much stronger where I have the pins and needles almost constantly somewhere in my body.

Before the Pfizer vaccine/Covid 19, I would say I was a fit and healthy woman in her early 50s. I have suffered from menstrual migraines and have ADHD but manage both of these conditions really well.

Thanks so much for sharing your story. I feel so much better knowing that it's not just me. I hope maybe sharing my story it helps others too.
