Thank you so much for your words! This is exactly how I feel and dare I say, how I think most of us who are suffering from all of this feel. Acknowledgement is the key. Without that, we cannot move forward - to treatment, possibly cure ( why not), and understanding from the community as a whole. This is what I have been searching for since February 2021 when this all happened to me. If there is that acknowledgement now, I am happy to hear it. I'm still waiting to hear neuropathy announced as a possible adverse effect from this vaccine - as has been done for other conditions. Then, I will believe we are on the right path.

I think acknowledging any link may come, in time, when it can be scientifically proven. This all happened so fast to get the safest, quickest remedy that could be put together that was felt best to fight the nasty and lethal pandemic. As another contributor said, it all came with risks we had to decide to take for ourselves, with or without personal medical advice from our doctors, politicians, or the media. It is so unfortunate it takes years to collect proper data. Had they waited to test the vaccine in more depth before offering it, the pandemic would be no doubt more catastrophic. So it came down to difficult choices for all of us. I understand the frustration of wanting our Neuropathy causes perfectly known. Many of us that had Neuropathy before Covid ever came along are waiting to have our reasons found, despite our theories we have. I have not been a poster child for having patience to get Neuropathy understood since the disease has been around so long, but am learning that other diseases have a lot of unknown causes or cures. I hope the understanding of all possible proven risks of the Covid vaccine doesn’t take years, but because of the many many different side effects people report from vaccines and other drugs, I suspect it will.
