I am so sorry this happened to you. Being a nurse, I was one of the first people to get the Pfizer vax. I developed neuropathy symptoms in less than one week after the first dose. My symptoms have been milder than what you describe but still have affected me greatly over the last couple of years. I feel my mental health has suffered the most. I wish I could give advice as to what might help, but I have found that nothing does except that time has very gradually eased the severity. Best wishes to you!

Thank you for your kind reply. My reactions came on the eighth day after my jab. I got hospitalized and nerve conductivity test was done on me. The neurologist considered the GBS symptoms were 'mild' though the conductivity of my right leg was below, but still within, normal. So no plasma exchange treatment was done. Anyway, it might have been a year or longer, as with any specialist treatment with the HK government hospitals, unless my conditions were life-threatening. I continued my daily walk of 30-40 minues and seemed to have recovered to enable to hikes for 10 - 13 km a few times towards the end of 2021. Meanwhile, I received acupuncture twice weekly, which was stopped in the early months of 2020 becasuse of the 5th wave of the virus rampaging HK, pushing daily infections to as many as 20,000+ case and hundreds of deaths.

So my conditions deteriorated and after doing other tests and seeing orthopedic and neurology specialist I have to conclude that the virus caused symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. I used to be very healthy, 99% disease-free, no full-blown colds or influenze and I have not taken any vaccine except for Hep-B in the past 35 years before the Pfizer jab. Still am, not infected though I did not take any more jabs since the SAE outbreak.

I should have known that I may have strong innate immunity as mentioned in the attached file and just skipped the immunizataion. But I wanted to be a 'good citizen' in response to the government's propaganda. Look at what it got me!

It has been 17 months now. Pray that the symptoms will go away soon.
