That is great! Did you do anything besides gabapentin that may have helped with your neuropathy? I stopped taking gabapentin because of the side effects and found that it wasn’t helping with my neuropathy anyway. My neuropathy has never went away since my first and only Pfizer vaccine 4/21. It does get better here and there but always comes back just as bad and sometimes worse.
That is such good news that you are doing so well after your vaccine injury! You are the first person I have seen to report complete recovery that includes recovery of a normal EMG. My symptoms are greatly improved but there was no improvement in the nerve damage according to my most recent EMG 5 months ago. I'm now hopeful that my next EMG will show improvement. Thank you for sharing your good news!
Did your doctor discuss a possible resurgence of your inflammatory reaction to the spike protein if you should get Covid? Would you try a short course of steroids then? My nerve damage from the vaccine is also likely due to an inflammatory autoimmune reaction.
Who is your doctor and is she/he taking new patients?
