Neuropathy symptoms are worse when I sit or lay down: Anyone else?

Hello, I’m kind of late on the scene here. I get severe Paresthesia and neuropathy, sitting or lying down, throughout my entire body, however, mine began after the Covid vaccine, 24 hours after to be precise. I dread going to bed at night because I know in the middle of the night I will wake up and my body will feel asleep. Anyone else have it this severe?
Regards,
Tiffany Menendez

Actually my PN gets worse the more I sit. Going to concerts or performances that have periods of sitting for an hour or more before intermission are difficult. But the worse is flying. Even sitting on the aisle seat in walking occasionally only helps a little. I haven't made a good plan for flying. Anyone got any ideas?

Welcome Tiffany @tmenendez, We are happy you found Connect! Hopefully you can find some answers and a treatment that helps with your symptoms. I can't imagine dreading going to bed at night. That has to be difficult. I've had hands and arms fall asleep but not my entire body.
