Anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine?

Will do. Magnesium hasn't bothered me. I take it in the evening to help relax before bed. I think Venlafaxine is more for anxiety but can help calm nerves. I felt it increased my anxiety and decreased my appetite, but I was only on it for a week and I have never been on anxiety medication before. My neurologist warned that it can upset your stomach (take with food), but often works well for her patients.

Thank you - How long have you had it and what do you do when you have really bad pain? Is there a specific drug that you can take for extreme neuropathy leg and foot pain (some days are better than others-
some are worse than others) It has got to be a nerve pain medication - aleve and tylenol just do not help hardly any. Thanks, Betty G.

My symptoms started the day before Thanksgiving 2022. My symptoms are everchanging from extreme cold sensations, to pins and needles, and a sunburn feeling. Now I am also feeling a deep tissue ache. I occasionally take advil plus B-12 and magnesium. I have not needed stronger pain medication yet. I am just very uncomfortable and anxious. I know of others that take gabapentin. I hope you can get some relief.

Interesting results with Ivermectin for treating Covid/Vaccination induced PN. Hopefully this will help others.

HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED NEUROPATHY AND NERVE PAIN FROM HEAD TO TOE FROM THE VACCINE AND/OR COVID?

I have neuropathy like symptoms from my neck down since late November. I believe that 2 covid boosters and having covid within a 6 month period has put my immune system into overdrive. My doctor instructed me to get the 2nd booster in October. I also had low B-12 and am in peri-menopause. I feel like all 3 of these things are contributing to my varying symptoms. I am scheduled for a nerve study later this month.

Thank you for reaching out. My problems started 12/21 - I got my first booster the month before. My daughter had covid in 12/21. I got a really bad cold with a cough. I didn't go for testing because the wait was 3 to 4 hrs long and it was just before Christmas. I think I had covid. Each month my nerve problem was getting worst. Last month on MSNBC a congressman stated that ever since he had covid, he has had nerve problems from head to toe. I said to my husband OMG it sounds like me. I'm on 200 mg of Lyrica a day. It is helping, but there are days that are really tough. Good luck with your nerve study. Let me know how you make out.

@hello2, I moved your question to this existing discussion:

Yes, I developed neuropathy after my first booster shot. If this can give you any hope, my neurologist believed that this vaccine induced neuropathy could heal and thankfully, after about eight months, I was completely healed. Nerve tests indicated that my nerves were very healthy at that point. I truly wish you the best.

I am now taking Lyrica . I'm up to 100 mg twice a day. It is helping. But I do still have some pain.
