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.

@hello2 I took the first two Covid shots in January of 2021. Two days after I retired from nursing and within the six week time frame from getting the second Covid shot I woke up with head to toe pinpricks including the eyes. I asked the neurologist how many of his patients had this. He said none this is rare. Mine is Small nerve fiber- idiopathic because they took 20 tubes of blood to test for autoimmune diseases, heavy metals and other things. They were negative. I take alpha-lipoic acid 600 mg daily. My pin pricks now come and go. I have a burning sensation in my left hand that comes and goes. I was also diagnosed with PSVT which I believe is from the SNF. I feel like it could be from the shots but don't think they will find out till years from now how this has affected some people. I so far have not had Covid but I have had the five shots and will take the next one too. I recently had a little bit of pressure in the back of my head and thought it was a headache. When I got home from a trip the next day I had pressure in my head and felt like I was getting a headache. I didn't get the headache but the pressure was coming on and then acted like it was gonna stop then started up again. My BP was up which SNF can affect that. But again I won't know for sure. I had 3 ER visits in 5 days because. my BP went very high. I have never had pressure like that in my head that comes and goes like it did. All of a sudden it stopped. My cardiologist changed my medicine and gave me something that I can take that may keep me out of the ER. But SNF can affect your autonomic nervous system which includes the Heart rate, blood pressure, stomach, intestines and bladder. Covid shots were developed to help stop Covid. It most likely will take years for more things to come out about the shots. Side effects and things. I don't know that the shots did this to me but I find it funny that it was within the six week period for symptoms to happen. I looked at the VAERS page in the CDC and it said side effects could happen within the six week time frame. The Idiopathic part is a hard pill to swallow. Sorry for such a long note but this is my story. @rnlorena
