Anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine?
I am 85 with small fiber neuropathy that is getting worse. My neurologist thought it would be a good idea for me to wait with the covid vaccine and not be first in line to see how it affected other people with neuropathy. Probably because it is a new technology. Has anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine? If so, which vaccine?

I received 2nd Moderna vaccine on a Wednesday morning, had severe immune response for 36+ hours, & on Friday scalding in feet & legs & genitals. Pins & needles in hands etc six months of tests later & it's SFN. I think the Immune response to the vaccine triggered full blown sfn

1 ReactionI didn’t have a diagnosis yet and my PCP told me to go ahead and take the vaccine because of my asthma, heart issues, and diabetes.
I ended up in the ER both times that I took the Moderna vaccine. From that point forward, my neuropathy begin getting worse, and now the damage is done. Now, I have the diagnosis, and they’re saying that the vaccine played a part. Plus, I’ve had a positive Covid test five times since taking the vaccine.

4 ReactionsIDK about boosters specifically, but researchers at MGH have had success treating Covid vaccine neuropathy using steroids and IVIG. You should google for it if you’re still having issues.

3 ReactionsI agree, my neuropathy got worse. I never had neuropathy until after my last vaccination in Sept, 2022.
I came down with COVID-19 a few days after Thanksgiving 2022.
I was diagnosed with PN the beginning of the month, April 7th.
Hope this helps!
