COVID vaccines and neuropathy

I really believe I got worse after the Covid vaccines. I had tingling and burning in my toes since 2012. After taking the vaccines I became a person who needed assistance doing almost everything. In the meantime, my A1C was below six. And, my doctor took me off all diabetic medications. But the neuropathy kept getting worse. I was dropping things, didn’t feel the gas peddle or brake, numbness and tingling in hands and feet, burning all the time; it never stopped. However, we were told to take the vaccine to keep our jobs. So, I got both does of the Moderna. I ended up in the ER with very high blood pressure after both shots. Shortly after getting vaccinated, the pain got so much worse. I made an appointment with PCP and got into see a Neurologist. I saw him the first time, added more Gabapentin and sent me on my way. Covid hit full blast and I never got to see that neurologist again. I began to think this pain was all in my head so I continued to work (as a first grade teacher). My husband was driving me to and from. I cried all the time because of the pain and felt like I was slowly losing myself. So, this is not even a dent into my story but I truly agree that the Covid Vaccine made my neuropathy worse.

I developed sensory and motor peripheral neuropathy after the Pfizer vaccine. Information and support is available from the Neuro V Long-Haulers Facebook group and also React19.org. I don't know how I would have navigated my vaccine injury without that Facebook group.
