COVID vaccines and neuropathy

Posted by cue @cue, Feb 15, 2021

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?

Tried Nervive with alpha lipoic acid and vitB12 did nothing for me. Sorry to say. I will try any suggestions I read about on this site as you are the only place with comments and answers.

At some point, does it all get to be to much. I just do not fully understand chronic pain….I’m tired of being a Guinea pig.

Does anyone know if you can take Lyrica along with Benfotiamine?

I am 78 year old, I had Moderna vaccines, and had my 3rd booster (also Moderna) in Dec 22.. I never had Nueropathy before, and am not Diabetic...
My GP did not seem terribly interested when I told him I thought I have it, I have an appointment with him May 1, and want him to send me to a specialist to find out for sure that is what I have.
I am lucky that I am not in a lot of pain, and do not have any trouble sleeping, but feel it is progressing from my toes, further along my feet... Just want to know for sure what it is....

Hearing a lot of messages about vaccines and Neuropathy symptoms, think possibly a connection?

I had neuropathy after the 4th vaccine. Already have fibromyalgia due to toxins. Pain went up 10 fold for weeks until I got acupuncture. Moderna did me in. But Pfizer started slowing me down. Also got the flu shot and got burning nerves from that and never had that before. So my body changed. Getting microcurrent now and seem to be mending.

Can you explain what microcurrent is for neuropathy? Do you have vibrations? I have had vibrations for two years.
