I think I have it in my toes. I cannot bend my toes down.

I wonder if those who have DISH can somewhat be corelated with covid vaccines? I have had 5 vaccinations for covid.

I have not heard that it is correlated at all with Covid vaccines. I had the initial 2 Moderna plus 1 .

I have trouble bending my toes as well. But I also just received blood work back. I asked the doctor to measure my uric acid level. It is elevated. I have read it in the past looking at several articles about dish, that some patients have elevated uric acid levels. They don’t believe that one causes the other, but that they have common risk factors between the two diseases. So I’m not sure if the bending of the toes is because of a dish or is it because of the elevated uric acid levels. If I had to guess, it would be that the dish is causing it.

It may affect different DISH sufferers differently, as it asks your immune system to make antibodies I have DISH and 5 Covid vax and have not noticed a difference for me. I don't doubt at all that others may experience their reactions in a different or more intense way.
