I have neuropathy caused by DADS which is a variant of CIDP. The symptoms began within 2 months of getting my first two Pfizer vaccines and progressed over the next year or so. I am convinced that is what caused all of this though it has not been confirmed. I went on to get the first booster before making the connection as my symptoms were somewhat mild at that point. It was after the booster that symptoms really took off and changed my life, forcing me into early retirement. I refuse to get any more Covid vaccines unless/until I am 109% guaranteed they did not cause my illness. Not only that I refuse any vaccine that is not absolutely imperative. This illness is hell!

I woke up two days after I retired and I had full onset of pinpricks all over including my eyes. I went to the neurologist and had a bunch of tests. The skin biopsy showed I had small nerve fiber idiopathic. I had two Moderna vaccines in January and about 5 weeks later is when I woke up with the pinpricks. It was within the 6 week time frame for reactions to happen if it was going to that I had the pinpricks. I don’t know if that caused it. I asked the neurologist how many patients that he took care of that had this happen. His reply was none it’s rare. I will not know for sure if the vaccine caused it. I had 20 tubes of blood checking for many things which were negative. No one in my family has small nerve fiber. Because small nerve fiber can cause GI problems or heart problems has anyone gotten the GI problems or heart issues before being diagnosed with small nerve fiber?

I am almost 99% sure that the Covid vaccine is behind a lot of my symptoms but the doctors aren't saying anything about that.
I have full body trunk legs arms hands feet peripheral neuropathy, they call it idiopathic , which means they don't know. I know how you feel and everyone out there that's experiencing what they think is a side effect of the vaccine.
