COVID vaccines and neuropathy

I’m so sorry about your experience. I can’t offer any advice regarding treatment, but as someone who cannot receive additional boosters, I can tell you what I’m doing to try to protect myself. I was diagnosed with vaccine induced neuropathy after my first Moderna booster. Thankfully, I have completely healed. I run the risk of a return of the neuropathy if I get another vaccine OR if I actually get Covid. In place of a vaccine, I received AtsraZeneca’s monoclonal antibody shots. This provided me with antibodies that my immune system did not have to generate, therefore my immune system did not overreact causing damage to my nerves. I was supposed to get my second dose last March but it was no longer effective with the new variants. I am waiting for government approval of a modified version of the AstraZeneca monoclonal antibody treatment or a new version of something similar from Regeneron. I also always wear a mask anywhere indoors since I am under vaccinated at this point. Again, this doesn’t help your current condition but it may be something to investigate so that you feel more protected. Best to you.

No one has even talked to me about the antibody treatment. They did talk to me about antibody treatment when my sister who is 81 got covid 2 years ago and I had to decide on her course of treatment. I also had Moderna. They say it could heal but it will take time. They stopped me 2nd and all other shots. Thank goodness. 2 other people I know, they didnt and their damage might be permanent.
