I have not had my small vessel peripheral neuropathy formally diagnosed yet, but it started after I had COVID in April 2023. It lasted around 4 months and would flare up (palms would itch) when I was stressed. I had my Covid vaccine 3 weeks ago and it’s back and actually worse than the first time. Maybe it’s from Covid?

Hi @dcgoebel62, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear your neuropathy symptoms started after having COVID and then again flare after the vaccine. There is another discussion you might find helpful.

Is itchy palms the only symptom you have?

Well when the Covid first came out I got my first shots in January. It was March when I woke up with the full onset of pinpricks. I counted the days from the last shot and it was just under 5 weeks from the shots when I started the pinpricks. I don't know. I have had all the Covid shots up to date. I am not finding any answers yet to the neck pressure and it is frustrating. I go to my regular Dr. next month and I will be questioning him at length about the recent problems that I have had. For me to wake up with total onset of pinpricks is mind boggling. I do understand the word idiopathic meaning no known cause but that word makes me more frustrated. No one in my family has had anything like the Small Nerve Fiber.
