Has anyone noticed increased peripheral neuropathy after COVID boosters? It’s time for my COVID booster but I’m worried about it increasing my PN symptoms. I stay out of crowds but I’ve read on Connect about COVID causing or increasing PN . Appreciate any input.

I've had 3 Pfizer boosters and they had no effect on my small fiber PN but I only have numbness with no pain.

Anyone associate their PN/ symptoms with Covid vaccinations? I

My feet alternate burning/freezing. Both painful

Why get them some of those vaccines do have side affects and neuropathy is one of them it doesn’t affect everyone but does affect some

I got Covid after a trip to Scotland in March and got PN. The PN lasted 4 months, but when stressed it would flare up in my left hand only. I got a Pfizer Covid vaccine on November 4 ( I have had all my Covid vaccines) and the PN is in full force. I feel that it’s actually worse than after I had Covid. You may try the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. It is non-mRNA.

There has been a covid vaccine discussion group since 2021. It has a lot of helpful information on it. Maybe these comments should be transferred to that discussion group.

I had my sixth Covid vaccine last week. Five were Pfizer and the last one was Moderna. None of them made any difference to my peripheral neuropathy.

I have peripheral neuropathy from chemo and can't drive. I've had all the covid vaccines and booster. I had the most recent one in September along with the RVS vaccine. I had no trouble a all.
I read that getting a shot for shingles can aggrivate neuropahy so I skipped that one.

Thinking back my PN started at about the time of my last Pfizer booster. I have not had any medical person tell me that the Vax caused it, I am just convinced that it did. Now there is more being written or blogged on the subject.
When my PN began I was assuming that it was an inner ear issue as I noticed it first in a slight balance issue.
I feel fortunate that I have been diagnosed as having only mild PN after an EMG was done. So far the PN has been confined to the ankle area with a tightness, however, I have had a couple of issues of shooting pain up the lower leg.

Does Mayo Clinic have any reliable information for someone who seemed to have gotten peripheral neuropathy after covid vaccines? We are very concerned about getting or not getting the fourth injection. Please inform!
