No, but both times I’ve had Covid my neuropathy has gotten worse.

I had the Covid vaccinations right after Covid hit. I had my second one at the very end of January of 2021. In March I decided to retire. Two days after I did I woke up with full onset of pinpricks (head to toe and eyes.) The neurologist said it was rare and he had not had any other patients that happened too. It was within the 6 week time frame to have a reaction. But I don't know. No one else in my family has had anything like this. I had my last Covid shot 9/20/23. I will continue to get the shots because I really don't want anything else. Having the last 4 have not caused me any issues.

Absolutely. I was diagnosed with vaccine induced neuropathy after my first Moderna booster shot. I was not the only patient with the same condition seen by my neurologist.

No. I had all of my COVID shots/boosters many months before the onset of my neuropathy symptoms. I had my fourth shot about four months before my symptoms presented themselves. I had no flare-up of my condition when I received the bivalent a few months ago.
