Anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine?

Posted by cue @cue, Feb 15, 2021

I am 85 with small fiber neuropathy that is getting worse. My neurologist thought it would be a good idea for me to wait with the covid vaccine and not be first in line to see how it affected other people with neuropathy. Probably because it is a new technology. Has anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine? If so, which vaccine?

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

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

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.

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.
