COVID boosters affecting peripheral neuropathy
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.

It is so very different how it affects people. I had my sixth Moderna in September of this year. I really don't want Covid because I have enough to contend with.
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.
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!
I’ve been wondering the same thing . After my 2nd vaccine neuropathy jumped all over my feet , and now up my calves . The tingling and tightness at my ankles is unbearable. The neurologist said I have neuropathy, I shouldn’t be able to feel my toes , but I do , he said I shouldn’t feel the cold or hot at floors , and bath water , but I do . I asked him some straight up questions, and he said I don’t know , he said he doesn’t specialize in neuropathy. So , I feel hot and cold at my feet, I also feel pressure… like driving a car at the petals. It’s all strange to me . I’m tired of all the adds to fix neuropathy, snake oils and such . I truly hope someone can help
