Hi Martin, So sorry to hear you too have experienced this reaction from the Pfizer jab. Do you know if your Covid antibodies are still high? Mine are still very high, though have reduced a bit in the last year. I'm still doing the CBD and PEA (and Advil). I haven't found anything else that helps. I do use a magnesium and/or a capsicum cream on my feet/legs. I'm not sure it helps, but it doesn't hurt. I've recently had another nerve conductivity test to see if there has been any change to the neuropathy. The sort-of good news is that it has only gotten slightly worse over the year and it is still only 'sensory' as opposed to affecting the muscles. But I am noticing more numbness in my legs in the last 6 months 🙁 ... I've been tested for autoimmune issues, but they come back 'normal', so I can only assume that the spike is perhaps still active and the reason for the continued high antibodies (otherwise, why would my body keep producing them?). At this point, I am not hopeful for a return to pre-jab health, as there are now nerves in my legs that show no response to the nerve conductivity testing, and I have not had a single day without the tinnitus since the jab. I recently purchased one of those electrical impulse discs that you put your feet on and it sends an electrical current through your feet and lower legs. It may help a bit, but again, I'm not 100% sure. I have noticed a bit less burning (soles of feet) at night - again, not sure it helps, but it doesn't seem to make it worse. I am trying to keep as active as possible (walking, swimming), as I am unsure how this will affect me in the years to come... I'm sorry I don't have better news or suggestions for you. Basically, it sucks! Let me know if you find anything of value. Cheers, Michele

Hi Michele,

Thank you so much for your reply. I am in New Zealand and health care is very poor. Your situation is so much like mine. Since this happened I reduced my work to two days a week, but I am doubtful that I can even manage that as my symptoms continue to decline. Like you I got severe tinnitus just hours after the vaccine and then severe vertigo which lasted months, but fortunately got a lot better (not 100%). Up until recently the situation was at least manageable, but now the muscle twitching is starting in other regions (started in calfs) and I am suffering from severe cramps all over the body. I have also continued to exercise daily as much as possible and feel it is at least slowing the deterioration. After reading your reply I will push for the tests you have had, nerve conductivity and COVID antibodies - hope they can do these tests in New Zealand. Also like you I tried CBD and it did not help. Tried all sorts of painkillers and anti depressants, which if anything, just made things worse. Doctors keep suggesting anxiety, but I have ruled that out as I have come to accept my situation and just make the best of it. I really don't believe it to be the cause. If I find out any new information or something that helps I will let you know, Thanks again. Martin
