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?

Pray tell, what is “government vaccine recovery”?

The military never reported my case.

I’m 62 with sfn and I’ve had all the boosters (Moderna) and I haven’t experienced any change in my symptoms after any of the boosters.

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.

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.
