Anyone had a problem with neuropathy after receiving the vaccine?
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?

Hi - random twitching at times, but not noticeable to others. I try to think positive that it means some muscles or nerves are alive 😎. Good luck with your journey snd answers.
Vaccine almost 100% sure it was caused by the shot. Try and do everything right and get PN,
Yes but it takes years!
Dear God it sounds so horrible. Yes the anxiety from what comes next is very unsettling to say the least. Prayers for sure,

1 ReactionMy doctor told me to dump the statin and take vitamin B3 ( niacin) it does same thing.
I don’t get twitching, but a tingly feeling in left ear, like constant feeling of hair in there, and left nostril which causes me to sneeze all of the time as well.
But now i am getting pins and needles like shocks when i get in bed at night which i never had before booster. I think the pharmaceutical companies need to take these reverse reactions more seriously.

1 ReactionI have sensory and motor peripheral neuropathy. My symptoms began 2 weeks after the first Pfizer vaccine. The motor neuropathy causes some muscle twitching, but that symptom has been improving over time. Has your neurologist tested you for autoimmune antibodies?

1 ReactionThe more people report these adverse side effects at VAERS, the more likely it is that the makers of these vaccines will look into it.
@pacer3702, no he has not. So you also experienced new onset neuropathy post vaccine?
