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?

Do you mind sharing more about your neuropathy diagnosis and any treatments you have tried?
Your story sounds very similar to mine. Three years ago, coincidentally or not following the first Covid injection symptoms started. In my feet, and now three years later going up my legs. Discomfort never goes away. Gets worse in the afternoon. Have you had an MRI? After two EMG tests they ruled out neuropathy and call this idiopathic what a silly word. I live near Boston so have no info on the South. The one treatment that alleviates my pain are my special socks with get inserts that I keep in the freezer. They are very soft material and the cold feels good. I got them on Amazon. I'm also new to Connect but I'm finding comfort in sharing new information. Good luck to you.
AFTER A LOT OF BLOOD WORK AND A DOCTOR CLOSLY LISTENING TO MY PROBLEMS, I HAVE LUPUS WHICH DAMAGED MY NERVES.
I'm sorry . That can be a scarey diagnosis. I'm hoping with good medical advisors you'll find your way 🙏
Is your TN causing numbness too, pain or both? Are you treating it?
I am almost that is how mine started summer2021. The booster. Not an anti vac person, but am/was in healthcare, and have seen Gillian Bare post vaccines, but wasn't aware of CIDP or Polyneuropathy. My Neuro is not convinced. Still numb from head to toe. No treatment has reversed it. How about you? How long , who's treating/Specialty?
