Normal. I had a little neuropathy in my hands due to Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism, but kept it controlled by taking vitamin B12.

The next day, about 24 hours after the vaccine, I started having pins and needles sensation starting in my back, then chest and progressing outwards throughout my entire body. When it moved up onto my face, it got rather frightening. I called the health department. They said they were not familiar with this reaction and I should call my dr asap. They supposedly noted it with the CDC.

My dr prescribed 3 days of prednisone. The pins and needles settled after a few weeks. We debated and delayed taking a second shot. I eventually went to another dr's office for shot #2 on 5/3/21. This dr suggested I might be allergic to the serum with the MRNA from Pfizer. So, my 2nd shot was from Moderna. I had the same pins and needles reaction throughout my body only it began within 30 minutes upon administration of the shot. I received a benadryl and additional prednisone.

After the 2nd shot, I continued to have neuropathy especially in my hands for several months off and on. I revisted my dr and was sent to a neurologist. The neurologist checked for carpal tunnel and other nerve issues. At the follow-up visit, the neurologist told me all was normal. He also said my troubles were not due to the covid shot. I did not agree. I did not return. Luckily, my symptoms finaly subsided for the most part. I will not take another shot or booster.

I was so fustrated that the neurologist just blew off the fact that the vaccine could have caused my reaction. I really wanted some kind of paperwork from the dr to exempt me from any further vaccines if things were ever mandated. I quit trying to get that paperwork. I am thankful that things righted themselves for me. I am so sorry to hear about so many who have lasting issues.
