What is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy is a blanket term used to describe many conditions characterized by damage to the peripheral nervous system – the nerves that carry sensory signals from the brain and spinal cord to all the other parts of the body. When motor, sensory, or autonomic nerve pathways are damaged, there is a loss of critical signals, abnormal signaling messages, or erroneous signals sent when there shouldn’t be any signals.

Types pf peripheral neuropathy include Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), meralgia paresthetica (numbness and tingling of one thigh), and complex regional pain syndrome (excessive and prolonged pain in and affected arm or leg).

Signs and Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy

If you notice any of these symptoms following a vaccination, it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly for proper evaluation and treatment.

MOTOR

• muscle weakness
• painful cramps
• muscle shrinking

SENSORY

• inability to feel vibrations or touch
• loss of reflexes
• loss of position orientation
• loss of a sense of balance
• inability to detect injury or temperature changes
• pain receptors firing spontaneously without reason
• exaggerated pain signals from light touch

AUTONOMIC

• excessive sweating
• intolerance to heat
• loss of blood vessels’ ability to properly regulate blood pressure
• gastrointestinal problems
• possible difficulty swallowing food

Can I be compensated for my vaccine related injury?

If you develop an injury after receiving a vaccine, you may be entitled to compensation. Here are the steps to take to pursue potential compensation:

Step 1 – Confirm Information on Recent Vaccines
Gather information on the date, brand (if noted), and type of vaccine(s) you’ve had within the last three years that preceded your symptoms. Once you have this information, move on to step two.

Step 2 – Notify the Doctor Who Diagnosed Your Injury
If you are currently being treated for your injury and realize that your symptoms began after a recent vaccination, you should make sure to bring this information to your medical provider’s attention. Your physician may not be aware of the connection, but having this information recorded in your patient file improves medical documentation that helps everyone get a better picture of any and all factors that could be the reason you developed a vaccine injury. In many cases, the medical providers are not aware of a person’s vaccination history and, therefore, may not consider the vaccination as a potential trigger.

Step 3- Seek a Free Consultation with an Experienced Vaccine Injury Attorney
If you received a vaccine and began to have symptoms following receipt of the vaccine, you may be eligible to receive monetary compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
