The importance of safety cannot be overemphasized, considering that pain, numbness, dizziness, and drowsiness can lead to physical injuries especially with increasing age. Adams D, Suhr OB, Hund E, et al. Lancet Infect Dis. The process that causes the disorder is probably explained by the fact that the varicella-zoster virus CD8+killer cells, after vaccination, are temporarily unable to control VZV due to the extensive change of simple CD8+cells to the COVID-19 virus CD8+killer cells.

A case series of SFN-associated Sjgren syndrome showed persistent improvement after IVIG treatment.35 IVIG also had therapeutic effects on SFN associated with sarcoidosis in a large cohort study.19 In contrast, a recent double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of IVIG for painful idiopathic SFN had no significant effect on pain.36 It is unknown whether IVIG improved numbness or IENFD in idiopathic SFN, but these findings suggest that IVIG should be used to treat SFN associated with Sjgren or sarcoidosis and not idiopathic painful SFN. Vaccination is one of the several known triggers of Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS). Gibbons CH. Neurol Sci. According to reports published in the VAERS database, COVID-19 vaccines have several local and systemic neurological complications that occur in different people, from mild to severe, depending on age, sex, history of the disease, and pre-existing immunity [7].
