The reporter is the patient.  A 66-year-old male patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), on 12Apr2021 as dose 2, single (Lot number: EN0158) at the age of 64 years, in left arm for covid-19 immunisation.

The event "idiopathic peripheral neuropathy" required physician office visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Antibody test: (unspecified date) Normal, notes: he reported he can't tell you how many diagnostics they've run, antibodies, serology, everything's normal; Electromyogram: (2022) Neuropathy issues, Idiopathic peripheral neuropath, notes: Result: Neuropathy issues, Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy; Unit: Not Provided; Serology test: (unspecified date) Normal, notes: he reported he can't tell you how many diagnostics they've run, antibodies, serology, everything's normal; Ultrasound scan: (unspecified date) idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, notes: He had ultrasounds and all types of electrical stimulus testing and was diagnosed with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy.  Clinical Course: Male consumer stated that he has had 4 Pfizer Covid 19 vaccines and at the same time developed Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy. He relays that he had been to a Neurologist and Pediatrist and has not found any answers. He would like to know if there is information on this being reported with the vaccine. He stated that his brother has also had 4 Pfizer shots and has the same issue. He relays that there is a disconnect because if you googles Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy and Covid vaccines then a lot of information comes up. Surgery for prostate issues He recovered completely from the surgery; he talked to his surgeon and everyone about the feet, trying to connect the feet; and they said they'd never heard of feet neuropathy after prostate surgery. This consumer is the patient who called regarding Pfizer product, Covid-19 Vaccine. He has had 4 doses of the vaccine. Around the end of May2021 or 01Jun2021 he developed idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. He asked if Pfizer hears about this event often. He started to notice some significant feet issues, neuropathy issues. He went to string of doctors, podiatrists for 2-3 months who couldn't figure anything out. He then went to a neurologist, and they can't figure anything out. He had ultrasounds and all types of electrical stimulus testing and was diagnosed with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. He had a second vaccine on 12Apr2021, and event got worse, he could barely exercise, his feet felt like they were on fire. He went to maybe 7 or 8 doctor's visits. He keeps researching and sees the Covid-19 Vaccine was associated with all types of neuropathy issues. He called because this was not a good situation for him, and he wanted to report this information. His condition doesn't improve, he was taking vitamins and doing all types of stuff but can get no medical help. Now he was hearing they are coming out with another vaccine, and he was not going to get that vaccine. There has been no treatment or medical intervention to report. Family Medical History Relevant to events, His brother also had the same issue and that's what caused them to think this is not coincidental, there's no way. Just trying to figure out what's causing their problems, both have, he doesn't know what's caused it; if you do covid neuropathy on the internet it flies everywhere at you. Had relevant tests regarding testing, he reported he can't tell you how many diagnostics they've run, antibodies, serology, everything's normal, it's fine. He also had an ultrasound and EMG test. The EMG test he does not know what EMG stands for, but they shock you to confirm your diagnosis and it was evident the EMG test that he had neuropathy issues which he has never had before, diagnosed with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. All of these tests were done in the past 6 months.
