Hi, so couple years ago (2 or 3) I had a bacterial infection and got it multiple times. Because of this I had to repeatedly take metronidazole. It caused me to have a severe reaction that caused horrible nerve pain. My calves were burning, my body was twitching all over. I had nervous shocks all over. I stopped taking it and got prescribed some benzos and the pain stopped eventually. However, I still continue to have non stop twitches in my left leg and toes. I still don?t know the diagnosis as seeing a neurologist is so expensive and i?m poor. A lot of medications I took after the nerve damage caused me to have the same symptoms but basic meds like dph or panadol didn?t affect me. My question here though is related to the cavity 19 vaccine. I want to take it but I am deathly scared that it will cause that agonizing pain again. What is your advice?

Hello, the benefits of taking covid vaccine far outweigh the issues you are having. I suggest you should go for the vaccination.
