I had the same sensations however most of mine was bilateral.

I had hip then lower back pain and arthritic type joint pain that would move around 24 hours after the 1st shot... Then the parathesia, numb extremities and other issues started about 3 weeks later.

I personally wouldn't go and see a neuro unless you are having weakness in any of your limbs... Not perceived weakness but actual weakness like you can't grasp a glass or your keys.

However it's up to you on what you feel is prudent... I am probably hesitant because my neuro thought it was in my head. So that has made me hesitant to seek out a Doctor. Although my Orthopedic Dr did state she has see this before and did say this was most likely due to the vaccine.

Eventually it subsided for 6 months... However I have recently had another flare up a few weeks ago. My issues are bilateral, tend to move around and with no weakness so while I am not happy it's back and I am a little pensive I am not losing sleep over it. Mine seems to be like small fiber neuropathy... Hot... Cold... Prickly and feels at the skin surface. Just today the balls of my feet felt like they were on fire for 30-45 minutes then they were fine.

I found the below link along with others regarding similar reactions to a flu vaccine. There is a private group that you can join as well although it's pretty dead now.

tingling after Swine Flu Vaccinne - Chapter 2

Or just search "Medhelp swine flu tingling" and you swill see loads of threads.

The tapering off of activity on this forum leads me to believe most of these people are mostly ok. I applied for the private group last year and the moderator who was pretty active on the Medhelp Swine Flu forums responded that she is much better.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Also don't forget to pop in and say you are ok if everything subsides. Others will find this news good.

Take a deep breath and just think this will all pass. Maybe not tomorrow or next week but you will be fine. We are here for you.
