Hello.

About 3 weeks ago I had an encounter with a bat. I decided to get the rabies vaccine to be safe. I received my first dose of Rabavert and the pep and was fine. 3 days later I received dose 2 of Rabavert. That’s when my life changed. I started having numbness and tingling in all extremities. Weakness in my legs and burning pain in my spine and neck. The pain was so severe I was in tears a lot. I went to ER and told it was anxiety. I received my 3rd dose and everything worsened. I reached out to an infectious disease doc who said I was most likely having an adverse reaction to the vaccine. I went to the ER again as I was so dizzy and in pain. They did a lumbar puncture and now I have a terrible spinal headache on top of the burning pain. All labs normal. I feel like I’ve poisoned myself… I’ve missed 2 weeks of work. reading this forum has helped to know I’m not alone. Thank you.
