Hi Terry, How did they manage to give you a double dose of H1N1 vaccine. I am glad that the treatments you are taking now are working for you.

I work as a Care-Aide for a group home for Developmentally Challenged Adults. A job requirement was to be vaccinated for Flu and for H1N1.
We took several of our residents to the clinic and received the H1N1 shot in Oct. 09. There was a shortage of regular Flu vaccine and so we were asked to return in two weeks time. I was off duty so my wife and I went to the clinic for the regular Flu shot. The administrating nurse grabbed the wrong vial and injected me with the second dose of H1N1 vaccine which in 09 contained the adjuvent "squalene" used by the pharmaceutical company to extend the potency of the vaccine. I was assured by the supervisory staff that no harm would come, and so received the regular flu shot as well. PN symptoms began to manifest about a month later and have continued to this day.

That is such a shame. I am really sorry to hear that. I am sorry you have to go through this due to an error.

Compared to many who suffer from neuropathic disorders, my case is mild. Thanks to a positive attitude, great support from my family and my medical and naturopathic resources, we seem to have rounded a corner.I look forward to contributing to the forum in whatever manner I can, in hopes that my experience can be of benefit. The Internet, for all it's faults and dangers, has been a marvelous tool in my recovery efforts thus far. What a blessing to have been a part of it's development.

Ok I did let my rheumo know that I stopped the plaqunil. I spoke to his medical assistant and left him a message. She called back and said he would like me to cut the dose in half. I refused and she said she would let him know. After some thought and calming down. I realized what he said todo made sense. I called back to tell her I would take it and she said the doctor said he would look at my chart to find another treatment. She told me to wait a few days and not to re-start. Tkhe pain I have been experiencing has not gotten any better. Like I said I still have the PN symptoms but I also has a lot of muscle and joint pain. I had my PCP write me a slip for the labs that were suggested on here. I had them drawn today. I hope something shows so this can be figured out. Thanks for all the advice Hopeful
