Hi, i am new here and very happy i found this forum. All of the info are very helpful for me.

I have completed the 4-shot a month ago. I noticed some weird pain only after the 2nd shot but still managed to have the shot completed.

After 1 day of the 2nd shot, i happened to feel sharp shooting pain around my right wrist at night (the 2nd shot was on the right upper arm) then it started getting worse by spreading up to my elbow and towards my upper arm and sometimes upper chest area.
I can also feel the sharp pain at bitten finger (on the right hand).

What is weird is the pain always get worse at night time where i have to wake up every night.

Just wonder anyone experience the sharp pain here?

Thanks for those who are very caring here, the forum really made my anxiety gone.

Hello Allena, yes, I along with some others had shooting pain. Mine was also at night, waking me up. Glad the forum has been useful for you, and thank you for posting.

Hi eliLake! How are you doing now? Is your body temperature regulation improved. I have a similar problem. Today morning I woke up to find my body temperature 96.2F

Hi Batbite
How is your condition these days? Thanks for being such supportive so far. I pray for you and others who still suffering.

Allena, I am doing very well these days. I sleep well and have no residual neurological effects from the PEP. I am very, very thankful and do continue to pray for anyone who has an experience with rabies/rabies treatment.

I am very happy for you.
Last night it hit me hard again. I felt stiff and sharp pain around the bitten finger and palm area. I wish it is gone away from my life in no time!
Cheers to everyone

I suddenly started feeling like I am dying. This kind of thing has gone for awhile until i happened to get a few more weird pain at some part of my body. Just now, it happened at my lower back for a minute.
I never had sound sleep for a while now. I miss those old time.
I totally hate that it affects the mental health too!

hi everyone! I got scratched deeply by my cat last february 16 and received PEP. He also did try to bite me, there were small wounds and I wasn't sure so I pointed them to the female doctor who was on duty in the ER. I was going to give him chicken and he went for my hand.

FI completed 5 shots plus ERIG (on day3 because at that time i felt like I was categorized wrongly by the male doctor) even if I told the doctors I completed a series of 4shots from Oct-Nov 2016.. Now I feel like I was over vaccinated. Should have known better.

Anyway just as May started, probably the 3rd day or so, I felt the back of my left hand felt like it was burning. And now its the 7th of May my left wrist feels like it is burning. :(

My anxiety is not helping. Plus my parents thinks my cats are a nuisance because of what happened so I can't easily open up to them. Good thing I came across this thread. Hope someone who had the same symptoms can help!

honestly same. one minute I would be just positive and then anxiety starts kicking back in. :(

Guys, I haven’t posted or been on in several months as things have been quite positive for my wife’s symptoms.

To refresh memories for the newcomers, my wife had received the PostExposure and 2 rounds of rabies vaccine in OCT 2019 and within 24 hours had severe twitches, nerves pain and paresthesias ( pins and needles) they waxed and waned for about 3-4 months. We did all the tests with best neurologists in town (HOUSTON mind you so we have the best healthcare available) we did physical exams, EMG, deep panel bloodwork, MRI of brain and spine.

Ultimately everything was negative and no signs of Neuro issues according to the data or consensus from the doctors. Over the last 3 months or so, she really turned the corner physically due to primarily holistic methods. A strict schedule of natural whole food vitamins, mostly vegetarian diet, and activity 5 days a week, Pilates, strength, waking or running all benefiting her twitches and nerve pain drastically almost eliminating them down about 85-90% in comparison. With the symptoms dropping then the anxiety and stress levels also dissipated. When this began she had vivid acute pain and twitches about every 2-5 seconds and it decreased tremendously in volume and frequency to maybe every 5 minutes or longer to the point of her barely noticing anything at all.

All of a sudden on Monday 5/5/2020 a tad bit of regression. Her left calf and shin area tightened up drastically, exhibited some heightened muscle twitches and pain all over again. Unfortunately this has led to some physiological regression as well as we are having a level of defeat once again that this is more than the “ adverse reaction” doctors are telling us and possibly a neuro issue such as MMN or CIPD that has been discussed on this forum prior. We’ve made a follow up EMG appointment with neuro in a couple weeks as this has been a 9-10 month situation thus far.

I am holding our hope that it was just a flare up as her calf has seemed to calm down already since Monday but the anxiety and stress fallout is apparently. I’ve done a quick scan through this thread with some interesting questions below with the hope that you all can help me answer. I am simply trying to find a baseline of where we fall according to your data and results. Please help wherever possible, desperate for answers and info.


Thank you all!
