This article I just found today, discusses the rabies vaccine and symptoms of side effects from it:

Also this Yahoo article reports some CDC comments on the failure of this year's flu vaccine:

The comments are very interesting...so do please check them out.

Thanks for the article MrsD.

I saw another article today where the CDC stated the Flu Vaccine is 50%-55% effective on a good year.

After my issues I am going to skip them entirely until I am elderly.

I got the rabies vaccine in the beginning of sept and finished at the beginning of October . A few days before the last shot I got. I experienced sharp shooting pain in my hands/legs and my back hurt for a week.
And once the pain in my joints sorta calmed down I experienced tingling that would not go away, and I still have it. They are
Looking into it and I had an MRI and blood work.
Is there away to get rid of this or does it go away on it's on eventually?

Welcome Albertakewl.

Thanks. Is there anyone that can relate to this? Give me some
Hope?

I was just wondering if anyone that has this issue has fully recovered fully. Could they message me? I don't no how?

Hey Albert,

My issues have subsided for a while then I had a flare up in October. My issues are not constant and can fluctuate in region of my body and intensity and length of time.

Mine is also bilateral for the most part and I have had no weakness.

That's good. But did they ever find a cause or give u anything for this? Waiting on public health to finish investigating because I was a healthy 29 yr old female . Until this vaccine. And now I have the tingling, my back sorta hurts in the middle of my back in the spine ..And joint pain that comes and goes. And no weakness . I just finished an MRI for ms etc.. But I'm now waiting to seek answers on is there somthing or someone who can help me with this. And how long has it been since you had the vaccine?

I saw two doctors last year.. a neurologist and then an orthopedic specialist.

I stopped going to my neuro because her notes indicated it was all in my head. She also made a mention that an MRI to rule out MS would be a waste because I don't have MS and that her physical exam would show it. She then went on to say she never has missed a dx in her physical exam. So I was pretty much stonewalled. I didn't have the energy to bang my head on the wall at another neuro office since it takes a while to get in to a good specialist.

I had pretty bad lower back pain for about 6 months. I did go to an ortho and after 4 months of PT I had a lower back MRI. She said it look like arthritis. She actually stated it could have been related to the vaccine since it came on 24 hours post vax and it could have been an immune reaction. That has subsided! I also had some other joint issues in my wrists and ankles that subsided within a month.

Honestly the more I can stay away from the Dr. the better. Nothing like shelling out money and being told it's in your head.

I figured I had some over reaction of my immune system and any tests at this point would be more risk... Spinal tap... MRI w/ contrast. No thanks. I also feel that the medical community in general feels that this vaccine reactions are not real which only adds to my alienation from the system.

From what I have read unless I am having weakness and it's bilateral I am not going to go to the Dr. I am just treating this like peripheral neuropathy. It may get better or it may get worse, who knows. I don't want any drugs because the severity of the symptoms are mild and just annoying at this point.
