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.

I know what u mean. Because I have been givin no direction. I just wish I knew what next. But I have to wait to see. We don't pay for medical care here, which is kinda nice. And I've noticed with my joint pain it comes and goes, like this weekend I had it for a few days and now it's gone. But my back hurts all the time now. And my eyes hurt.... I hope it goes away.. So did you have to report it to the public health there?

The involvement of your eyes, joints and back you might want to look up Reactive Arthritis/Reiters Syndrome as well.

Yeah my back hurt for ~6 months... Worse in the first 4 months. I even switched to a standing desk because it hurt to sit.

I can make a VAERS Report but I am waiting until my syptoms stabilize, subside or I have a dx.

Hope you feel better soon.

I hope u get better..Did u end up getting reactive arthritis/reiters syndrome from this? And what is dx? I just look this 2 things up. But it doesn't make sense? Is there a relation with that vaccine?

dx is diagnosis.

Reactive Arthritis can be from a viral or bacterial infection.

Which a vaccine would simulate.

I was never officially diagnosed with anything.

Again not a Dr here but the main thing that sets reactive arthritis apart from others is the involvement with the eye.

Yes I get it now. And the dr suspected something like that. But couldn't do nothing as the drs have no knowledge in the vaccines. So I was told to go to public health.. So I wonder if there is medication that they give u if it is caused from the vaccine? But right now I take muscle relaxers and advil for it all. And I hope it calms down a bit. How long have you had this issue for now?

Since July 4, 2013.

However the tingling and prickly sensations went away for quite sometime and then came back.

My back is fine now.

Have u even thought of gbs? Gullein bare syndrome? Iam making a mention to public health over this. Because I want to be tested.

Like I mentioned before if you are having weakness that is something else and needs to be checked out.

iirc GBS presents itself as weakness and then rapidly causes paralysis and loss of motor function in hours.

If you are having burning and tingling I wouldn't worry about GBS.

LymeRx was a terrible failure because of the arthritis it caused in people with the certain marker listed in this article.

You could get tested for it..perhaps a Rheumatologist would be the best one to do it, or an Immunologist.

There is not a large pool of patients getting Rabies vaccine.

This is a page from Drugcite.com on the rabies vaccine:

It is really difficult to predict what will be your long term results.
Each person is different with the antigen markers that predispose to vaccine reactions.

And it is a terrible truth, that most doctors will not want to listen to patients with vaccine reactions.
