Hi everyone, first time posting here. I received the rabies vaccines well over a year ago, in March 2019. Soon after the side effects started. I have had 3 EMGs, a brain MRI without ink, and various blood tests done. All symptoms have come and gone, except for left leg weakness which has been persistent. Also an EMG/NCT showed slowed nerve conduction at left peroneal nerve in July, though it climbed back to normal levels by September, when I repeated the NCT.
The MRI came back clear, and the blood test only showed a very low level of vitamin D.

In September I let go of testing and stopped with doctor visits, assuming that the remaining symptoms will resolve with time.

But now, since a few weeks I feel like the muscles in my left leg are getting weaker and weaker. Also my left knee is making this popping sound when stretching. I have some mild twitching that comes and goes as well, and I have gotten used to it by now.

I was quite hopeful until now that these symptoms would go away, but I am starting to get really worried again, as it seems like it could be an early sign of MS. I read that it can take years for MS to develop into a state that can be diagnosed.

I am very tired of dealing with this, and really do not want to start again with hospital visits as it is so draining, and most of the doctors brush it off as nothing.

Did anyone experience muscle wasting/ weakness as well? If so, can you please let me know what your experience was and if it went away?

Thank you.

Hi Neuro Member.....Sorry to hear you have also had issues with the rabies vaccine. Since no one has responded to your post, thought I would do so. I am only 7 months post last vaccine shot. One of my many side effects has been muscle aches both legs from buttocks to ankles since the initial shots began. At times my legs feel very weak. What I have learned from this site, is that everyone has a different timeline for symptoms to completely resolve. While I have improved with some symptoms, the muscle aches continue. There is one person under the name 'Batbite24' that documented her vaccine issues on this site, from her exposure in late 2016. Her first post goes back to early 2017 and she has many updates in this site. She posted having issues similar to yours, leg weakness and paralysis. Her most recent posts indicate a full recovery. So I would recommend you at least view her posts to get an idea of her timeline for recovery. I know that my muscle issues are directly related to the vaccine and may take many more months to resolve fully. I hope this info will help you and pray you and everyone else in the throws of an adverse vaccine reaction have complete and full recovery.

Thank you Pryjmak for responding. I have read all of BatBites posts and it is comforting to read that someone else has gone through this as well and has recovered well. I hope your symptoms will resolve soon as well.

I got in touch with my neurophysiologist and he recommended to repeat the EMG and Nerve Conduction Test, to compare the results with last year´s results.

I am starting to get really worried again to the point that I cannot focus on work, and am fearing ALS/ MS. The eye floaters since a year, this atrophying feeling in my left thigh, the random muscle jerks in both legs and arms.... and doctors that can´t seem to make a diagnosis based on these symptoms. I am scared that this will progress to something more debilitating, and that I need to take action but I don´t know what.

I have started working out daily to prevent the muscles weakening further.
Did anyone consider removing amalgam fillings? My teeth have been quite painful these last few weeks as well, and am thinking that it could be related to these fillings and the mercury it contains. Does not really help with these toxic neurological symptoms.

Since my vaccine I have had problems opening my left eye in the morning Im 1 year 2 months in since my vaccine and I've had all the other symptoms. I have good days and bad days.

Oh that is terrible. I do no vaccines unless life or death possible issue. A good friend is going thru 3 weeks now of side effects from shingles vaccine. Best wishes to you.
