Default Post Vaccine Neuropathy Rabies Vaccine

Two weeks ago, I completed a set of 4 shots rabies exposure (bat bite). After each shot, I noticed slight tingling in my hands and feet and stomach pains, but I had to continue the shots. After the 4th and final shot, my symptoms immediately worsened.

Now two weeks later, I have tingling and numbness throughout my body--even my lips. I feel achy and sore all over, my jaw hurts so much I can barely open my mouth, and my brain feels like I'm in a fog, half asleep. I'm a very healthy 39 year old, and I'm now worried that this vaccine has ruined my life. A few days ago, my symptoms stopped getting worse each day, now I'm just living with the same symptoms above with no improvement.

I went to a neurologist, who tested my reflexes and said they look good but that I clearly have lost some sensation in my hands and feet. He ordered a brain MRI for next week. He's not terribly concerned since I don't really have weakness. I'm extremely tired, but I don't feel like my muscles are week.

Has anyone experienced this? Will this ever go away? I'm so scared and miserable. My daughters also had the shots and they have been complaining of legs pains and headaches ever since. I'm even more worried that my kids will never be the same. At least they don't have the nerve problems that I'm having. I'd love to hear from anyone who has had a similar situation. THANKS!

I think you will have to go on PubMed and search for papers about reactions to rabies vaccine in humans.
We have a fast link at the top of the page in the upper right to PubMed.
I searched "rabies vaccine reactions humans" and got 172 papers
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?t...tions%20humans
I don't know if this link works, and if it doesn't you may have to repeat the search yourself. Sometimes website software does not work 2nd hand.

Also on Google.
At one time rabies vaccine was the toughest one to get and caused lots of side effects. I don't know if it has been improved at all, so I can't really advise you.

The current vaccine says it is dead virus...so it may be the adjuvants in it that are doing the damage. Adjuvants stimulate the immune and inflammatory response, and they can be hard on people.

Here is just one of many reputable sites on Google concerning rabies vaccine.

http://www.drugs.com/sfx/rabies-vacc...e-effects.html

Of course, the alternative is death. Hopefully, things will turn around for you.

Default Update

I'm sorry to hear that you've had similar reactions. The doctors all seem confused and surprised by my symptoms. I've been given no treatment. I had bloodwork done an MRI of my brain, but everything looks normal. It's now been 6 weeks since my final shot and my condition is pretty much the same, though I am feeling less fatigued than I was at the beginning.

My feet are swollen and painful, the veins even seem to be bulging. My left arm hurts and my fingers feel like I have arthritis. I also have tingling that comes and goes in my arms, legs, hands and feet--even in my face and tongue.

I keep hoping that this will all improve over time. It seems like a fairly common problem, but no one seems to know what to do.

Keep me updated on your condition.

I would start on all the supplements that are for nerves, like B12, Benfotiamine, Rlipoic, etc.

I've had this problem starting from sept 20 , 2014, i still have the problem.
Plus half numbness and twitxhing and jerking , wish started
I'm dec. and they think it might be a
Sensory neuropathy, I'm pretty depressed about this. It doesn't seem to be getting better. And I have more numnness on my left side. .
I'm waiting for a nerve conduction test to be done and to see a
Neurologist . I seen a internist already. But he wasn't much help. But he didn't say he thought it was a mild sensory neuropathy , that may get better or worse.

How are u feeling

Hello,
I am 26yo male in good physical condition.
This is my story in short: In December I traveled Thailand for a month, had to get a rabies shots (5) there (just a precaution). Nevertheless since then I am experiencing heavy hands (left more), tingling in limbs, lot of the nights I wake up with numb hand or the whole arm (left or right).
My neurologist said to take magnesium and sent me to EMG of my hands. EMG was ok, no neuropathy, nerves are fine.
These feelings are less common now but they emerge here and there. Sometimes I also feel tightness in the left side of my face and around the temple the skin seems a bit less sensitive.
I am feering things like MS...

Exclamation please tell me how you are now

My daughter has her last rabies shot scheduled for August 21 (day after tomorrow). She has the symptoms described in this thread. Can the posters please get back to me about how they have fared since posting. Thank you.
