Yeah same here. My neuro says my surgery could have triggered the condition. Also a bad reaction to Amoxicillin could be the cause as well. I'm going for more testing on tuesday and possibly seeing another neuro as well. Will keep you posted.

.........it could also be caused by an immunoreaction to the seasonal flu shot(Guillain Barre - CIDP).......did you get one last year? The timing coincides with when most people get the shot.

OK....good.....but your symptoms still sound like GB/CIDP could be a possibility, and I'm not kidding about early diagnosis being very very important. Be sure your Neuro Dr. is looking strongly at the possibility.

I am traveling early tomorrow to take care of my disabled 35 yr old daughter (CIDP), so I do not have the time tonight......but soon I will come back to share her story and the very real link between the flu shot and GB/CIDP.

please dont stay away from vaccination, because you believe they cause more harm then good. vaccines for flu, MEASLES, tdap vaccine helps prevent the spread of those diseases. As for your nerve injury, did they ever tell you why it happened?

I wouldn't put the flu shot in the same category as Measles. The literature on the flu data is not as sound as people think, especially for healthy populations. One place to look at a review of this data would be The Cochrane Review.

I have friend with GBS and his doc told him under no circumstances can he get a flu shot because it can trigger the disease again.

Thumbs up 60 days after trauma

My situation had an acute phase that involved muscle wasting and loss of balance. I do not write this to alarm you as all stories are different. My legs got weaker and after smacking the pavement about two or three times, I got me a walker. 2 yrs later I am practicing in the house walking freely. I feel that returning strength is dependent upon nerve healing rather than physical training as I have pushed it and and found that this problem has its own timetable,sllloooww. So study for Mitochondrial health and keep learning. I use a gyro bike daily to keep my knees unlocked, it really helps. I listen to classic rock and a minimum of three songs plus commercials. The only other thing that has helped (besides pain meds) is Mortons Epsom Salt Lotion for burning tender tops of feet. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.

I was just told I probably damaged my pereneal nerve, maybe slept on it wrong.

Yes I try to exercise as much as possible. I was actually very active in the gym, mostly weight training. But I haven't gone since last week because I felt like lifting weights just aggravated my symptoms. Now there's no way I can do squats when I am having to expend so much energy just to walk.
