On 20Oct2022 at around 9am, she went to get the booster. It was her 5th dose of the vaccine. She had previously gotten all the others with no problem. 24 hours later she started experiencing numbness and tingling in her upper and lower extremities, almost like an electric shock. Her left leg had restless leg syndrome as well. States that she tried to wait it out to see what happened and if it would get better, but it had not. Now, when she bends her feet, she was getting cramps in her feet, and it was hard to lift up her toes as soon as she bends her toes back down she gets a pain. States that she went to church and the grocery store today and noticed that her right leg seemed to take longer when she was walking. She came home and was laying on the couch when she noticed that her feet were feeling funny. She bent her foot and started to get pain in her toes. She tried to lift her foot and they were slow to lift up. States this had happened within the last hour; and she had an eerie feeling like weakness and numbness. Is anyone else experiencing this. Is this something that will let up, or will it get worse. If she goes to her doctor, he will ship her off to a neurologist. But if she knows that other people had experienced this then she will wait another week or so before she goes to the doctor. States that she was reading about the side effects of the vaccine and found that Guillain-Barre syndrome could be a possible side effect. States she will never get this vaccine again. States she just went to the doctor that same week prior to getting the 5th dose, and all her bloodwork was fine. Received a Flu shot on 8Oct2022 at 9:05am, from her primary care doctor, Dr. (Withheld).  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
