Vaccine: FLUX
Symptoms: Difficulty in walking, Hypokinesia, Muscular weakness, Pain in extremity, Paraesthesia
Clinical narrative: The patient states that, "I have experienced persistent bilateral foot problem of unclear etiology since Feb of 2000. I do not recall the exact date of my flu shot, but I believe that I received a flu vaccine, through my employee health office, about 1-3 weeks prior to the onset of my symptoms. I have attempted to obtain the exact date of inoculation through my employer. However, the employee health and medical records staff are unable to provide me with documentation re:date of my flu shot. I have seen many physicians/specialists and have undergone many diagnostic tests in the past 2 years. Many diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, several types of neuropathies, Lyme diseases, autoimmune diseases, etc.., have been ruled out through diagnostic tests, including foot/ankle/brain/spine MRIs, x-rays, and blood tests. I still do not have a clear diagnosis. Many physicians have suggested that my symptoms and subsequent physical limitations may be related to a virus, but it is only in the recent month that a "new" neurologist has recommended that I formally file a VAERS form. My symptoms are localized to the bottoms of both of my feet. Prior to pain management with medication, I experienced extremely severe hot knife-stabbing pain, which restricted my ability to tolerate standing (even for 5 mins) or walking. I also experienced paresthesias/numbness even when I was not weighbearing. I also lost motor function of 2 of my toes and developed ankle weakness. I have been severely limited in function since onset of these symptoms. I was essentially housebond the first 3 months of these symptoms. I was gradually able to tolerate more walking once I started taking neurontin and with the use of crutches (which allowed me to walk maybe 200 ft before my symptoms would increase). After about one year, I was finally able to walk very short distances (and not on a daily basis) with a cane. Presently, my walking and standing tolerance is still very limited as compared to my previously active lifestyle. Because of unclear etiology of my symptoms, I have essentially been "medically managed" with medication. Throughout the last 2 years, I have continued to make very slow progress in terms of increased walking/standing tolerance, and my physicians are unable to offer clear explanations for the onset of symptoms and my "natural" progress in the absence of a clear diagnosis and treatment plan. As mentioned above, some of these physician have suggested a "viral" cause. I have attempted to provide you with a brief description of my situation." per  doc #213154, 60 day follow-up, incomplete, but continuing recovery from foot pain, loss of left 4th and 5th toes, ankle weakness.
