In summary, my shoulder and therefore my way of life are a very long way from how life was before the injection

In order to comply with my employers policy that employees who do not receive the flu vaccination will be required to wear a mask when within 6 ft of another individual, I took the flu shot on 10/7/14 at my workplace. Two days later I began feeling numbness near my left rib cage. This feeling was not present prior to 10/9/14. When it did not resolve after 1 week, I sought treatment from my healthcare provider on 10/17/14 and was prescribed a prednisone taper: 40 mg for 3 days, 30 mg for 3 days, 20 mg for 3 days and 10 mg without results. I returned to my provider on 10/29/14 and thoracic MRI was ordered then done on 11/11/14 without contrast which showed a demyelinating lesion at T 6-T 7. I was seen by a neurologist who ordered a repeat MRI of my thoracic spine to be done this time with contrast. MRI of brain and cervical spine both with and without contrast were ordered and done on 12/4/14 (brain) and 12/8/14 (thoracic and cervical). Another demyelinating lesion was seen at C2 level of spinal cord but no demyelinating lesions were seen in the brain. At this time I did not think it was significant. However, when my neurologist diagnosed me with demyelinating disease of central nervous system, I began researching possible causes other than multiple sclerosis, as I do not meet criteria for MS as evidenced by lack of brain lesions and a normal neurological exam. What I found from research is as follows: "In primary demyelinating disorders, cause is unknown, but an autoimmune mechanism is suspected because the disorder sometimes follows a viral infection or viral vaccination". "It's possible that activating the immune system could trigger an autoimmune reaction. This occurs only in a few individuals with hypersensitive immune systems. Some children and adults experience "acute demyelinating syndromes" after exposure to certain vaccines such as those for influenza or HPV". After reading the above, and with flu shots again being offered by my employer for this season, it prompted me to look back at when I had had the flu shot last yr when my symptoms appeared. (Hence the almost 1 yr delay in reporting this adverse reaction). The date was 10/7/14, 2 days before my symptoms appeared. I immediately notified my neurologist who advised me not to take the flu shot because he feels that the vaccination could absolutely have triggered an immune response in me that attacked my myelin. He said he's seen it happen before. He himself does not take a flu shot. My treatment is ongoing with repeat MRIs needed to follow for further demyelination and my symptoms (numbness at left rib cage and weakness/heaviness of right leg) are still present one yr later. If I can provide any additional information, please feel free to contact me or my neurologist. Thank you and please provide follow up with me regarding this matter.
