Clinical narrative: October 5, 2015 Vaccinations for flu and pneumonia at dr. office, both injections in left arm. October 6, 2015 Can not move left arm, very painful, can barely walk, left leg does not seem to work well, almost fell on way to bathroom. Felt as if I has no control of the movements of the left side of my body. No change for 7 days as I spent all the time in a recliner. October 14, 2015 Can now lift my left arm approximately 6 inches, left leg is beginning to work but does not synchronize with my right leg while trying to walk. Soles of feet have stinging sensations constantly and skin feels as if it is being poked with needles. My right side is starting to respond similarly to my left side. My arms feel as if they are asleep for a couple hours at a time. Sometimes hands and feet will tingle for an hour or so. I have no sensation in my fingertips, I can not feel things. My fingernails have broken to the quick and are not growing. October 30, 2015 I can lift my arms high enough to put on shirts, but is very painful. My left arm hurts constantly. Nov. 11, 2015 My legs seem to work together  a little better. There have been two instances when everything seemed to be working fairly well and without ant warning both legs just seemed almost paralyzed. One time I was at market and did not think I could get to my car in the parking lot. This frightened me so much that I now carry a folding cane at all times. Nov. 16, 2015 I had a dr. appointment today. The dr. had an intern student on staff that day. She was sent in to see me. I was in terrible condition and I told her about all of my symptoms. She talked with me for about 30 minutes. She recorded all of the information into the computer. The dr. entered the room and stated that this was going to be a short visit- Do you need any medication refills? He did not examine me, I question his examination report for that day. Nov. 22, 2015 I am now having bladder problems. I can not keep my urine stream going. It is difficult to start urinating, and then the flow stops, sometimes I start and stop urinating 9-10 times before I can empty my bladder. This occurs event if  my bladder seems very full. I have never had this problem previously and I have not had any medication changes. It is a struggle to ensure that I get my bladder empty. Today I went to the bathroom, when I pulled down my pants I was surprised to discover that I had soiled my pants. It was very runny, I had not passed gas, I did not know it had happened. Now I fear it will happen when  I am not home. Dec. 6, 2015 I think I have a bladder infection, but a trip to the dr. and a urine test does not indicate an infection. Even though I have had muscular pain for a few years, all of the new pains are completely different. I hope these new pains recede soon as I just seem to be getting weak and do not seem to be seeing any improvement. I have started physical therapy, trying to improve my legs. Jan. 6, 2016 I had an MRI today, to check for any physical reason that my bladder does not work correctly. Nothing was identified on the MRI.
