Vaccine: TD
Symptoms: Discomfort, Hypoaesthesia, Mobility decreased, No reaction on previous exposure to drug, Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging brain
Clinical narrative: First was unable to lift arm in which vaccination was given for about 6 days.  Arm was extrememly sore and somewhat swollen.  On fourth day after vaccination, arm (left arm--the one the vaccination was given in) began to feel somewhat "numb".  Numb-type feeling also began in right arm and face over the next week or so.  Also began to get tingling in left fingers.  The numb-type feelings are not constant, but are persistent.  Feet and legs falling asleep much more often than normal.  Symptoms have continued to progress and numb-type feeling is now occuring in legs (especially below the knees).  One occurance of pins and needles in the soles of the feet occured simultaneously.  Lasted less than 1 minute, but was concerning.  Happened while up and walking, feet did not necessarily feel like they had been asleep.  Shock-like feeling into pinkie fingers when elbow brushes against something began mostly in right arm, but in left arm this has occured several times even when the elbow is straight and arm is lifted out to front of body--when lifting light weights, etc.  Having some discomfort in right ring finger.  Have seen regular doctor a couple times--recommended ibuprofen to help with swelling/inflammation. Was referred to neurologist and have had an MRI of the brain.  Dr. says that was normal.  Am in the process of having more testing done and am planning to request blood work from primary doctor's office as none has been done to this point. Only interim diagnosis is possible carpel tunnel in left arm--most likely after swelling from shot, but as I am having same symptoms in other arm, legs, etc. doesn't seem to be the problem--or at least not the only problem.  All began after Td booster vaccination.  Had not had symptoms like this previously.
