She great and back to normal, thanks. It took her two months in the hospital, another month of out patient physical therapy and another 3 months to get her muscle strength back and for the nerve pain to finally go away. So it's a long process and she was young and active and bounced back quicker than many.

Great news! Thanks for sharing!

I work with some docs who do work in GBS... Like a lot of neurological conditions, it’s a very complex disease. Death or complete and total recovery can be in the cards, as well as just about any point in between.

So many scary stories like yours.

 

I'm no anti-vaxer since I got one willingly, Twinrix, for Hepatitis A. I got so damn tired for 10 days in a row. Then after a week of relapse another 2 full weeks. Written like that it doesn't sound so bad but while it was happening you have no way to know how long it will last - and I was 100% healthy before! One cold in 4 years. I read on forums of tons of people getting sick (as in sick AND tired) from it. I was supposed to get 3 shots, HELL NO. And I read about a lawsuit against them for that. And at the same time, my kids' school sent a flyer about kids getting Twinrix... mentioning in one seemingly unrelated paragraph that there is no proven link between Twinrix and chronic fatigue syndrome! WTH

 

I lost all my trust in the system that was fairly low already. Nobody listens, it's all "coincidences". A doctor did call me, but then I realized it would all go in a private file! No stats, no public data, nothing. All under the rug. Crazy. How you base your recommendations on data if the data is false? 

 

Jerome,

 

I'm sorry about your symptoms.  This should absolutely be public data. 

Vaccine adverse events can be directly reported by consumers to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System

https://vaers.hhs.gov/

 

Please report yours.

 

And while I'd be the last to say systems always work as they should, medical professionals and employees of a drug company are required by law to report potential side-effects of vaccines and drugs.   When I worked for a major drug company - on the R&D side - we had yearly training on this, basically, if it were a Pfizer product and you told me at a cocktail party that you thought you had an adverse reaction, I would have been required to document it and make it part of the database even though I'm not a medical professional or involved with that particular drug.
