Your last lines are the best recipe I have ever read! Everything you have written coincides with my personal experience - I feel fine now and I had the shot on November the 9th, so it took me almost two months to recover. In any case this is the old forum: discussions go on in the second chapter, look out for it! It's a very big group! Bye.

I'm 49 and I too started developing tingling in my right leg and then my left hand 3 days after the H1N1 shot.  It's been 12 days now and when I called my doctor he said the same thing that I've read here that GB devlops rapidly without prolonged tingling, and  he had a patient with it in 1976 that was in a wheel chair two days after the symptoms started, so to relax, if it's been going on a few days and I can walk even if there's some pain, I don't have GB.  I notice a little stiffness in my leg when I climb stairs. My doctor is also a close personal friend and he said he's  had about a dozen people with tingling and muscle twitches from the H1N1 shot and some have gone on for  several weeks, but most resolve themself in three months or sooner.  I know anxiety can be a factor, because after driving in a snowstorm yesterday my ankle ached like I had arthritis and my calf started twitching and my right arm tingled and when I laid down I couldn't sleep.  I'm just going to wait it out find a good book and sit by the fireplace and try not to let anxiety take over.

Hi! Glad to hear your neuro checks are all right. Did you notice we're not posting on this question anymore....we've actually had to go to a Chapter 2 and looks like we're headed, unfortunately, for a Chapter 3!!!

So go to Tingling after Swine Flu Vaccine Chapter 2 to read about the continuation of our stories and recoveries. Thanks!

Well after a spinal tap (thankfully negative) and lots of neuro checks it is still not determined what my diagnosis is..My neurologist said I do have peripheral neuropathy and so the next step is to do an EMG.  The tingling in my feet persists and I am just so upset I even got this  vaccine. Hoping everything will be ok!

It is so great to find this forum....I have been feeling most of the symptons mentioned here, it has been 26 days since my first symptons appeared, and like everyone I have been visiting the neurologist, cardiologist, done all the test and I everything (thanks God) is ok.  I was so happy to find you guys, I have been through hell with all the symptons, tingling on my back, some fatigue, anxiety, cold hand/feet, sweeting, I am taking tranquilizer and that is helping me, there are days and times where the symptons dissapear and then out of nowhere they como back, I am so frustrated but I keep saying I will get throught, and now that I found you guys, it is so great to know you are not alone and we are not crazy...I get my anxiety after so many days not getting better, I don't just think is in my head, before the vaccine I have perfectly normal, doing lots of sport, and now I don't want to move to far from my house, I just want us to unite and pray for the full recovery of all of us......
