Hi cwallen9, my peripheral neuropathy and more horrible things started after I got the flu vaccine on November 15, 2018. It went up my legs through my body into my face and I went to the ER November 22, 21018 where they said they couldn't find anything but nobody asked or mentioned the flu shot to me. My husband found it online 2 months later while we've been trying to figure out what happened to me. I reported the reaction to VAERS. It's a vaccine adverse reaction site through the CDC. If people don't report, they will never know.

That sounds like you had Guillain-Barré. It's actually believed to be an auto-immune reaction caused by the flu virus itself, not specifically the flu vaccine (there have been several studies on it, and the frequency of Guillain-Barré was no higher in those who received the flu shot than it is in people who just got sick from the flu).
