I got my shot on this past Friday and woke up with both hands tingling. What should I do?  I also feel like someone punched my in my right arm (not the arm the I received the shot) ---- I am so scared. I sort of felt like this on Friday after the shot, but not as severe... I was telling myself that I phyched myself up due to all my internet browsing --- but now it can't be ignored.  I am in tears!!!!!  I don't want this to be GBS.

I'm sure you've had a reaction to the vaccines. Please join us on one of the other forum questions.
We couldn't tell you what effects Xanax would have as we are not doctors...you would need to ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Hi,
I got the H1N1 nasal spray vaccine and the regular flu shot at the same time.
After 6 hours my right feet my heal started to ache. It is a mild pain and goes away and comes back. No tingling, no numb. Pain does not move. Can it be realted to the two vaciines or not, It has been 13 hours now.
By the way I suffer from panic disorder and worry continuesly, in order to relax and slepp can I get Xanax , would it effect with the vaccine? I forgot to ask the doc.
Please help,
Thanks,

Hi everyone!, I received the h1n1 vaccine on Jan 7 around 1pm, after coming home 30 min later my right feet was numb I shook it off and it was gone but like 3 or 4 hrs later I felt palpitations on my left thigh (I got the shot on the left arm) so I thought ok I guess is normal I’m not feeling any kind of pain in my arm so I guess my thigh was doing all the work. On my 2nd day I woke up with a horrible pain on my right leg I got out of bed and it went away, I didn’t have any palpitation feeling on my thigh anymore,  but on the second day the tingling sensation had  started; feet, toes, lips mouth. So I decided to hit the internet yesterday and after reading some post here I realize I was not alone with this. Of course I was freaked out about GBS, and still am a bit, but I guess anxiety is playing a big part in this. I’m always worrying about stupid little things on my everyday life and off course is making it worst, so today was my 3rd day with the tingles on my feet. Toes and lips and again woke up with pain in my leg, tonight I had a muscle relaxer which my doc had prescribe me and I will give it a few days to c how I do, if not I will head to the doc’s office by the end of the week. So happy a lot of people here are doing better and I will keep posting on my progress with this and beautyaround me; I am now feeling the same way I should had follow my gut feeling and not take the vaccine, but I did it because I have asthma now I know I’m not even doing the seasonal shot anymore, I believe the h1n1 vaccine was rushed and was not tested properly before getting it out there, I wish you well and please keep updating on how u are doing.

I received h1n1 vaccine and had severe jabbing pain in my thighs day after, kept getting pain for couple of days that felt like sharp needles deep within muscles. I waited, and it got better after 5 days but then on 8th day after shot I started to get muscle spasms all over arms and legs. I was so scared, I was all over the internet researching, thought I had that GBS, freaked and called my doctor immediately. I was told that my  symptoms were not likely to be GBS because I had reflexes and had no problems with acitivity or weakness. He thought it could be possible that it was related to a reaction from shot, but really couldn't give a clear answer. I received a vit B12 shot and have been taking some at home. My symptoms are better after almost 3 weeks now, (I think... scared to say that because I know it could come back).
I am so glad I found this board, I have been sooo depressed and scared about this. It's a little reassuring to know that I am not the only one on one hand, but also scary to think how many side effects this vaccine has. I have always been an advocate of getting flu shots, and trying to boost my immune system to prevent disease, but now I feel that I made a terrible mistake with this vaccine. I would not reccomend it to anybody. I have become very paranoid and disturbed, and maybe it's my paranoia speaking but I believe that there are toxins in the vaccine. Maybe because of the timely demand for the flu, appropriate studies were not done accurately or possibly some of these companies were reporting semi-false info just to get vaccine out in hurry or for other motives..who knows.  What I do know is that nerves do take a long time to heal, so I hope that is why this is taking so long to go away...I hope. Good luck to everyone. I will keep you posted.
