Anon - The symptoms that most people are describing seem to be related to the intramuscular nature of the injection and involve some kind of tear or trauma involving the muscle, or an injection that wasn't properly administered.
I've followed all of our threads on this topic and none describe the symptoms of Gullain-Barre syndrome which usually affects both the arms and legs. The symptoms include weakness or paralysis of the arms and legs, which may progress to full quadriplegia, and respiratory difficulty. In severe cases, positive pressure ventilation may be required. Recovery usually starts within 2 – 4 weeks of the first symptoms, but many patients need months of rehabilitation. The primary treatment is good intensive care with respiratory support when needed. Immunotherapies including plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulin have shown positive results.
