CDC Split Type:

Write-up: 5 days after 2nd covid vaccine, I started experiencing severe pain, with pins/needles sensation. Started in plantar aspect of both feet and traveled upwards to my hands, in a matter of hours. Extreme pain in lower back and extremities caused me to go to the ER. Following lumbar puncture and a series of diagnostic tests, I have started on IVIG for Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy. This is a subtype of Guillain Barre syndrome, believed to be precipitated by autoimmune response generated from the 2nd covid vaccine. I am now on day 4 of my hospitalization.
