Hi Jeff and All,
This is everything I can remember:
I received a flu shot either Oct or Nov, 2004, and I had a Mantuoux (TB)
test in Feb 2005. I believe the TB test is given with a live virus, but not
positive. I work in a hospital which is why I received the TB test, it's
mandatory. Sometime between March and June I remember telling my co-worker
that I needed a new chair, because my butt was going numb and we laughed
about it. I remember commenting on it more than once, but always brushed it
off to needing to lose weight. I had a cold mid April 2005, missed 1/2 day
of work and layed around on the weeked. One afternoon Mid June I layed down
for a nap and 45 minutes later when I got up my right leg was tingling as if
it were asleep from my knee down to my toes. Within 30 minutes the tingling
moved up my leg to my thigh. My duaghter, a nurse, and I both thought I
probably had a pinched nerve from beding over the bath tub to bathe my
granddaughter. The next morning I woke up and had no use of my right leg.
I only knew it was there because of the pins and needles feeling in it.
Recap:
Flu shot - fall 2004
TB test - Feb 2005
cold - April 2005
TM - June 2005
