Symptom narrative

3 weeks after Flu vaccine I began having slurred speech. This progressed to difficulty with drinking, eating and swallowing abilities causing frequent choking and lip, tongue and cheek biting. By early April I began experiencing growing weakness of ankles and knees. This has progressed to generalized weakness, resulting in initial buckling of the knees, then frequent falls, due to worsening gait and imbalance. I can no longer manage stairs not steps. I cling to whatever is in available to move at home.
