Symptom narrative

I was doing my clinicals and i decied to take the shot. After i was feeling bad the following day and i told my husband i told him i was gonna test myself to see if i have Covid. I went to lay back down on the bed and when i turned away i don't know what happen , the next moment my husband was yelling my name. He asked what happened i said i don't know. I told him to call my sister and she came over, and she asked me what's wrong i said idk i fell. And i told her i told feel good. My husband was gonna call EMS but i told him to call my son first and pray. My husband tried to touch me i told him not to because he shocked me, but he turned me over and it felt like every time he touched me he was shocking me. I could feel paralysis in my feet as my husband was calling EMS and it was coming up my legs and when it got to my waist i knew that something was happening. When it go to the top of my waist i told my sister to call 911 and hang up with my son. They came and they said they were gonna take me in but every time they touched me it felt like they were shocking me. They took me in and they put the cover on me but everything felt like a shock. They were asking me some questions when i got there and EMS told them not to touch me because i was feeling like everything i was shocking me when it touch's me. They didn't know what is going on so they put me on the floor and forget to put a neck brace on me but they did put one on me in the waiting room. The ER doctor said they were trying to get Neuro on the line. The Neurologist was able to do a visit and he asked me what was shocking me and i told him everything. And i had my hands up and i told him my hands were being shocked. The next thing i know he went off visit and they came in and told me they had to move me. They called a van and moved me and they told them everything that was going on. The specialist came in and i told him what was going on. And i told them that it felt like my body is shocking itself. And they took me to surgery on my neck and they put in the chart to not touch me and i stayed there for a couple of days because i couldn't move, they then put me in rehab for 30 days. I had to do therapy for 3.5 years. I think figured out that i think i have Guillen Burrier Syndrome
