Symptom narrative

About 3 days after being vaccinated. He started having numbness in both hands and both legs as they were numb. He thought the this would go away after a few days but they continued to be numb. He passed out when leaving the gym but then came to. The ambulance came to check vitals and he was let go because they were back to normal. He went to his doctor and was given a heart monitor to wear for 6 days. Results were negative. His hand and legs became heavier. He was referred to Dr. He was diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy. He was sent to a hematologist. He was put on B12 injections and supplements. He started getting some strength back where he can start doing things again. He still has the heaviness in the limbs and continues IVIG treatments every three weeks.
