tetanus long term effects?

Message 6 of 10 Previous Next



I contracted tetanus about 5 years ago , I was too hardheaded to stay at the hospital after hours of blood tests and questions , but during all the blood samples they asked if I had a tet booster recently which I hadn't in about 15 years ,,,, needless to say I also refused being careflighted to a bigger hospital .

I went home saying that I'd either live or I wouldn't , by the next morning the only part of my body that felt semi normal was the shoulder area where the injected the tet shot , within 25-30 hours after the shot I was back to fully functional but with some side effects that still haunt me daily , any serious/hard use of muscles results in the localized sensation of electrical current passing thru the muscles that have been used/strained , other symptoms include joint pains and charlie horse type cramps in various limbs with no straining and I've lost quit a bit of grip strength , my tetanus wasnt diagnosed until I was showing signs of Improvement but I was told later that the stage I was in would have resulted in death after 2-3 more days without treatment .

Just wondering if anyone sale has the electrical tingle sensations
