Friend Who was left Paralyzed after Tetanus Shot

Attn: Kadma,

My friend is up and walking, able to climb stairs and feeling much better. After taking the remedies you suggested she was up and moving with very little assistance in the next day or so. However, she still cannont drive a car, still has alot of numbness and pain in her feet, having burning sensation on scalp and arms. She would like to continue with homeopathy. She is taking no western drugs, just getting bodywork now and then and trying to deal with some emotional issues (some childhood trama) that she feels is pressing in her heart to release but is finding it very hard to do.

I had her answer some questions I received from this site if that can help out with the diagnosis. Main issue at moment though is numb/painful feet, burning on scalp and arms and feeling a pain in sacrum/tailbone when she moves her head.

22. Please do elaborate / detail the present complaint with which you are suffering from. Like when it started, how it has progressed and when the complaint is more and how do you feel better etc.

In July 2009 I suffered a miscarriage. It was my first pregnancy. Shortly afterwards (probably late August/early September) both of my feet went numb. They were extremely painful. The best way I could describe them was that they felt frostbitten. My body also did not feel right. Every joint and muscle in my body ached. I just wasn't myself. Although I have MS, I have been in remission for almost 10 years and I did not feel these were MS symtoms. On October 29 I fell while hiking. My hand slid down a tree and I sliced it open requiring 6 stitches. While in the emergency room I was 'badgered' to receive a tetnus shot. Since I have been completely drug free for almost ten years I DID NOT want to get the shot. But the pressure was very great and I got the shot. Later I found out it also contained dyptheria. Three days later I sat on my couch, pulled my knees up to my chest and got a 'zapping' sensation from the bottom of my feet all the way to my chest. It felt as though I got electrocuted. By the next day I was numb from the chest down. A neurologist ordered 4 MRI's to be performed all at the same time so I was in the machine for over two and one half hours without being able to move. The MRI showed 6 old lesions on my brain and a new lesion on my neck. Within days after the MRI's I was completely numb/paralyzed from the neck down. I couldn't move/feel anything. My hands were completely 'locked.' If anyone so much as touched the bed I was lying on I would get zapped. At times I felt like someone wrapped a rope around my chest and was pulling as tight as they could. I had difficulty breathing. Against doctors orders, I refused steroids and all other medications. I am doing much better now but still struggling with some symptoms. My scalp burns. My arms burn. My feet and hands are still numb, stiff and painful. They are also always cold. I'm very tired/fatigued and emotional. These symptoms never go away. They only get worse if I 'overdo' things and get tired. If I move my head a certain way I get zapping sensations in my pelvic region and/or my spine and inner legs. It seems this happens when I put my chin down toward my chest.
