Flu shot abt 2wks ago. worried about gbs. extra attentiveness prompted discovery that calloused areas on feet have less feeling than arch. normal?

Just stop: You have too much time on your hands. Calloused areas may have less sensitivity. Come up with something more productive and stop trolling the internet looking for illness. I really mean that in the kindest way. Embrace your life!

Yes: It's normal for thick callus to decrease your sensation of the underlying skin. Gbs is extremely rare after influenza vacccine. Don't be neurotic worrying about something that's so unlikely to occur. Relax and have a glass of wine.
