Thank you for coming on here and posting this. It has to be an awful situation for your husband and you. I have a vaccine thread here on our Neuropathy forum, and I linked to this post there also. We have posters coming from all over with various nerve damage from vaccines now and then.

My symptoms started just after receiving allergy shots. Muscle twitching at sight of shot. Discontinued shots 6 months ago still have muscle twitching and progressive weakness.

I don't have ALS but two of my cousins, brother and sister-2 years apart in age, in their fifties caught this horrible disease. I truly believe they where contaminated many years ago. Their father was in the military (Army 30+years) who was stationed all over the world, in about every continent. There is strong evidence military service can and does pose a higher risk of contracting ALS and its not just the US military but modern militaries of many nations.

I'm suppose to get the pneumonia shot to test my immune system.
Then I thought a few months later, I would take the flu shot.

I no longer wish to take the flu shot and am unsure about the pneumonia shot.

Has anyone heard of ALS or other serious conditions being caused by the pneumonia shot?

How awful!!!!!

When two people in the same family develop ALS there is a strong possibility theirs is a familial (inherited) edition of ALS.

What was in the pnemonia shot? How do you feel?
