If so, please list the type of vaccination, how long it took from the time of the immunization to the occurrence of MS symptoms, and what your doctors have said about this (possible alternative medical explanations to the MS).

Welcome GFNorway..

No vaccinations received here, in conjunction with MS DX.

I had all the usual vaccinations as a child so who knows what that did to me.

I started having mild MS symptoms in my 20's. I'm 52 now and have full blown MS.

I hear so many different theories about vaccinations and how they affect you. I won't have anymore.....especially the flu or shingles vaccine......but I don't know for sure if the ones I did have had anything to do with me getting MS.

edit to add: I did have Mono when I was 19 and then chicken pox when I was 25. That was horrible.

In 2006, I had a MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccination about two weeks before I had my first big sensory symptom. My hip went numb. About five months later I developed optic neuritis.

Until I got optic neuritis, I had no idea that it was MS. I'd been told the numb hip was a sprain by a PA, who told me to put heat on it...and she basically yelled at me when I told her that heat made it worse. (accused me of faking it)

After I got ON, a neuro told me that the numb hip was Meralgia Paresthetica...and about 3 or 4 months after that I was diagnosed with MS.

Erin54: I'm sorry to hear that. I developed transverse myelitis after MMR vaccination when I was 12. Not sure how similar transverse myelitis is to MS.

What did the doctors say about the vaccination? Do they think it could have caused your MS? Here is a court case about MS after MMR vaccination (the petitioner won) if you are interested: http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/sites/...OE74071310.pdf

I mentioned the MMR and the numb hip to the doctors that I saw back then. They ignored it.

I had chickenpox when I was a kid and would like to get the shingles vaccination, but I have heard that it can cause problems with MS. Anybody know?

I don't know but am also tempted to get the shingles vaccine. I bet our MS specialists will have an opinion.

I had the Shingles about 10 years ago, so I'm not considering it.
DD also had shingles. prior to being DX with MS. I have no idea
if the S vaccine carries a warning. I believe that the same herpes
virus that causes chick. pox and shingles, caused our (my DD's
and mine) MS!!!

Use Dr. Blaylock vaccine as a keyword. He has done alot of reading and research of the published articles on vaccine injury.

This is part one of four.... an interview with Dr. Mercola.
He explains in this 4 part video sequence the role of adjuvants and toxicity from vaccines.
Please look at all 4 videos. #2 has the most detail IMO.

This sequence is in regards to H1N1 vaccines specifically. We now know that this "epidemic" never arrived. And we have had one person from Canada who had nerve damage from H1N1 that was given to him twice by mistake. It depends on the person and their own immune structure as to whether they get a reaction or damage.
