Hi to all
I am not a dr or a nurse. I am only operating on some common sense. 1. Vaccines are very useful in certain situations 2. Shingles are painful 3. Vaccines stimulate the immune system 4. TM is a result of many things, including the immune system going into overdrive and attacking the spinal cord (autoimmune disease) 5. Why would I want to do anything that would tempt fate and kick that immune system into overdrive and risk another attack, or another flare up 6. Homeopathic remedies work wonders on shingles (rhus tox) For those of you who remember my son and his "issue" - he is still in so much pain that most days he misses school, lays in bed, and generally is not having a good time of it. The diagnosis of "it is organic and he will possibly grow out of it" is not happening, and now, since he has not gone to a pain clinic, he cannot have any pain killers. Damn doctors. Damn system. Damn. Sorry, just had to let that out.

Wished I had asked the neurologist when I went to Mayo Clinic in Sept. I made a list of things to ask, but I just didn't think of very thing.

I really don't think she takes into consideration the affects that it might have on patients with TM. I will call my neurologist to get her recommendation and then make up my mind.
