When I was in hospital with Tm 6 years ago the first question everyone asked was whether I had a flu shot. They thought that that may have been the cause of my TM. I did not have the shot however. I was in rehab for at least 6 mos. and every nurse I met said they would never take the shot regardless of what the doctors say. So, I have never had the shot and would never take one. Just something to think about. Rosalie In a message dated 10/18/2011 6:09:54 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, molokai...@gmail.com writes:
the neuro's who diagnosed my TM thought it may have been caused by a bout of Shingles I had. Two years have passed and my wife is worrying I might get another bout of shingles that would result in more TM damage. Should I get a Shingles vaccine shot or is that risking another attack of TM? The shot is $235.00 and we have been saing for it but now I am wondering what the risk is. Please contribute your knowledge. Jim
