My 11-year old son has been diagnosed with Dystonia. His symptoms became apparent to me only a few months ago but he claims his symptoms have existed since 2nd grade (age 7), so I'm wondering if I should go back to see what vaccinations he receive...
I know some people think that the fact Ms Jennings can walk backwards and even run but not move forwards freely is strange. But I have found these links. As you will see it isn't that uncommon:

Hi Beka,
I am still in limbo. I have asked to see a neuro-psychiatrist with the hope that she will at least be able to give an opinion. I had a relapse a few weeks ago and haven't fully recovered from it yet. The last month hasn't been easy eithe...
Thanks paul for your clarifications... I don't really understand DMRFs view though when celebs are lining up behind Ms. Jennings now.

Hi Lynann,
Do you have other symptoms too. such as cognitive problems and fatigue? Has fibromyalgia or CFS been ruled out? Both of these can be triggered by vaccinations.

Of course it might not have been the flu jab that has caused Ms Jennings problems. There may have been other factors such as picking up another virus alongside having the vaccination. But the idea that her problems are psychogenic is, to me, nonse...

Hi lene, I still can't make up my mind about having a flu shot. I'm really nervous about getting it as I don't want to chance my Dystonia getting worse. I'm already using a walker because of my many falls earlier this year. My MRI was ok accorrdin...
Hi Lynn,

Hello. A seasonal flu shot changed my life. One week to the day of the flu shot I woke up and couldn't walk or use my arms. My whole body was in pain. Like inflammed with arthritis. My feet were on fire. My ankles were swollen. I went to the docto...
