Narcolepsy flu shot
Common Questions and Answers about Narcolepsy flu shot
narcolepsy
I contracted Bells Palsy just as the fever broke from a near fatal 3 week long West Nile Virus infection in the early summer of 2004. I lost considerable hair, which came back gray/white, now have arthritis in many areas, my nails and cuticles grow in strange patterns, and I seem to be prone to fungal infections other than athletes foot. My energy levels are nothing like before the infection and I have trouble maintaining a normal weight.
If any of you have Bells Palsy after a flu shot, or a virus, you should be evaluated. Flu shots and viruses have been known to cause what looks like Bells Palsy, but is actually a manifestation of cataplexy (random muscle weakness or paralysis which can be widespread or isolated) which happens in narcolepsy, which flu shots and viruses have been known to cause. Most recently, the H1N1 vaccine caused a swath of narcolepsy cases.
I got a flu shot in 2016 in the right arm. Had issues with it being red, hot and sore longer then my last ones. Two weeks later I am in the hospital with Bell's palsy. I think these two are or were linked to one another. Here I am months later with a red streak still at the injection site that from time to time feels as though something is crawling on my arm.
the shoulder pain was in the same arm of the injection site. His neurologist told us that he believed the flu shot had caused this condition because it developed so suddenly. He is taking Botox shots which has provided some relief but seems to get worse again the closer he gets to the time for another shot. In your opinion, could the flu shot have caused this, either from the injection itself of the way it was administered?
I am 26 wks pregnant and one of the guidelines in Ireland is that all pregnant women get the flu vaccine. My fear is that now the flu vaccine has a strain for the so called swine flu(which i have always had doubts about!) Especially now with all the questions around the disorder narcolepsy that has now affected a precentage of kids in ireland that had the vaccine back in 2009.
Anyhow could anyne give me some advice.
I got my flu shot while expecting my son, he was born Jan 30. I will be getting my flu shot in December as I'm due in march, just so my baby is protected from the flu virus. I know it's a good idea, my mother didn't get a flu shot when she was pregnant with me and now I'm always sick.
has anyone else got the flu shot this year ? I've already had it but now I've been reading up on some things saying it's not safe and can cause risk to my baby and I. I'm a little worried.
I have never had the flu nor received the flu shot. But at the beginning of 2nd trimester the dr strongly urge I get one b/c she sd she has 2 mothers and 2 babies die as a result of getting the flu/H1N1. I took the shot reluctantly and it didn't make me sick and I actually came in contact w/ a customer of mine who had the flu and I haven't been sick, thank God! I'll never get it again unless I'm ever pregnant again, I just took it this time as a preventive measure.
I did not want to get the flu shot. I never ever get the flu (knock on wood) and I'm scared that if I do, I will get sick. My Dr is addoment about getting it. I'm 10.5 weeks and was going to wait until I'm in my 2nd trimester. What are your thoughts??
t get the flu shot - even while pregnant because I have bad reactions and that usually coincides with me coming down with the worst flu whenever I have tried to get the flu shot (to the point of being hospitalized). That said, I get it if you are against getting the shot - but I would say it depends on how much you need the job. You say you really need the job - is not getting it worth the cost not having the job will be?
