Re: Vaccine leads to MS...

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed in 1993 with type 1 diabetes and had to have a hepatitis B

shot before I could make use of my insulin needles. I then was diagnosed

with MS in 1999. I guess if they prove the hepatitis B shot caused my MS

maybe someday they can find a solution to the problem.

What bothers me about this study is that Hepatitis B vaccine was done in

the Middle East as a routine for a longer time than in the West and yet,

the MS numbers here are still virtually non-existent...so much so that the

drugs for MS treatment are almost impossible to get.

This is why I am unconvinced by the results of the study. I was also

vaccinated against Hep B (along with almost every other tropical disease

vaccination) but my MS symptoms started just before that.

I read all that info about hepatitis a few years ago and I think even if my hepetitis c shot did give me my MS I think it would be hard for me to prove it.

I just accept the fact I have MS and just learn to live with it.

I was diagnosed with ms in 1988. 5 years after that I went back to school to study Radiation Therapy and had to get the Hep B vaccine as a precaution.

So, my ms preceded the vaccine by over 5 years.
