I am a physical therapist who is working with a child who was developing normally until she recieved her chicken pox vaccine. Since then she presents with a hemiparesis and abnormal extensor posturing in the leg. I hoped someone could share some info that they might have regarding this scenerio. Thanks

I had the vaccine back in May and have been very ill with neurological problems and other problems since then. I was in perfect health up until then. I will never get a live vaccine again. I have mentioned it to my doctors however, they give me a blank stare and won't commit to any knowledge of the varicella causing problems. I am going to look up the web site the other person mentions! Can you give more details as the the problem the vaccine has caused you??? Thank you.

No, but ...

I have a neurological disorder that they say is due, possibly to the varicella virus, so it wouldn't surprise me.
