"At 26 years old, Desiree Jennings was the picture of health. She's a Washington Redskins cheerleader and an avid runner. Her life changed forever on August 23 when she says she got a seasonal flu shot at a local grocery store.

"I was training for a half marathon then," said Jennings, crying. "It just all went so fast."

Ten days after receiving the shot, she came down with the flu. After that, her health spiraled downwards. She started passing out and had to be hospitalized twice.

"We went to an urgent care place and they wouldn't even let her get out of my truck because she was seizing in the back so bad, so they called an ambulance immediately," says her husband, Brendan Jennings.

Doctors at Fairfax Inova and Johns Hopkins diagnosed her with a rare neurological disorder called dystonia. They think it was caused by a severe reaction to the flu shot."

I'm amazed that the Dr's are actually admitting it's a vaccine reaction.

Does anyone actually have the first clue on what is happening to cause the neurological reactions?  Or do they just continue to say, well it's rare...I want answers.

You can tell how healthy a man is by what he takes two at a time _ stairs or pills.

I wonder how many children are afflicted with this "rare" disorder and are diagnosed with autism.

I wonder that as well with concerns to autism and vaccinations. I was digging up info on dystonia....and found this....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystonia#cite_note-2\

I thought it was kind of funny Wikipedia would specifically post this in their definition concerning dystonia when the flu shot is such a controversy now. hmmmm

So when I clicked on the footnote next to the psychogenic comment...I watched this

Amazing....not only does this poor gal have to live with a debilitating disorder.....now she has to live with the medical/pharma saying it's all in her head. BS to that.

My family stands stong....NO FLU VACCINES EVER for us!!!

I wonder if that is the work of one of the CDC's "mythbusters". http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/1009/p02s19-usgn.html
