After going to the doctor and being told what I had, I thought back and realized that I might of had this disease for some time. The reason I am writing is this, prior to my diagnosis (April 1995) I had received two of three hepatitus b vaccine shots. After the first or second shot, I,m not sure I started to feel the symtoms which had finally forced me to seek medical attention. I just read a release form re: hepatitus b vaccine shot which indicates that a possible side effect of these shot could possibly be a nerological one. Question: Has any information or research been released that might link parkinsons and the hepatitus b vaccine shots. Please advise, thanks ================= Margaret Monty [log in to unmask] =================
