A member asked:

How much is known about the h1n1 vaccinat and autoimune disease- as my muscles started to spasm and go after the jab, and neurological symptoms start?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

H1N1 Vaccine: Read this article for some answers===>http://www.Bmj.Com/content/343/bmj.D5956?Ijkey=50461b12da91420e878413bd6b96d145254c56da&keytype2=tf_ipsecsha&linktype=abst&journalcode=bmj&resid=343/oct12_2/d5956. As you note, there is a slight increased risk for bell's palsy and parasthesias, but not for other neurological diseases such as ms. The fact you had some spasms in no way means you will develop it.
