I need help getting to California to take care of my mom who recently was grocery shopping and decided to get a shingles vaccine because she was going to go visit my nieces and my Sister and thought it was a good idea. Shortly after that within a few days her arms and legs began burning and itching severely to the point of scratching herself raw. She went to the hospital a few days after that because she was experiencing numbness and tingling in her limbs. That led to her becoming completely paralyzed to where she can't walk or do anything now without assistance. She is going to have to do intensive physical therapy to regain basic motor skills. I need help with a plane ticket to go me help take care of her. She has asked me for my assistance and I have to be there for my mom. Please help me. I desperately need to be there for her. I have PayPal my email is ethancampbell639@gmail.com My cash app tag is $EDC639 ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! God Bless! Thanks again.

      GBS and related adverse reactions like MFS can occur after any surgery or injection, not just from shingles vaccines. It can also occur after eating undercooked meat or eggs. It's not actually about the vaccine at all, acquisition of these conditions from vaccination is an example of a Hospital-Acquired Infection. GBS spectrum conditions are caused by Campylobacter bacteria, with about 2/3 of cases being preceded by a confirmed Campylobacter infection.

      Paralysis is fairly common, but usually temporary. Definitely sucks and is uncommon enough to be medically interesting, but not necessarily interesting enough that docs would be fighting for publication. I think it would be inappropriate for me to speculate on the legitimacy of the story presented, so I won't do so. You are right that this story has many parallels to anti-vax mythology, but I don't think it's necessarily grounds for suspicion.

      Yes she has gone to UCLA because the treatments in Palmdale specifically for the Guillain Barré didn't help her at all I think what they said she has is more severe called CIDP or something like that. It is crazy to know my mom was a normal functioning perfectly healthy woman before she got the shingles vaccine and now she can't walk and can't even hold the phone when I talk to her. And is in severe pain. All the time... I can understand your skepticism, I'm not sure how rare or uncommon it is but the fact that it happens... At all is a really horrible thing that I didn't know was even possible, but it has happened to my mother and if you really think I'm making this very specific, very upsetting thing up for some kind of monetary gain is pretty insidious. I get being curious or even questioning the situation for clarity or to better understand the situation is one thing but to even suggest that I am somehow fabricating this very real, very hard to deal with, not to mention emotional situation that has happened to my mom speaks volumes about your skewed and very out of touch perception reality. Are you here to weed out fraudulent individuals or are you here because you intend to help me and want to ensure you're not funding a scam?? Or are you just someone that claims situations that are according to you 1 in 1 million or 3 million or whatever irrelevant odds you state, as if it means the occurance is less probable or likely an impossibility for the simple fact that you can't believe or arent willing to think that in fact these things do happen regardless of what you're narrow-mindedness deems to be credible or possible.. and if you aren't intending to help what is your purpose in coming here? To sow your seeds of doubt and call others to do the same for what purpose? If you never intended on providing any help to begin with then you're only here to be a denialist. Deluded and unwilling to perceive because it's too hard for you to accept as a reality. Your ignorance is not appreciated and your rigid close mindedness is noted. If you're not here to help, go troll someone on Facebook
