Woman Claims Flu Shot Gave Her Neurological Disorder [View All]

A 25-year-old woman is suffering from a neurological movement disorder, which she says is the result of a bad reaction to a flu shot, MyFoxDC reported.

Desiree Jennings developed severe side effects from the flu shot she received seven weeks ago, according to the Loudon Times-Mirror.

Before she received the shot, Jennings said she was very healthy and training for a half-marathon. Jennings also was an ambassador for the Washington Redskins, a training program to become a cheerleader.

Jennings’ physical therapist, who works at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland, said the woman has dystonia, a disorder where muscle contractions cause involuntary body jerks and repetitive movements.

"You realize your life is never going to come back the way it was," Jennings told the Times-Mirror. "My goal in life was to one day be a CEO. Now, I don’t know if I can ever return back to work."
