If you're going to get TM from a viru or immunization, the TM will occur within 10 (TEN) days. I had my summer flu the last week of July and within 7 days had TM symptoms. And just because you got TM from a flu shot doesn't mean you can't have flu shots in the future. There are lots of MD's out there who know almost nothing about TM. My first Neuro knew nothing- kept telling me I had MS, even after the MRI was diagnosed: "TM- no sign of MS" Hope that helps. F
