At the next week, a biopsy was done and the results came back demyelination. Went to the doctor and he said it was from the vaccine. I had one seizure not long after the biopsy was done. I also went to the hospital to have another biopsy done because my doctor was telling me he thought I may have a tumor because the lesion would swell up and then go down. When I got to the hospital they said it could not be a tumor the way it was responding to steroids. I also had a PET scan done and that was fine. All of my 3 spinal tests have been negative for me, but that is what I am being treated for. I was never sick before this except sinus headaches etc. I have four healthy children and three healthy siblings.  60-day follow up on 01/28/04: "Pt has not recovered from adverse events.
