I recall there was a fairly heated post regarding the flu shot.  I have no opinion one way or the other as I never take the flu shot, personally. 

But this story is very scary to say the least:

So was it the flu shot or was it just a coincidence?  I did not see where anyone said her problem was directly related to the flu shot.  People are either going to get the flu shot or not.  One person getting sick 10 days after recieving a flu shot is not scientific evidence of anything.  This needs to be researched more.

I found this on wikipedia: (see last paragraph-may have been the shot, may not have been the shot)

The causes of dystonia are not yet known or understood; however, they are categorized as follows on a theoretical basis:

Primary dystonia is suspected to be caused by a pathology of the central nervous system, likely originating in those parts of the brain concerned with motor function, such as the basal ganglia, and the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) producing Purkinje neurons. The precise cause of primary dystonia is unknown. In many cases it may involve some genetic predisposition towards the disorder combined with environmental conditions.

Secondary dystonia refers to dystonia brought on by some identified cause, usually involving brain damage, or by some unidentified cause such as chemical imbalance. Some cases of (particularly focal) dystonia are brought on after trauma, are induced by certain drugs (tardive dystonia), or may be the result of diseases of the nervous system such as Wilson's disease.

Environmental and task-related factors are suspected to trigger the development of focal dystonias because they appear disproportionately in individuals who perform high precision hand movements such as musicians, engineers, architects and artists.

One case reported[2] involves a woman who developed dystonia 10 days after a regular flu shot. However, Dr. Leigh Vinocur from the University of Maryland Medical System stated on the October 16, 2009, airing of "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News that this case was psychogenic and neurologists were using it as an example of psychogenic dystonia.[3]

I need to know more.  I can't access the youtube at work.  Shot or nasal mist?  Live culture?  Seasonal or H1N1?  What type of medical conditions did the recipient have prior to the flu shot? 

Reactions to any vaccine, flu or otherwise, 10 days after the fact would almost certainly point to something going on that the flu shot did not directly effect.  But...I need to know more.
