Last year I took a shingles vaccine on the same day as one of the pneumonia vaccines. I felt awful for the next week. My neurologist told me afterwards to only do one vaccine at a time from now on.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member i added a third dose of Sinemet daily and off time decreased completely for 8 days. 2 days after the vacinations my left leg began dragging again and balance problems increased. Not sure if these are related or not.
