Kathy, you probably got a tetanus booster after your dog bite. If you only received on shot it sure wasn't a rabies treatment, thank heavens!

I was bitten by a dog when I was about 8. They didn't know whether the dog had rabies, so they started me on the rabies shots (or so my mother told me) she had to drag me kicking and screaming to go get the shot, I don't remember. I think it was probably so painful that I blocked this out of my mind.

I only had three before they found out the dog wasn't rabid, so I didn't have to have any more. I do remember the whole bite incident, the ride to the hospital, etc.

I don't know if there is a connection, like you I believe there are many reasons, but maybe the shots added to my MS.
