chicken pox vaccine / facial tic connection?

I have been blessed with four physically and emotionally healthy children. We routinely immunized our first two children with no issues.  I learned more about side effects before the birth of our third child however, and decided to immunize at a slower pace with her.  At four she was given the varicella vaccine along with 3 others during a routine well check to begin preschool.  Three weeks later she startled us with her sudden onset of an eye blinking tic.  She seemed to have no control over it.  When I shared my concern with the possible connection to the immunization I was told there was NO connection.  It has been a year now and she still has the issue although not as severely.  I figured I was wrong in my thinking that there may be a connection to the vaccines.... So we took our completly healthy three year old son in to give him two very tardy vaccinations.  I now felt ready to move forward on his now that he was older and we would be traveling out of the country with him next year.  He recieved the Varicella and Hep A.  I kid you not... three days later he developed a terrible eye tic and nose sniffle.  I am sick about it,  my pediatrician is perplexed &  his Sunday school teacher is concerned.  
Is there any remedy?  Is this temporary?  Were their healthy little nervous systems damaged forever?  These are not nervous, anxious children.  No anxiety has been present along with their tic's and there intellect is as amazing to me as ever.   My husband and I are truly perplexed and just want to educate ourselves on what to expect and what to just let go of.
Thanks so much for your time :)

Hi - did you ever get a reply??? Our 4 year old just had a bunch of immunizations and the constant blinking began immediately. What have you learned? Please reply

My 2 year old daughter just got the new MMRV vaccine and within a couple of hours started with and excessive eye blink. It has been 6 days and she is still doing it.  Have you been able to find anything more about the link to the blink and vaccine?

my son just got the varicella vaccine and one day later he started with a constant eye blinking and can't stop.  He is even complaining about it and said he can't stop it and can't sleep well because he wakes up and starts blinking.  I'm sick about it and I KNOW it was due to this vaccine.  Any answers out there???

Whilst I agree with children getting the vaccinations I dont agree with the way the give them altogether and I have heard stories like this about side effects ..I get sick of the Doctors  saying its all normal.. it isnt...

My 4 year old son has also developed some tics (blinking, nose and mouth twitching etc) a few weeks after his 4 year shots.  Any pointers or experiences to share from others ?  Does this typically go away or get worse over time ?

How is your son doing today? I do experience the same thing with my 5 y.o. daughter. In fact, she also has some of the verbal tics as well.  Do you have any advice for me?  I would appreciate any information.
