UGGGGGGHHHHHHH!! Two hours, you poor girl! That is a long wait. Then to find out they don't have the shot. I would not have been too happy either.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Doesn't sound right to me. I'd call your doctor. Jay Pneumovax I got a pneumonia vaccine yesterday and my arm is just killing me. I don't just mean it sore, its extremely painful, goes all the way around my arm, way up into my shoulder and my back a little. Is this normal? I've had shots hurt before, but this is ridiculous. The initial poke didn't hurt at all strangely. Thanks again, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Actually, I just got the flu shot today and my arm and neck hurt too. I think different batches of vaccines just hurt more than others. Doug wrote: >I got a pneumonia vaccine yesterday and my arm is just killing me.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I got the flu shot today too, and it hurt. Not really the needle, but the stuff going in. It doesn't usually feel that way. But it is different every year, so I guess that's why. Re: Pneumovax Actually, I just got the flu shot today and my arm and neck hurt too.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Beth, you wrote: " This is also a good time to check whether your pneumonia shot is up to date. " The pneumonia vaccine will not help those in stages 2 to 4. That's what I read from Dr. Hamblin's blog............ " Patients with CLL respond very poorly to vaccination.................responses to polysaccharide vaccines have been virtually zero [34]. " Pneumovax is a polysaccharide vaccine. From the ACOR list's Professor's Posts, Dr. Hamblin has written: " ....because of the impaired immunity in CLL, patients make very poor responses to protein vaccines and none at all to polysaccharide vaccines like pneumovax. By chemically coupling a protein to the polysaccharide vaccine, the response is better, but although these vaccines have been developed for children, nobody has marketed them for CLL patients. " Ergo, wouldn't do a bit of good for most cllers. I'll pass on the pneumovax vaccine.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Some doctors recommend that CLL patients get the children's version of the vaccine. Thanks for clarifying the reason, Ellen. Pat Ellen wrote: /message/15944 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
