It is true that what you are injected with is dead, so you can't get the flu from it, but you may be allergic to something else that was in it. That is why so many people are against getting the shots, and they are willing to take their chances and hope they don't get it. Sounds like you should have gone to he ER instead of taking care of it with a few sips of water. You were probably dehydrated and would have benefited from fluids given you in the hospital. It must have been scary for you, but if there is a next time, I would advise you to call your doctor or go to ER. You need to report this to your doctor, since he is probably not aware that this happened to you. Carpe diem, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know that you are extremely sensitive (probably do have mild allergic reactions), then you should take extra precautions about injections and medications. I have not read this whole thread about the flu injection, but I did post early on the Dr. Druker is all in favor of cml patients being injected with the inactive virus (the shot and not the mist)....but if you know you have lots of sensitivities, then you should probably have your own doctor make a decision and do the injection. Also, if they are taking separate parts from different vials, then the vials DO have a preservative in them. Often a company will make up single shots (which they did last season for the H1N1 vaccine) and it does not have a preservative. This is the shot I was given because I have a cancer, as determined by public health, who had the shots. If hundreds of thousand of people have the flu shot and maybe ???? 2% of something have a significant reaction, that can be expected......we are not all the same. Innoculating a population prevents an epidemic....otherwise the flu would be rampant in schools, etc. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 : What I meant by being sensitive was the fact that even things I have gotten from my doctors have SOMETIMES reacted differently than it would on most people. I have been doing my Flu shots every year, and this is the first time I ever got so sick. None of my doctors do the injections anymore. I cannot even get blood work drawn at the office like I used to. The doctors do not want all the extra work anymore, they just send you to the lab with a slip now. I also knew not to get a flu mist. They are not even suggesting or offering it when you go. I totally agree with getting the preventive measures so as not to start a epidemic. I just have to be more careful next year with my own treatment. Also, I will not need the Pneumonia Shot next year. Yes, everyone is different, therefore, know how you should approach your individual health care.
