Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 , I'm 77 years old, been getting the flu shot every year for many years with no problem. Pay attention to the possible allergic reactions though. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 , welcome, I've had an annual flu shot for many years, no side effects, no flu, no worsening of my CMT that I can attribute to the shot. My neuro recommends it, because CMT is bad enough without flu on top of it. But check with your own doctor. Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hello Bob, Gretchen, and Ruth! Thank you for your feedback! I understand that a flu shot seems to have no side effects to you. So I just have to decide wether I may need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 It is a hit or miss. I asked if I could get the mercury free shot, I didnt say thimersol. I intend to ask at the doctors.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Here's a little horror story for you...I took my 6 mos. in for his check up and although I do vaccinate, I spread out the vaccines and keep track of when he's getting what. So, at this particular visit, my schedule and the schedule I'd discussed with my ped. said he was not getting any vaccines, even though the standard schedule says he should. Now, my baby is a big baby and many times people think he is older than he is. But we walked in to the room and the nurse had not only laid out a series of vaccines, but they were the NINE month old vaccines. So I have adopted the theory that going to the doctor is like going to a PPT. If I am not paying attention, no one is. Secondly, re: flu vaccine - ALWAYS check the bottle or the box or both. I ask my ped. to bring them both in and I know the kind that does not have thimerisol. Again, grain of salt because who do you trust. I will not be giving the baby flu shot this year. What are thoughts on the nasal spray? On Oct 11, 2007, at 9:56 AM, Marie Brewer wrote: > It is a hit or miss. I asked if I could get the mercury free shot, > I didnt say thimersol.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Wow that is crazy. Good thing you picked up on it. What kind does not have thimersol in it. I was told last year its thimersol free in the vaccines for 3 and under but Matt is 4 now and they told me they are preservative free, so either they changed it this year or someone is full of it.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I would like to ask my Dr for a vaccine that is not only free of Thimerosol, but also Ether, chicken Embryo, FROMELDAHYDE and detergent...because ALL flu shots still contain these ingredients. ~Nahla > > From what I was informed of you can still get the flu when you get a flu shot its just mild if you do.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I found an article on web md. The portion that relates to what I just posted is below and I gave the link to the whole article. >>>Sadly, in the United States we pump over 40 tons of mercury into the air each year, mostly from the emissions of coal-burning power plants. Because of this, trace amounts of mercury are in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, and in most of the food we eat. It pollutes our lakes and streams. An American can't go through a single day mercury free. But we can avoid adding unnecessary mercury to our bodies.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Yes, and when we CAN avoid it, we should - as with all the added garbage in our food. I'm sure you don't eat twinkies for breakfast. It is an INFORMED decision we must make. When we can't avoid it, fine, but when we can, we have the responsibility to for us and our children's sakes. If their systems are already overloaded with toxins, why choose to inject more directly into their bloodstream? Marie Brewer wrote: > > I found an article on web md.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 WOw, that is crazy. We never had a problem with flu shots here, I know my mom gets a cold when she gets one . I thought the shots were made from inactivated flu and you couldnt get flu from the vaccine. My children never had a problem, they go every year. I think I started my oldest at 2 and my youngest at 1 (my youngest is my son that is on the sprectrum). They are the mercury free shots for 3 and under at our pedi. However, this year they told me preservative free because I called and asked a bunch of questions, not sure if they just wanted off the phone but I do intend to check it out. My typical son will definately get the vaccine. My youngest I want to get it, he puts everything in his mouth and isnt going to be washing his hands so that is my concern. I never got the flu shot I worked in hospital , never got it as far as I know. I hardly ever get sick, knock on wood Marie [ ] Re: flu shot > From what I was informed of you can still get the flu when you get a flu shot its just mild if you do. THat is what I was told.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Marie, I think people on this list are just trying to save you some of the grief they've gone through by making sure you have accurate information. Nearly everyone on this list is here because they did not know there was mercury and other toxins in the vaccines they allowed their doctors (who told them vaccines were safe) to inject into their babies/children/themselves. Many here were horrified when they found out and blame themselves not only for allowing but for participating by holding the child down for the vaccines. They can't go back in their own lives and un-do but if they can warn others to educate themselves they will do so. S S > Well I personally found it offensive that people are jumping on me for my choice to vaccinate my sons. I know a lot of moms get flu shots and there children are on the spectrum. I dont want to risk him getting the flu so I " m taking precautions. If you dont want to get your child the flu vaccine that is your choice if I do its mine. Right? At least thats how I feel. I should be able to say I talked to my sons doctor and he said x y z without getting attacked for it. As for doing what the CDC says, you can do whatever you want. I prefer to get him the flu shot if I read its mercury free on the bottle and box then that good enough for me. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Thank you . It expresses my sentiment exactly. If we had only known....what we know now. We can't change what happened to us and our children but want to make sure others are fully informed before they chose to vaccinate their child. I know that if I knew all of the ingredients and their effects on children, I would have made a different decision. The important point being that I made the decision fully informed of the potential consequences. Most of us just did what the doctors ordered without question assuming that they would never knowingly or even unknowingly harm our children. Personally, I would gladly love to get the flu EVERY flu season and even have my kids get the flu instead of the last 13 years of almost endless heartbreak and struggle.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Marie I know that the excessive mercury caused by excessive shots( given at birth and when sick) in addition to excessive antibiotics administered caused delays in speech, poor motor coordination, lack of social skills and learning problems that my daughter will have to cope with the rest of her life. I signed for the shots each and every time. I know what it feels like to blame yourself for something so preventable. Maybe some people cannot handle that feeling and therefore the shots can never be blamed because that would implicitly blame the mother. Something to consider. This is almost too cruel but the little 9 year old that we carpool with to the private school that supposedly accomodates kiddos with learning differences and social deficits, torments my 13 year old daughter in the car. She enjoys upsetting her just for the hell of it. My 13 year old can't handle a 9 year old. The little girl's mother works for Merck. Merck was the maker of most of the mercury containing shots that my daughter received. And here we are today still dealing with Merk.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yep, we just got over the flu here, my 7 year old grandson gave it to me! Much harder on me than him but Gee we were only sick for 7 days and every one of those seven days I would just thank God that we had what I considered the lesser of two evils. We survived and I didn't have to blame myself or wait to see what three weeks down the road the shot would do to him " again. " My ribs still hurt from all of the coughing but I will never get the flu shot for any of my family ever again. When I got the flu shot for my then 5 year old grandson in 2005, hundreds of people told me not to do it and I didn't listen..I thought the Dr. knew best and believing we had the " preservative free " vaccine and they even special ordered it for me! I though he is five and there is no way he can regress at this age.WRONG! I don't say I take every piece of advice I get from groups, I do weigh and measure ideas and then do my own research, but this is one piece of advice I sorely regret not listening to. I even helped hold him down.I will never forget it. The preservative free vaccine caused serious regression within 3 weeks of it being given and nothing else had changed with him other than the flu vaccine. If a child is on the spectrum I think it is like Russian Roulette in whether or not it a vaccine will cause a problem. I am no longer a gambler.

Re: [ ] Re: flu shot Marie I know that the excessive mercury caused by excessive shots( given at birth and when sick) in addition to excessive antibiotics administered caused delays in speech, poor motor coordination, lack of social skills and learning problems that my daughter will have to cope with the rest of her life. I signed for the shots each and every time. I know what it feels like to blame yourself for something so preventable. Maybe some people cannot handle that feeling and therefore the shots can never be blamed because that would implicitly blame the mother. Something to consider. This is almost too cruel but the little 9 year old that we carpool with to the private school that supposedly accomodates kiddos with learning differences and social deficits, torments my 13 year old daughter in the car. She enjoys upsetting her just for the hell of it. My 13 year old can't handle a 9 year old. The little girl's mother works for Merck. Merck was the maker of most of the mercury containing shots that my daughter received. And here we are today still dealing with Merk.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 From what I heard DPT is a horrible vaccine and most pediatrians give the DPaT.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 It's mercury, Marie. Maybe the mom had lots of fillings in her mouths (another major source of mercury) or she got flu shots while she was pregnant (the baby gets 2/3 of that mercury--a huge amount for a tiny infant) or Rh shots. Maybe she ate tuna three times a week or lives near a coal-fired power plant. Either way, it's mercury, mercury, mercury. Couple that with the multiple viruses in these shots given all together and you have a mess!
