Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I personally have not gotten a flu shot in id say 7 or so years. I have had RSD for past 5 yrs and dr always asks me to get one but i say no way i will take my chances. When i worked at an office i got one once and i was so sick for 2 WEEKS afterwards. and i saw friends of mine get the shot and end up also calling out of work. They stopped sponsoring them at our job. Theres alot of mixed things that get said about the shot like theres no way it can make u sick ect but ive seen it in friends family members and it may help some people but not for me. I hope you are feeling better hun and sorry to hear it has also had same effects on you!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 you and me both rachel, I havent gotten a flu shot, in like 20 years, I got so sick ended up getting the flu then turned in to bronchitis then ended up with broncial phneumonia-and in hospital for almost 2 weeks. My hubby doesnt have a choice to get one, gotta love active military, they own you, well they only owe him a few more years around 5, last year he got out of doing it just cant remeber how ause the year before ended up getting a real bad cold. Hope have a painfree day and if get the flu shot, hope dont get sick! Blessed Be Deb -- In Hugs-N-Pain , ** wrote: > > I personally have not gotten a flu shot in id say 7 or so years.
