Guest guest Posted November 3, 2001 Report Share Posted November 3, 2001 Hi Glenda, Sounds like you had quite a time with the doctor. Hope the new meds will help lower your bp. I don't get a flu shot. I wish I could because I think they do help, but I get severe reactions from them, plus, I always seem to flare up afterwards quite bad. Others I know won't take the shot because they have Lupus and it isn't recommended for them by their doctors. I am sure there is alot of controversary about this. My husband has MS and he gets the shot every year and doesn't have any problems. There for a while at the MS group several talked about how the flu shot can cause a flare up for them, but I don't think it has been proven to do that. Good to chat with you for a little while last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
