RE: [TMIC] Flu Shot
I too have never gotten the flu shot. I don't think I am going to start now. I know our immune system was compromised as they say at the time of the TM attack. but does that mean that our immune system will always be compromised that we cannot once again build up our immune system? I was also wondering about that shingles shot??? Anyone here thinking about getting it??? I have a friend who has been in terrible pain for over a year with shingles..

I haven't had the flu since TM that I can remember and I don't think I've had it all that often through the years even before. I've always been a little afraid of the flu shot since some on the list got TM after having it, but since so many people have had the flu shot with no problems, if I were at risk -- prone to flu or with respiratory problems - I'd get it, but otherwise I don't feel a need to.

I get a flu shot every year, as I have for decades. Alton
Re: [TMIC] Flu Shot
Hey Carol, I have been getting the flu shots for years. But I really made sure of getting the flu shot after I became HIV+ and Hep. B since Sept. 1989 and then on top of that with TM since April 2002. I have never had a problem with a flu shot.

Re: [TMIC] Flu Shot
I get one every year. I got TM after having the flu in 2000. I haven't had any problems with the shot.
