Hi!
I was hit with TM May 01 (T5) and then another cervical attack that August.
I recovered pretty well and later was told there was no harm in getting a
flu shot. I had a wicked attack one month after the shot. My lesions are
extensive and rehabbing again was hard. So, no more flu shots for me ever
again!

Hi Jeff and All,
This is everything I can remember:
I received a flu shot either Oct or Nov, 2004, and I had a Mantuoux (TB)
test in Feb 2005. I believe the TB test is given with a live virus, but
not positive. I work in a hospital which is why I received the TB test,
it's mandatory. Sometime between March and June I remember telling my
co-worker that I needed a new chair, because my butt was going numb and we
laughed about it. I remember commenting on it more than once, but always
brushed it off to needing to lose weight. I had a cold mid April 2005,
missed 1/2 day of work and layed around on the weeked. One afternoon Mid
June I layed down for a nap and 45 minutes later when I got up my right leg
was tingling as if it were asleep from my knee down to my toes. Within 30
minutes the tingling moved up my leg to my thigh. My duaghter, a nurse,
and I both thought I probably had a pinched nerve from beding over the bath
tub to bathe my granddaughter. The next morning I woke up and had no use
of my right leg. I only knew it was there because of the pins and needles
feeling in it.
Recap:
Flu shot - fall 2004
TB test - Feb 2005
cold - April 2005
TM - June 2005
