I HAVE ALWLAYS HAD THE FLU SHOT FOR THE PAST 10 OR 12 YEARS, BUT I DIDN'T THIS LAST YEAR. I TALKED TO MY NEURO AND HE JUST SAID HE HAS NEVER HAD A FLU SHOT AND PROBABLY WOULDN'T, SO I SKIPPED IT LAST YEAR WITH NO PROBLEM. I DO TAKE 2 VIT. D TWICE A DAY, PLUS GET VIT D IN MY VITAMIN PILL AND THE CALCIUM PILLS I TAKE. I WILL BE SEENING MY NEURO NEXT WEEK AND WILL TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT, BUT I GUESS THE FINAL DECISION WILL BE UP TO BE. I ALSO DON'T THINK THE FLU SHOT CAUSED MY TM. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SHINGLES COULD HAVE GOTTEN TM AS A RESULT. I DID HAVE A BAD CASE OF SHINGLES BACK IN 1992 AND THE PAIN WAS WORSE THAN HAVING MY TWO DAUGHTERS. IT TOOK ME ALMOST A YEAR TO COMPLETELY RECOVER. DECISIONS - DECISIONS. PATTI - WISCONSIN
