In reply to Flu shots, anyone?, posted by BekkaH on November 13, 2002, at 21:04:45
> I don't know whether this belongs on PB or PBSocial, but I was just wondering who's getting flu shots this year, and if you're not getting one, what's your reason for not getting one?
I had a flue shot in Nov 1994..working for a water treatment plant at that time we need to have a flu shot because of all the contaminated effluent comimg into the plant..Years before that I had a flue shot and always got sick shortly after,( not to sick that I couldn't function) ..in 1994 however I got pnemonia(spelling not sure) taking tylenol 3 restricket me from coughing out the crud in my lungs and I got boncitis..the fever went to dehydration totally and I was unable to take care of myself..luckily a friend came to check up on me and I was passed out in the middle of the floor ..don't know how long I was there ..rushed to the hospital my temperature was 106 degrees, doctor told me I was lucky to be alive ...they studied my case with 6 months of testng and followup ..I was sick for about 2 months and after 3 months was feeling back to normal...today I would not take the flue shot and haven't since then..different stroke for different folks, there could be side affects ...this is my experience and wont get the flue shot again in Toronto Ontario...Robin
