I have a chronic illness (MS) but I don't get the flu vaccine. Everytime I've gotten one I've had an exacerbation. Granted if I get the flu, I'll probably have an exacerbation, but I have rarely had the flu in the years I haven't taken one, and the years I take it, I guarantee myself a flare up because of the after effects of the vaccine.
I took the pneumonia vaccine last year at my GP's request...sure enough flare up of my MS. I'm steering clear of vaccines.
Really!?!
See that says something to me. You are being given something to boost your immunity, yet isn’t MS an Auto-immunine disease?
One would think that anyone with auto-immune problems should not get one of these.
