The mother of a friend of mine died of some complication after a flu shot. I wonder if it was GBS. I have been so sick with the flu so many times when I *didn't* take the flu shot that the fear of this is not going to stop me.

While I was on active duty the Flu shot was an annual thing which I always went into E&E for. For some reason the shot always gave me the flu possibly as a result of immunity acquired when I had influenza as a child and it alomost killed me.

It was a simple cause and effect relationship but I could never convince the medics of the fact. As a result I became quite adept at ducking shot lines when flu shots were involved.

Arrgghh. I'm glad this didn't get posted before last Tuesday, when I got my shot. But then again, I've had the flu so bad that I thought I would die, and was afraid I wouldn't!

If you want to avoid or cure a flu fast (2 days) take Grapefruit Seed Extract. I take the max. strength tablets 4/day for healthy gums and teeth. Imo it kills bacteria better than antibiotics. It's normally advertised as a cold protection/remedy but it'll work on just about any bacteria related illness. A few years ago I used it to deal with three tarantula bites.
