My neuro who is a MS Specialist said all of his patients get it and has it in his office. I've done it, feel crappy the next day with a headache, and that's about it.

I'm coming down off of a relapse, quit taking Prednisone a few days ago for the relapse I don't take a DMT or anything. I hear that we msers should indeed get the shot and I plan to in a few days at the rite aid in town. I filled out the screening paper and consent form online and included my primary doctor number and name. However I don't feel like arguing with the immunizing pharmacist about if I should or shouldn't have the shot....calling my doctor ect ect...I just want the shot with no questions asked that isn't on the form already(I wrote that I have MS and take an occasional steroid(Prednisone) I hear it's safe for Msers to get the shot and we should get the shot, especially if your immune system has been on a steroid.
So what have you? Will the pharmacist give me a hard time and HAVE to call my primary doctor for permission, or will they take my word for it? I have a short fuse lately and irritable...I just want to get the shot and be safe from the flu without any arguing.... But I know al hell will break loose once they find out I have MS and have to go through all the hoopla on if I can get it.
In your experiences...do they call your doctor before? once they know yo uhave the MS?
Thanks fo ranything said and tips will be appreciated..... wil I get sick? dizzy or anything?....Thank you.
