The flu shot is the only immunization that I'll allow them to give me.

About 2 or 3 weeks before my right thigh and hip went numb in April of 2006, I had an MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) booster shot. (the mumps were going around in Nebraska and Iowa at the time)

I had no idea at that point that I had MS. It wasnt until I had Optic Neuritis in August of 2006 that I even had an idea that I might have MS. (went to the doctor for the numb hip, and she told me it was a sprain and to put heat on it...moron!)

I'm pretty sure it was the MMR booster that woke up the MS Trolls and got them started on screwing around with my nerves.

I've had two flu shots since I found out about the MS, havent had a problem with them at all, other than a sore shoulder and the sniffles.

Seems like I havent had the flu that often for the past few years, had a few icky colds, but nothing that reached the level of the actual flu. I'm pretty sure the flu shots have been working for me. I've been getting the flu shot since 1995, and the only problem I had that first year was that I caught mononucleosis. The flu left me alone that year.
