I really think it all depends on each person's chemical makeup. I mean, look at that young lady who had the terrible neurological reaction (see post #31). Who'd have ever thought that would happen?
I don't really see how they can make a blanket statement that it's safe for everyone. Everyone is different. True....the majority of people have no adverse reaction to the shot. But for those who do.....that's all that matters. And nobody really knows how they'll respond until after the damage has been done.
Even if they've had good results with it over the years. Things change. I've just lost alot of faith and confidence in doctors since being dx with MS. They talk out of both sides of their mouth and in the end it's not them suffering the consequences of these things....it's those of us who chose to take their advice.
Not saying it's their fault.....who's to know who'll have a bad reaction......I guess some folks are just braver than I am when it comes to trusting doctors. I've had better results taking my own advice these past few years. Like my Daddy always said....."if it ain't broke don't fix it."
