Last year I got the seasonal flu shot without any problem.
This year I wish I had think it over...
While I was on my Pred taper scheme (from 5 mg pd to 4), I had the usual "bad" week following the change but it lasted longer this time, after 2 weeks, I was still feeling that general weakness. I saw my neuro which advised me to go back quickly to 5 mg, otherwise I may risk some other problems, which I did after a couple of days.
Unfortunately before the situation went back to "normal", I had the pneumonia shot, also advised by my neuro...Three days later, I felt much better (probably the Pred action?). That lasted 2 days, then the situation quickly deteriorated up to the early MG symptoms, jaw muscle weakness, chewing problems...
Now, about one month after the shot, I'm still waiting for my previous condition with the help of 10 mg Pred and an additionnal 60 mg Mestinon.
Needless to say that I completely forgot the flu(s) shot, also recommended by my neuro...
Maurice.
