Susan, I'm not getting either because of a terrible reaction I've had in the past. I'm just going to be very careful and hope for the best.
Hugs, Pat Quote:

My Neuro advises me NO FLU SHOTS - says he had a colleague with MG who got the flu shot and became paralyzed - that's enough to scare me away from the shots.

Sounds like you're getting a very very small part of a story there though. It is kind of like the kid in Toronto who died of H1N1... there is more than we're hearing here. I got the flu shot and the H1N1 shot, I'm still walking around |

Hello all! I've decided to get them both - better safe than sorry!

I wish I could get them too, but I'm not willing to take the chance of getting another severe reaction again. Unfortunately there are some people who aren't able to tolorate them. Stay well everyone.

You're absolutely right Pat, if you get a severe reaction or cannot tolerate the flu shot,you should not get it. But that's the case whether you have MG or not. These are separate issues and seem to be getting confused in the discussion. There is nothing about the flu shot that is bad for MG.
