Who is getting the flu shot and the N1H1 when it becomes available? I still have some concerns.
I would appreciate any comments or concerns you may have. Thanks. Pat |

Of course, if you have an egg allergy like I do, the point is moot!

If your MG is not flaring and there are no other reasons not to (egg allergy etc.) then YES get the shot.

My neuro is one who firmly believes that MG patients should Not get the flu shot, and after my experience from getting one, I'm terrified of what it will do to me.
Just too frightened. Becareful if you do. Some MG'ers have no problem with them, and then there are those of us who are basically trouble makers, and cause all kinds of problems for our docs... Love Lizzie |

Thanks Brian. Have you always gotten the regular flu shot without any problems?

Thanks Lizzie. I too had a terrible reaction years ago from the regular flu shot and haven't had one since. The swine vaccine frightens me even more, but so does the thought of getting the flu. My doctors all have mixed reviews which only confuses more.
Hugs, Pat |
