SarahMae,
I found this article, and there is a picture in it....is this at all a possibility? Do your feet resemble this? http://www.anesthesia-analgesia.org/...104/2/438.full

imho, get the shot. I didn't, and lived to regret it. I got swine flu in June (mid winter for me), that wasn't so bad, just regular flu, but the pneumonia that it developed into was hell. Four weeks off work, not to mention the fatigue that followed it that I have only recently got over it.
Talk to your doctor, but unless there is a good reason to avoid the shot, I highly recommend it. My doctor said he's seen a lot of cases of the flu turning into pneumonia this year. just my personal experience of the flu this year - not one that I would care to repeat. Next year I will make sure I have both the flu shot and get a pneumonia shot. cheers raglet |

I didn't know there was a shot for pneumonia--is that new or has it been around for awhile? I've never year of that.

The pneumococcal vaccines only prevent pneumonia from certain strains of pneumococcus bacteria. These live in most people's throats all the time, in small numbers and may become virulent when immune system is impaired. We cultured each others throats in microbiology long ago and all of the class had this in their throats!
It is important to understand that other causes of pneumonia exist and the vaccine does not protect against them. This link lists and explains the various types: http://respiratory-lung.health-cares...onia-types.php
