Anyone get the H1N1 shot yet? I got mine tonight. I wasn't planning on it but my Dr. insisted and I didn't want to argue. I was just wondering if people that got it had any problems with it.

I start PT Wednesday for whiplash, thoracic spine injury and neck problems from the accident.

Thanks for any input on the shot.

Hi Ada
Me and my wife only got the regular flu shot a month ago,, the h1 wasnt avaiable in our area yet,,but we both felt ill on and off for about 3 days,,,Its kinda queer tho,,ive had flu shots before and didnt feel a thing.. I guess im getting older than dirt,,,old age isnt for sissy's and im so old that my SS# is # 2 ,,,,bobber

Hi Ada, My Dr. recommended both shots, but I have never take any flu shots and because my immune system is so low, I chose not to get the shots. He did give me prescription of h1n1 antibiocs, which I took when I started feeling something. My son in law is a pilot and is all over the country, as my daughter and husband are around a variety of local people.
Wish you well- Take care, loretta with soft hugs

Hi Ada,
Dr S told me to never get a flu shot.
Dr Knobler when I recently asked, he didn't have a strong opinion either way.
Since I'm not near many kids any more, I skipped it, (and have for years).
So far, so good.

Bobber, the first time I got the regular flu shot, I got the flu but my Dr. said it was a strain that wasn't included in the shot. I have been getting them for about 10 years. By the way, I'm no. 1 on the SS list, older then dirt. LOL

Loretta, the reason my Dr. had me to start taking flu shots years ago is because my immune system was so low. I was very susceptable to catching things.

Pete, I am around the boys all of the time so I don't want to give them anything but they seem to catch things on their own. Dustin was sick for a month last year and lost a lot of weight. The kids passed things around for 2 months there for awhile along with Susan and Travis. I got on them and made them get their asses in to the Dr. Susan is like her Dad was, hates Drs. I think it's because Bill and I practically lived in them the last 10 years of his life.

I would rather have the shot though then deal with the flu. I also have had the pneumonia shot.

I didnt get it and I dont think i will because with all my RSD spreading i am afraid it will cause it to get worse. Its funny as a child i never got the flu shot and never had the flu. As an adult I got the flu shot and the next season i got the flu. I have only had the flu once in my life and i am 48now. I think i'll take my chances and skip the flu shot this season. momof4
