Sally,
I can't take the flu shots due to allergies......but I take the pneumonia
shot when due cause I had pneumonia in the weeks prior to onset of tm, and they
told me the virus from that
was what had attacked my spine. Know you have a rough job being his
caretaker, but I think in this instance, he was correct to have the
shot............also I consider the fact that he shared this with you shows
strength in your relationship!! Hope you can get past this soon, added stress
isn't good for you with all you have on your plate!!
And, don't ever feel you need to apologize for sharing your concerns....like
you said,
we understand where you're coming from while your friends don't really have a
clue as to what your life is now, compared to pre-tm........

Hi Guys
I really need to run something by you please. My husband who you may remember
got TM in Dec 2000, and who can walk with a stick, got TM from a flu jab we are
sure. He went to the Docâs on Thursday and the nurse in the surgery said he
should have a jab for pneumonia. He ran that past the Doctor who said âI
donât see why
notâ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
So he had it done there and then. He then told me heâd had it done.
How could anyone be so incredibly stupid?
Why would he tell me? And how can I work through this?
I have not lost my health to TM but I have lost a lot of my husband to TM. My
life has been devastated by TM too.
As you can tell Iâm very hurt, angry and frightened. You can also get
horrific side effects from this 2nd jab so I am terrified for his health and
wondering how our marriage can carry on if he suffers no adverse side effects
or further disability as he has been so stupid and did not even discuss it with
me 1st. I do know this though I will run as far and as fast as I can if
something else happens to him coz as far as Iâm concerned its self inflicted
this time.
I would really welcome your thoughts and
commentsâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦.especially if you can shed any light on wot
might of motivated him to have this jab, and then to tell me?
I have been awake crying since 4am and now Iâm at work I keep getting upset
again. Sorry to come to the list with all of this but my other friends do not
quite understand the implications here!
