Sally,
I've had TM since July of 2000 and I, like your husband, walk with a
cane. In the fall of 2000 flu shots were being given and I called my
Neurologist to find out whether I should get one or not. He strongly
recommended I get one and said anyone with a compromised immune system
should. He told me than that in previous years live viruses were used
in the manufacture of Flu Vaccines and that is no longer the case. He
said the shot would not hurt me but instead would be beneficial. I've
had a shot every year since and have not had any problems. I'm a little
confused as to your remarks about getting horrific side effects from the
2nd jab. Perhaps the vaccine is different in the UK than what we get in
the States?

Subject: [TMIC] TM question from Sally!
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 Doc's on Thursday and the nurse in
the surgery said he should have a jab for pneumonia. He ran that past
the Doctor who said "I don't see why
not"????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????????????????????? So he had it done there and then. He then told
me he'd 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 I'm 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 I'm
concerned its self inflicted this time.
I would really welcome your thoughts and comments.........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 I'm 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!
