I too have never gotten the flu shot. I don't think I am going to start now. I know our "immune system" was "compromised" as they say at the time of the TM attack. but does that mean that our immune system will always be "compromised" that we cannot once again build up our immune system? I was also wondering about that "shingles" shot??? Anyone here thinking about getting it??? I have a friend who has been in terrible pain for over a year with shingles..

I haven't had the flu since TM that I can remember and I don't think I've had it all that often through the years even before. I've always been a little afraid of the flu shot since some on the list got TM after having it, but since so many people have had the flu shot with no problems, if I were at risk -- prone to flu or with respiratory problems - I'd get it, but otherwise I don't feel a need to.

Interested in knowing how many people plan on getting a flu shot this season. I know this is very controversial within the group. Neither one of my neurologist have told me NOT to get one, including Dr. Kerr. They both have said that it was safe. My primary care physician suggests I get it since I have heart disease and diabetes.
