FLU Season and Dystonia
Hello.....
Yep, the season is going to quickly approach. Last year a few of us from MySpace had the Flu just terrible. I received the shot, of course I was instructed it takes two weeks to "get" into your system. I got the flu both in Sept ( we had an early breakout ILand ID) and then again in in late Oct. Or so that is what the doctor said... MMMM
My doctor now is advising I do not receive the shot until late Oct... I am thinking of heading to Wallyworld and getting it now... I do not want to be that sick again, nor do I want my leg to cry :D
So, my question's are:
1. Do you get the flu shot if no why not?
2. If yes, when do you think is the best time to receive Early early (about now), or Early mid Oct. Lastly Do you just wait until Nov and why if so?
Okay thank in advance for your time and response.

I too get a flu shot each year. I understand that the vaccine only last 6 months, which is why some medical professionals recommend to wait til Oct 1st, so as to be protected during most of the flu season. I also understand that the flu virus morphs throughout the season, which is why sometimes one still gets sick even after getting shot. Can anyone else shine any light on that?

Hi- I got a flu shot about a month ago and got the H1N1 shot today. I usually get a flu shot, don't have any reactions and don't get the flu. I wanted to get the H1N1 shot very much today because, with Generalized and a failed, very compromised neck surgery, I can't afford to get terribly sick with H1N1.
One thing I did notice after the H1N1 was a severe fatigue a little later in the day. By the early evening- and an hour plus nap- the fatigue had passed. Just thought I would mention.
