I wouldn't advise a flu shot unless it is thermasol free. My LLMD says no flu shots!!!

KeepHope - Keep us updated on wether or not the shot worked for you and/or if you have any postive/negative symptoms as a result.

I have never had a flu shot. I just don't want anything shot into me that my body can't handle.

I know this is as important as diverting the flu, but I'd love to try a little botox between my my eyes.... but there is no way I'm shooting botulism into my head... haha.

I got a flu shot and the only thing that happened was a sore arm.

I got a flu shot when I really felt bad....but all it did was make my arm sore.
At least I don't have to worry about that now when I get on a airplane to go home during my treatment.
