Flu shots?

Just got back from my LLMD appt. Saw a big sign on the desk 'lyme disease patients should NOT get a flu shot.' I, of course had already gotten my shot in October. And have been feeling awful since. My doc thinks there might be a correlation.

My labs confirmed it. My immune response was worse my killer cells went way down. I'm just curious if anyone else has had this experience with a flu shot? Or has heard not to do it?

Thx!

I wouldn't get one even if I was healthy. I've never had one. That's great they have a sign out to warm Lyme patients. I'm sorry you've gone downhill since getting one. I've heard of others not doing well after getting one.

I'm with GardenPeace... I never had a flu shot and will never have one either.
I had HepA vaccination half a year before I started my treatment, and the result was a major pneumonia (Chlamydia Pn.).
I'm staying away from vaccines...

My dr doesn't want us to have a flu shot either. The bad news coming from Italy concerning flu shots only confirms my conviction.

My LLMD also said don't do it. I've gotten one every year before this year because I didn't know better, though.

I just read an article that said the 2014/2015 vaccine may be ineffective any way! So thousands of people are getting them for nothing.

Have never had a flu shot...and don't plan on it ever.
