Just wondering if anyone had the flu shot and got side effects.

I am concerned with all the talk of getting a flu shot if you have a chronic illness. With a low white count I have mixed feelings about it.

I was told they are having problems with people getting neuropathy as a side effect after flu shot or exascerbations.

Major problem already. Any comments appreciated.

Searh this topic, it's been discussed a lot lately.

Sounds like your gut instinct is the shot is not worth the risk. For me I don't think it is. I'll take my chances with the flu.

I had a flu shot with no problems. Doc. had warned of herx, but it didn't happen.
