I know rhuemy says flu shots are very inportnant for us. I have usually only got them when pregnant because i seem to get sicker the years i get one. What is everyones thoughts and experiences on the importnace of flu shots with having an auto immune disease like lupus
I tend to lie in the no flu shot camp. I've never gotten the flu shot and I can count on one hand the number of times that I've come down with the flu and I'm 40+ years old. I have serious reservations about a product that gets so widely pushed from the government and medical community. Always try to do your research and come to your own conclusions before taking any treatment or vaccines.
I have always got the flu shot. Never had any problems with it! Never have i gotten the flu before
I'm totally against it even though my doctors recommend it. It makes me horribly sick everytime I get it. I do take the pneumonia shot though.
I get one every year. Have not had any issues with it and I believe it helps.
I get the flu shot every year now. My doc recommends it due to compromised immune system.
