| Nope... they still put thimerisol in them. Plus I would rather focus on keeping healthy prior to the season. I made it through this whole year without any cold, flu or migraine. |

| I have had a flu shot every year and have done since my teens, knock on wood I have gone 30 years without having flu, whether it is down to the flu shot or luck I don't know, but something is working. |

| After how bad the flu made my seizures this year (i had 'flu in march) I had to have my meds doubled, new ones added, I was in and out of NCSE for 3 days solid, the hospital wouldn't keep me in, kept sending me home, to rest (with 3 kids - HA!). I WILL DEFINATELY HAVE THE FLU JAB THIS YEAR. i NEVER want to feel like that again!!! I was running a temp of 104 and having to drag myself up to get the kids to school just so I could get the rest while they were out!!! |

| My initial flu shot made me feel lousy. But, every year after that point has prevented me from getting any serious version of the flu if they accurately predict it. I think Loudmouth's experience will inspire me to get the shot again this year.

| I have a friend that was forced to get the shot, and she had a horrendous reaction. It has ruined her health and she has had to quit working. She had a career in health. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/ar...-part-two.aspx Dr Mercola's view of the flu shot: Quote :

He went from being the strapping owner and operator of his own gym (he was in GREAT shape) to dependent on others and wheelchair-bound for life. He can barely walk...has use of only one arm...and can't sit upright. I won't be taking a flu shot anytime soon.

| Nope....I never get the flu shots. They tend to make me sick. I know, sounds weird, but I swear I get a case of the flu every time I get the flu shot. So, for the last couple of years, I haven't gotten the shot. I figure my immune system works pretty good since I get exposed to every germ and bug that enters my classroom thanks to the students.

| After reading what Dogtor J says about viruses in the body, there is no way that I'm getting one. Last year, we got our flu shots like good little people; two months later, hubby came down with some flu strain that had him out of work for three weeks and feeling lousy for another three weeks. |

Robin...
But way, back to the point. What is it that's been injected into my arm? This Thimerisol? I've had flu shots because I have a weakend immune system - Epstein Bar Syndrome and have fear of getting sick and run down. But after reading Speber's story about his brother-in-law, I'll never have another one again! Always Laurie

| We get them every yr. and will continue to. We have all asthma and our son has a strong history of Pneumonia. We cannot afford to get a bad case of the flu..which kills people each yr. It is good it is a personal thing and we can choose. I PRAY WE DON'T GET IT EACH YR.!! Michelle |

| Thimerisol is a preservative. It is MERCURY. Mercury is a neurotoxin |
