Dr. Terry Hamblin has an excellent entry on his blog from Saturday

(mutated-unmuated.blogspot.com)

regarding flu and pneumonia shots for CLL patients.

Hi Amy,

I have been told no flu vaccines by two CFIDS docs (once over ten years ago and

again about 2 years ago)

I have even been told no tetanus booster.

I especially wouldn't do a live vaccine.

I have never gotten the flu since I've had ME/CFIDS and I think it is because

that arm of my immune system is overactive (while the other arm is underactive).

TH1 vs. TH2.

So, I think getting a preemptive vaccine doesn't make sense.

I used to get the flu shot every year, and every year without fail I

ended up with the flu. I spent 3-4 months sick EVERY winter. I'd also

get strep throat which would develop into bronchitis, so I was always on

anti-biotics, which is a vicious cycle. My doctors have advised me

against it, since being disabled with CFS, etc.

I quit taking the flu shot over ten years ago, and have only had the flu

once in that time. To me, it makes sense. As far as I understand it, the

flu shot contains various strains of the flu so our bodies can build the

anti-bodies. A healthy body, anyway. For someone who's immune system is

exhausted or on overdrive, we can react badly to small doses of

chemicals/environmental allergens (paint, perfume, etc) that healthy

people have no problem with.

I'm pretty sure that doctors here don't advise the flu shot for people

with HIV, etc. If you've had it before without reacting badly to it then

you could probably continue, but I'm never doing it again. My two cents

anyway, hope it helps.

Peace, Jen.

EDIT: The reason I quit was that the ambulance drivers went on strike

here when they were ordered to have the shot (and refused). They said

they couldn't afford to be sick/contagious when treating patients. At

the time, formaldehyde was one of the things they put in the shots.
