yeah I did and it was fine, no problems at all. Even my acupuncturist, who is

very anti-vaccine, said it was about the only one he would give his kids w/o

hesitation

Hi Beth,

I had one about ten years ago with FMS and Guillain-Barré. No relapse. I had

a serious dog-bite so didn't feel I had the choice.

Beth,

I was leaving for a vacation in a third world country,

my doctor gave me a tetnus shot. I relapsed big time,

almost missed the trip. It took about 6 months before

I could function normally. I will NEVER get another

tetnus shot. Just my two cents.
