The clinig i go to for routine care didn't have the flu shot so i put it off...ooops. I think you should get one, but not sure if you really need it. hugs Quote
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Yes, we should get a flu shot, because our immune systems are compromised anyway, and we would probably have a bad case if we got the flu. Just make sure you get the shot and not that kind that is inhaled, because I believe it has the live virus.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 : I agree with Sue, flu and RA can be a very bad combination because of the medications we take which suppress our immune system. I get a flu shot every year, and luckily have not had the flu since starting the shots.
