Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 me too, 1969 and I was pregnant with my first. That was the only reason that I had the vaccination but I got the worst dose of flu I've ever had in my life. Never had one since and doubt I ever will.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I had my first flu shot in Oct 2001, at work, where we are offered this for free. I got very sick with a virus shortly after that shot, was sick with a nasty stomach virus of unknown origin (for one week) the following week. Within 2 months, I was hyperT/Graves w/diagnosis. I was hypoT before, just undiagnosed (that I am sure of). I've heard that a lot of people who have autoimmune thyroid issues have this happen after flu shots are administered. My first Endo asked me if I took flu shots when I saw him. He never explained. SandyE~Houston Original Message: ----------------- From: lestatl382 LestatL382@...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Ya know what I was thinking that I haven't thought about and made a connection? Last September was when I did my first own thyroid testing for the Frees and TSH. I knew that I had started on a downhill route because I was feeling really ill for the last 2 yrs before that. Sure enough my test results were horrible, and I had started on Armour a few wks before that. So, like an idiot (because I work in a healthcare facility, so I was more fearful of getting flu), I went ahead and had the flu shot in the first wk of November. Now, mind you, I was aware of the fact that I was still severely hypo, but no, that didn't stop me, I had it anyway. Now think about this. It was in the first week of the following March that I finally did my own testing for the thyroid antibodies, and you know they were both in the thousands, not hundreds, but thousands. I had just started having problems with swallowing, my throat in the thyroid area swelling, etc., etc.,........after being on thyroid meds for over 10 yrs. I never even had that kind of swelling when I was first diagnosed all that time ago. It had just occurred to me, with these posts on the flu vaccine, that that could have been the main trigger for them to soar so high during that time. I haven't had them tested again since I came on up on the Armour, and, as I posted, I have a suppressed TSH now, with the Frees just now in the more acceptable range (that's even a question mark though). As a matter of fact, I think it WAS the trigger, though I hadn't been feeling well before that. The first thing I had after I went to work at this facility all those yrs ago, was the Hep B vaccine, over a period of months. All sorts of strange things started happening to me after that time period, which, of course, could have been general stress, adrenals, and you know the rest, but I can't help but strongly suspecting all these vaccines that I'd never had in my whole life. Go back on the way back machine to the young age of around 5 or 6. I had my first DPT vaccine and got deathly ill for several days, the first time I was ever sick, and was never sick again until I had some kind of booster when I was 13 or 14. It was when I was 14 that I came down with pneumonia, out of nowhere. I was not sick from any cause, including a headcold, until I was in my early 30s, but had also had a tetanus shot around that time, when I got a nail in my foot. I'm thinking that we don't know how many things we are sensitive to out here, just not giving credit for it being that. It's like a mine field for people who have these things sitting on their chromosomes already. We truly are an accident waiting to happen.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I'm not getting flu shots. Have read they have Mercury, aluminum & other junk in them that make us sick in other ways later or even cause more flu epidemic. Ditto other vaccines & the pneumonia shots. Not getting them myself this year, didn't last year either tho I was sick last year but cured that myself. I know more alternative health ways to cure flu & pneumonia. If they don't work & I die instead...oh well.....sayonara. I don't care really. My body's so wracked with pain most of the time I'd rather not be in IN a body most days anyway. Caroline flu shots So what does everyone think of FLU shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
