Guest guest Posted October 6, 1999 Report Share Posted October 6, 1999 Does anyone know if a flu shot would alter the ketostix. I just bought a bottle and it is barely pink. I have been trying to do induction without the book. I got the book too. I also found a sale on bacon at Sack n SAv and you won't believe.....I got 10 lbs of good looking bacon for 5.90.......I put it in my freezer....I hope they carry this all the time......Jean..Anybody want to come have some , come on......LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 1999 Report Share Posted October 6, 1999 Barely pink is just as good as really pink. In fact, it's much better. Really pink means you're not getting enough water. Good job and welcome to ketosis Camilla! Camilla Glass wrote: > > > Does anyone know if a flu shot would alter the ketostix. I just bought a > bottle and it is barely pink.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 My mom and her four sisters all get the flu shot every year, they range from 70-90 years old. Do I tell them not to get the flu shot - no. My gut tells me that if they have been getting them for as long as they have and are quite healthy and alert at their age, that it has not affected them. However, one of them, my Aunt Helen, was diagnosed with dementia a couple of years ago, and now it is considered Alzheimers. I have sent them tons of articles on the connection between vaccines and thimerosol and they do listen. I insist to my mom and aunts that Aunt Helen absolutely DOES NOT get any flu shot at all. I just sent them an email telling them to refuse the flu-mist. It is a very hard situation, you don't want to tell them not to get a shot, because you don't want to be responsible if something happens to them because they got the flu, which could be dangerous at their age. Lynn > My mom gets a flu shot every year (she did not get one yet this year) but this was the first time she said patients were signing waviers of some kind, reason being the flu vaccine has thermerasol in it. She will probably still get it, even thoug she is hesitant. She is almost 70 years old, and is very confused about this whole mercury issue....I told her to do whatever she wants ( I do not want her getting the flu) and not to worry...if she gets alzhiemers ...we will all take care of her (haha). Seriously though I wish this whole thermirasol/mercury/vaccine issue could be resolved. We should not have to be living in fear of " what if " . > Lynda > > ps. I really don't like deleting Clooney!!

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 A pathologist I studied under gave these statistics on the flu vaccines. He said out of all of the people who accept the flu injection 50% will have a reaction of some kind. Of that 50%, 7% will have a reaction so severe they will end up in the hospital, 3% of those people will die. In light of this information, my opinion is that if there is no guarantee you will get the flu, then you are just playing Russian Roulette with your life. Further more if you go to look at the statistics, the Center For Disease Control, lump the number of deaths for the flu and pneumonia all together. What is wrong with that is that while some people will acquire pneumonia from having the flu. Pneumonia, is a bacterial infection, the flu is viral. so the death statistics should not be combined. > > Flu season is here.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 My doc is an epidemiologist. Her advice was to stay away from any vaccine.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I got the flu shot two days ago. I have had an allergy test done several years back that said I was allergic to egg yolk but not egg white. Over a year on SCD and egg white just does not see to work either. There is egg in the vaccine, but I got a dead virus version. Within 30 minutes I was achey, hot and cold and needed to sleep. My temp within an hour was up to 102.5 - I called the pharmacy and they said that mild fever is a possibility in getting the flu shot. This had not happened to me when I got it eight yrs prior. I also had some eggs incorporated into my diet at that time. The pharmacist says that I cannot get the flu from the shot because it is a dead virus in the vaccine (actually three different strains). They did say the reaction was my bodies way of adjusting to the presence of something in the vaccine and that it should pass within a day. Woke up the next day and my temp was at 97.4 and I feel fine. HOpe that helps. aiazeen scd 1yr 1.5 months > > >Flu season is here.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I haven't had a flu shot recently, but never had any problems with the ones I got in the past (other than a sore arm). Out of all the vaccinations I've gotten, only one gave me issues. I had to get a repeat MMR before starting college (if you were born between certain years, they thought that the vaccine you got as a kid was somehow ineffective). I ended up with severe pain in my knees and ankles. It was torture to just walk, which was really fun since the semester had just started. It lasted for maybe one or two weeks. The doctor, of course, said he had never heard of anything like that happening. Holly Crohn's SCD 12/01/08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
