" thats the problem with retroviruses... its like your stuck in a catch 22... HIV for instance... Vitamin D causes CD4 cells to proliferate... a good thing... but it can temporarily raise the viral load in monocytes... so they aren't completely sure if you should take vit d supplements.... so far research seems to show the benefits far outweigh the consequences, but there are those that can raise legitimate concerns.

retroviruses are the yuck "

" just had the h1n1 vaccine about three hours ago. our city is doing weekend clinics at the high schools and they were very nice. they asked me some questions... i didn't need id, i just told them I had asthma and chronic fatigue syndrome. they gave me the one you give to babies... very gentle i suppose.

hope everyone else is having an ok experience with it. "

" well the flu vaccine was find until the evening... istarted shivering and thought i was coming down with a fever. i immediately went to sleep and the next day woke up feeling better than average. i think i had a reaction because i did my graded exercise therapy the day before AND i did a lot of walking after i got the vaccine. i had been feeling really tired and i think i just pushed too much. i was fine after the rest.

" Thanks yall for posting this! Our area just got the shots in this week for people with chronic conditions, and I read through your comments (after I had done lots of research too!) to reassure myself before getting it. Surprisingly enough, I've had a little more energy than usual the past few days. Probably not because of the shot, haha, but at least I haven't had any negative side effects. "

" @tweety I hope your niece has a quick recovery!

I got the H1N1 shot on Thursday, it was less painful than the seasonal flu shot. I was a little extra tired for about a day but otherwise no problem. "
