I came in to the doc's office yesterday to see my PCM... and while they were taking my vitals asked me if I wanted the flu shot (told me I'm due). so i said yes. they gave me the shot and it wasn't till AFTER WARDS that they handed me the print out on the shot and i was reading it over and noticed it said the shot this year is a "combined vaccination" including the H1N1 in the shot!
from what I remember last year, fibro patients (and some other chronic pain illnesses) were told to NOT get the H1N1 vaccinations and all these warnings came out against it. I freaked out at the nurse! why didn't she warn me that it had H1N1! when I tried to explain it about the fibro, she kept giving me deer in the headlights clueless look and saying, "Well as long as you aren't allergic to eggs, you'll be fine."
i"m not talking about allergies, woman! i"m talking about reactions to side effects! she just kept repeating the allergies to eggs thing to me. f***ing clueless!!!
she sent me back out to the waiting room to wait for my PCM to call me back, but by the time she called me back, I forgot to ask her about it. my primary doc is one of the docs last year that told me NOT to get the shot.
seriously! does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture?
did anyone get the H1N1 shot last year? did anyone get this flu shot THIS year? did you get sick?? so far, as soon as I got home yesterday, I've been getting body aches and had to lay down. (I don't normally get sick from the flu shot).

I didn't take the H1N1 last year, because of the warnings.....if it were me, I'd call my PCM back and ask about it asap....
I hope you feel better....the regular shot does that to me every year :(
HUGS from down south :)
((hugs!))
i was thinking of calling her today about the shot. i'm nervous because it's already in me
I was going to post something warning people against this, but didn't want to sound like an alarmist. Maybe I should have. I could spend the rest of the day ranting about how bad vaccines are, but won't as I'm tired.
PLEASE DON'T GET THE FLU SHOT!! Seasonal flu was at record lows last winter as people had been warned against the H1N1 shot and refused it. Every time I've gotten the flu shot, I've gotten the flu, when I haven't, I haven't gotten it.
Sorry they didn't give you the information like they should have - hope you're OK!
I just sent off some info for you hope it will be helpful regarding a different post from awhile back.
Agree with Cajun would call your PCM and ask about it. Hope U feel better soon.
take care gentle hugs
It was explained to me that every year the CDC plots the course of the various viruses that are making people sick and they create a vaccine that will protect against the three most virulent.
They can't make a vaccine that protects against ALL the viruses which is why it's possible to get the flu shot and still end up with a case of the flu. This year's shot does include protection against the H1N1 flu and I will be getting that shot at the end of September.
hugs jilly
bluesun, I hope you feel better soon. All of your stress over this could have brought on a flare, it might not even be the shot. Thanks for warning the rest of us about this, and I pray you'll be ok tomorrow. Judy
It's disappointing that your doc, who told you not to get the shot last year, wasn't paying enough attention to spare a thought for you.
How are you feeling now?
I hope you're feeling better, many healing hugs to you
hugs jilly
plez let "US" know you are ok!
H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine Insert Admits It Causes Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Vasculitis, Paralysis, Anaphylactic Shock And Death
The package insert for the Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine manufactured by Novartis has been leaked on the Internet. According to that package insert, the vaccine (based on an earlier vaccine product known as Fluvirin) is known to cause a whole host of very nasty side effects such as guillain-barre syndrome, vasculitis, anaphylactic shock and even death.
Of course anyone who has been studying vaccine side effects already knows that it causes all of these things, but the story here is that the insert for the swine flu vaccine itself is admitting all of these things. The insert says that it was updated during September 2009, so it reflects the very latest information.
You can read the package insert for this vaccine for yourself right here.....

The following is a list of some of the very nasty side effects that the vaccine package insert admits to.....
*Local injection site reactions (including pain, pain limiting limb movement, redness, swelling, warmth, ecchymosis, induration)
*Hot flashes/flushes
*Chills
*Fever
*Malaise
*Shivering
*Fatigue
*Asthenia
*Facial edema.
*Immune system disorders
*Hypersensitivity reactions (including throat and/or mouth edema)
*In rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions have lead to anaphylactic shock and death
*Cardiovascular disorders
*Vasculitis (in rare cases with transient renal involvement)
*Syncope shortly after vaccination
*Digestive disorders
*Diarrhea
*Nausea
*Vomiting
*Abdominal pain.

Doesn't all that sound wonderful?
Doesn't that make you want to run out and sign up to get vaccinated?
Now keep in mind that this is just what the H1N1 swine flu vaccine insert admits to.
What else will this vaccine do to you if you take it?
That is something to think about my friends.
So is there anything that you can do to protect yourself if you are forced to take the swine flu vaccine?
Yes, there most certainly is.
Dr. Russell Blaylock is an expert on vaccines and their side effects, and he has distributed a list of things that you can do to reduce the nasty side effects of the swine flu vaccine.....
