futurehope Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Yes. My grocery chain in Maryland was giving them on October 6th. There have been other days as well. And the food warehouse COSTCO has been giving them this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCsunshine Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Nope I don't do flu shots. My dr doesnt recommend them b/c I'd get too sick from the shot itself. I take my chances. I usually do get sick every winter, but.. whatever... welcome to my world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Tired Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Yes, hubby and I got ours last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miriam Poorman-Knox Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Yes, I did. Had some reactions, still better than influenza. Felt like crap. The injection site was swollen, red and very painful. This extended to my shoulder. It took a couple days to get over it. I have mastocytosis, so I am on mega doses of antihystimines I think that helped alot. Still talk w/Dr. if you have concerns. I still need to get it.

ariella Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 had a HORRIBLE reaction last year that nearly landed me in the ER.Severe muscle weakness including breathing. Turns out that many lymies can't handle a flu shot (didn't know I had it when I did the shot). So those potsy lymies out there, please consult an educated doc out there before trying this at home!!
