Question Title: Is the flu shot safe if U have MS?Forum: Neurology Forum
| |
|
Some years back I stopped taking the flu shot as shortly after getting one I had an MS exacerbation. My husband read somewhere (can't recall where) that people with MS should not take the flu shot. It seems I recall something more about live virus vs synthetic or something or other. This forum is a heaven sent as we get such good advice! I even share them with my Neuro and Psyc. and they have very positive reactions. Keep up the excellent job! Thanking you in advance and have a super Thanksgiving! There are no,lagre scale studies in this area, one small study which I have quoted below concluded that this is a safe procedure in people who have relapsing remiting disease but if you have a history of an exacerbation after a previous vaccination then I would proceed with caution.
