Is it a good idea to get the flu shot in the middle of a relapse?
Hello
Is it a good idea to get the flu shot in the middle of a relapse (shooting tingling sensations through out body? It's very mild though and is the only symptom I have right now). I'm 22 years old. Female. I'm about to start Copaxone in about 2 weeks.

Hi Shell,
Nice to meet you too. Thank you for the article. This helps a lot. So, just to summarize, I should definitely get the Flu shot, correct?
Flu shots don't cause relapses and it wouldn't make a current relapse worse, correct?
Again, I'm starting Copaxone in 2 weeks.
I know the article talked about all this, but I just need another reassuring opinion. So you think it's definitely okay to get the shot?
