At my Rheumatologist appointment last Friday I was told that I should get my Flu shot as soon as possible. My Rheumatologist looked at me confused when I said there is no way I will be getting the Flu shot or the H1N1 vaccine. I could tell he was thinking here she goes again… silly girl with her silly paranoias about triggering the disease.
The truth is, the Flu shot could send my body into “attack” mode and create a big problem for me. Anyone who doesn’t acknowledge this is a fool in my opinion. He does what he can, but I am on the search for a new Rheumatologist. Someone who understands the nature of these silent diseases that creep up on you and it’s too late before you realize the damage done.
Here is why I won’t be getting the Flu Shot. I feel pretty secure in washing my hands and rinsing with Hydrogen Peroxide every night.
