My daughter had a flu shot in 6th grade and within 1 1/2 weeks, she had the worst flu! She has never been the same since, and developed a severe syndrome. Six months after the shot, she had hour-long gagging spells and exploratory surgery found that her appendix had to be removed. The surgeon said this is common following a severe virus. After surgery, the gagging stopped, but she continues to have nausea as the primary symptom.
A year after the shot, June 2000, she got a woodtick bite, but the Western Blot test was negative. Now she is 20 years old. Last year she finally got a full diagnosis: CFIDS, FM, "Lymes Disease Stage 3 with 2 bacterial coinfections"!!!!, 2 serious viruses activated, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Dysbiosis, Sleep disorder, hormone imbalance, Celiac, numerous allergies, food & chemical sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies caused by all of these problems, etc.
Have you been tested for HHV6A? It can cause MS symptoms. I'm wondering if this is the cause of the brain lesions you have.
Healing prayers,

Hi Lori
Thanks for your interesting insight into the flu vaccination.
Getting a flu jab certainly is a topical subject, especially at this time of year. And there is much confusion surrounding whether the flu jab is right for ME/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome sufferers.
As with most things when it comes to ME/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, it does seem to depend on the individual. But as always, I always recommend that people talk it over with their doctor. And of course, your tip (to read through the waiver) is certainly a must!
Wishing you the best in health Lori, and thanks again for sharing your experiences.
