Withing weeks I was in the hospital paralyzed with a rare disease called Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). The doctors swore up and down that there was no way the two were linked.<br /><br />Then when I was 7 (going into 1st grade) I was required to get a battery of shots (flu being one of them) and AGAIN contracted GBS. Again, the doctors swore there was no way this could be related.<br /><br />In 2007, the CDC and doctors now acknowledge a link between flu shots and GBS. In fact, most flu waiver forms do not allow you to get a flu shot if you have ever had GBS.<br /><br />One thought has served me well, "remember that 50% of all doctors finished in the bottom half of their class". Question, Question, Question... and if it doesn't feel right, don't do it and question some more.Steve Misracknoreply@blogger.com
