I became deathly ill in 1984 from a flu shot. I went from a healthy 120 lb. woman to 96 lbs. Now, I believe I had Guillen-Barre (not well known at that time). I was so sick I broke a rib coughing.

Was sent to a rheumatologist who discovered I had a +ANA but didn't know what was wrong. After being sick for about 6 months and trying to piece together what the hell was killing me I remembered having the flu shot... told my family Dr. who gave me a ton of steroids and I recovered.

I've had other bad immunological and nerve related problems ever since and I credit that effing flu shot. I am also Rh- which I believe is a factor as I had also been given 2 Rhogam shots.

This is what caused the soldiers in the Iraq war to get sick, I am sure. Some people have more sensitive nervous systems and some nervous systems are fragile when they are being formed and susceptible.

When people tell me they had a flu shot, I think it's a death sentence. Don't do it! Especially don't give it to kids!!!!!!!!
