I have been doing a lot of researching into just that question since that is the business I'm in. It seems to me that even our medical professionals are a bit confused when it comes to that question. I asked one of my doctors I see if I should get the vaccine. Her response to me was “I don't know.” I'm not knocking her, she is a great doctor, but the information out there is confusing, one expert says yes another says no. How are you to make a decision when the experts aren't even on the same page.
Every year there are always some who ask the question, “Should I get a flu shot this year or not?” If you have fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome it is even a more daunting question, especially this year with the so called swine flu pandemic making news headlines. There are just to many unanswered questions about the controversial H1N1 vaccine.
Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Kent Holtorf is interviewed about the swine flu and its vaccine, and he strongly recommends that people with mitrochondrial dysfunction, chronic neurological illnesses, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome not get the vaccine. To use his words, “ I have seen it “devastate” people with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.”
Remember, the swine flu vaccine is not the same thing as the regular seasonal flu shot. You and your doctor will have to weigh the risks verses the benefits of both vaccines and decide what course of action is good for you.
