Hi Sherry, With regard to your question below,my PWP wife Aliza had a flu shot last week and two days later had a massive case of diarrhea which she could not control because of her weak muscles.In addition,she has been experiencing unusually low drops in blood pressure and pulse rate instability causing near-fainting. We were told that the flu shot effects are noticed within 24 hours after the shot,so we are not sure that these effects are due to the flu shot.Since constipation is Aliza's persistent problem,the sudden diarrhea led us to suspect the connection.We would be interested in the reactions of others. Warm regards. Gil Lieberman,CG for Aliza dx PD 2/95,dx MSA 10/97 ------------ Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1999 18:05:01 EDT From: Sherry Macredes <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: NEWS: CDC Is Not Recommending Early Influenza Vaccination Anyone hear of bad reactions to the vaccination? At my mothers assisted care living they gave flu shots today, one lady with PD had to go to the hospital shortly after having the shot. Anyone else have a bad reaction to this years vaccination?
