Flu Shot — to Take or Not to Take?

In 1998 i had the flu very very bad which resulted in a week long a racing heart and after that there was something wrong with my heartrhythm.
Since that year i had to take the flushot every year because of the risk when i would get the flu again.
This year i had the earspasms and i searched the internet about the flushot and i came on this website :http://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/can-swine-flu-shots-cause-sudden-hearing-loss/

Since 2005 i have mild tinnitus that comes and goes everytime in different tones but not very annoying, so i have to take or not take the flushot and to me it is like damned if i do and damned if i don't !

pls your experiences!

I took it and didn't have a reaction with my T.

 

i took mine a few weeks back and no problems.

 

Got the shot. No prob.

 

I'm 41, never even considered the flu shot, try eating right and getting enough sleep, it more effective than putting poison in your body. I can't remember the last time I had the flu.

Not to mention...it's just the flu, it's not aids!

 

For me its a bit different because the heart is already a bit damaged by a previous flu so a new flu may do some more damage but under normal circumstances you are right!

 

Hi There,


Since september 2015 i have Tinnitus in my ears and i have ear spasms and a thumping sound that is very annoying.
For a medical reason (heartfaillure) i must take the flushot every year ,because fever will worsen my condition
and the cardiologist said that when i would get pheumonia because of the flu it will give a serious problem.
I googled on the net about a flushot and its effects on tinnitus or ear spasms and i saw some (for me ) scary messages.
Like this one:

And there was one about someone who's ear spasms went wild after a flushot, ok well here is my dilemma;
I had to take the shot in november but didn't get it because the fear for my ears, the flu is now spreading rapidly
where i live so i don't know what to do.

With kind regards
Klara

 

Have you looked into how effective the flu shot actually is? This might help you decide as well? I think you can do more effective things to prevent the flu than taking the shot.

 

I got one a couple months back, no problems here.

 

Personally I don't take any drugs I don't need to.

If I was going to get a flu shot, I'd make sure to get a single-dose capsule (which is typically more expensive). The multi-dose containers that they use many places still use mercury as a preservative. It's a small amount, but in general you never get rid of mercury, it's a cumulative risk over lifetime.
