I got a call from one of the nurses from my home diaysis unit today. She told me that they have finally received the H1N1 Vaccine and will be administering it starting next week. I made my appointment to get the shot on Thursday.
Has anyone else gotten the Vaccine yet?
My school got a small amount of the vaccine on Friday. I was all ready to get it until I found out that I could not because I have had something called Guillain-Barre syndrome before. I'm going to make an appointment to be absolutely sure I can't get it. Guillain-Barre was absolutely horrible, I was essentially paralyzed from my waist down. But the flu could be dangerous for me as well.
Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place! Did a flu shot in previous years trigger this response in your body? How did you find out you have Guillain-Barre syndrome??
I hope it goes well on Thursday. I haven't had any bad luck where vaccinations are concerned and I certainly hope it stays that way! 🙂
