maybe it didnt give me the flu but two days after i got the shot i was hospitalized and was totally healthy before the shot. so it did something seriously bad to my body

i have never gotten the flu shot and i have also never gotten the flu. also everyone i know who has ever gotten the flu was sick and then recovered and are living just fine today. i will not inject my body with poisons and chemicals unless it is to keep my from dying of something super deadly, and i dont see vaccines like the flu vaccine as one of those.i think when people think they get the flu from the flu shot, what is really happening is they are super sick bc their body has just been injected with poisons such as formaldahyde or aliminum or mercury (which is sitll used in some flu shots)...but duh what do you expect to happen when you are poisoning yourself?? i wouldnt do it....but that is bc i feel most comfortalbe not doing it, if you feel more comfortable getting it done then thats you. its different for everyone, but my advice would be no.

well you are due in october and that is the start of the flu season. my doc demands that my son, i, and my fiance all get the flu shot. and my son and i need to get the H1N1 (swine flu) shot too. but its up to you. i have never had a flu shot as an adult, only as a young child.

I don`t think the shot can give you the flu, but I do find it to be completely useless. Every time I`ve gotten the shot, I got the flu so I don`t think it really makes much of a difference. The flu shot is one of the last vaccinations that still contains mercury, which may not cause autism, but it is definitely not good for your nervous system.

I didn`t get the flu shot last year and behold, my LO was 4 weeks old and I came down with it. I wasn`t allowed to go near her which severally hurt my breastfeeding and was devastated cause she had to go stay overnight at her Grandma`s so that DH could get some sleep.

i know it works great for a lot of people but when i was in highschool i was hospitalized after the flu shot made me the sickest ive ever been def felt worse than when ive had pneumonia so as for me i stay away and im super scared to think about giving it to my baby when the time comes

  1. Silly poll, just checking the odds.. for parents of 3+kids, did you have:
  2. Career conundrum... Opinions valued (particularly from teachers - but I would value advice from anyone). Details inside.
  3. At what age do you think it`s appropriate to drop your child off at a sporting training (not a school sport, a sports club such as soccer, footy, tennis, netball club etc), and come at the end to pick them up?
  4. If you saw a car up your next-door neighbour`s drive (evening), would you make a social visit (and didn`t know them very well)?


  5. So this is what the Tooth Fairy would be like if the roles were reversed haha!
  6. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  7. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  8. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  9. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
  10. Family of 4 flying Southwest tomorrow (2.5-hr flight), baby riding in carseat on plane so can only sit by window. Flight is full. Which seating arrangement would you choose...
