250701 tn?1320974765 Sorry haven't been around, I have been sick for two weeks now. Went to the Dr. they gave me antibiotics, but they failed to take an xray. Come to find out Monday they took an xray and I have pneumonia. I have been home all week. Now I get to take my shot tonight and I hope it don't wipe out my immune system to bad. Dr. had to put my ribo back down to 400 until I get well. Well I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.
250701 tn?1320974765 Hey Patches! You have been through so much already, I truly feel for you. Insurance is interesting hunh? As if you 'want' to be on these meds just for fun! I'll be doing shot #28 tonight too.
Avatar f tn she didn't say dr said it caused pneumonia, she said if she didn't get the shot and she ended up with pneumonia her baby could have mental issues or downs. but i say do what you want my dr gave me the option but couldn't get it while sick last time so i'll be getting mine on tuesday bc i did get sick with the flu when i was pregnant with my daughter and it was pretty rough that's for sure.
250701 tn?1320974765 Well it's number 24 still hanging in there, trying to get pneumonia again, it never went fully away. The dr. sent me in some more antibiotics. Feeling like crap atm. I know tomorrow will be not so hot. Bones still hurting. My blood work came back it showed something called band. I looked it up and it said that it was the white cells forming to start to fight an infection. So i'm glad I got the meds tonight. Will be getting my viral load back in a few days.

Avatar n tn I got the pneumonia shot two days ago and today woke up to a very very red, hot to the touch and swollen arm from injection spot to elbow--is this normal
Avatar n tn My doctor gave me the flue shot and pneumonia shots last year and told me to get the flue shot this year as well.
Avatar n tn and a lack of air movement in my lower left lung. She diagnosed me with community acquired pneumonia. I was prescribed Robitussin with codeine to help me sleep, although all it really did was tire me slightly. After another week of feeling completely miserable I started to breath better, my nose dried out, and my cough produced less and less green mucus. Sleeping then was hard, but I was able to take my meds, settle down, sleep for about two hours, wake up again from coughing and repeat.
5770739 tn?1382315166 I am due in November which is normally when the flu starts going around in my area. My question is how do all you mommies to be feel about getting a flu shot? I have never got one before and neither have my other two children. For the past 2 years both of my kids have caught the flu right before Christmas... that being said I'm debating on getting the shot for everyone in my family this year.
Avatar f tn I'm not sure why your father was refused, I'm over 65 and the first thing they do is inject me with pneumonia shot. I refuse the flu shot, I've never had one and don't want one, the influenza's just mutate an every one I know who get's shot, get's the flu anyway. BUT as I have COPD severe, I do get the pneumonia shot now, my first one ever this year. You need to speak with his doctor and ask why.
518117 tn?1429276273 I have known of so many people that have taken flu shots over the years and end up getting flu like symptoms from the shot. Plus, I have yet to ever take the pneumonia shot. I not one bit afraid to take a shot. Never been scared of needles. But, I am though afraid of taking shots, that are only going to make me sick. When I am trying to prevent things like flu and pneumonia. To prevent becoming ill to begin with. Then, there is this swine flu that is all in the news, etc.
1853014 tn?1340038575 I was given my 3rd dose of Hep A&B shot yesterday in one arm and a pneumonia shot in the other arm. This morning woke up with burning feeling down the back of my right leg and sore to touch. Is this normal?
Avatar f tn Got mine today + my pneumonia shot.
Avatar m tn I asked my doctor if I could get the pneumonia shot this year since I struggled so much last year with my second bout of Pneumonia. He said I should only get the shot if I am 65 years old or diabetic. I do not want to struggle this year like I did last year. Am I too young? Am I not eligible? Is it a health risk for me to get this shot?
Avatar m tn I received my flu shot 3 days before I started triple med treatment (Pegasys, Ribavirin, Incivek) (flu shot Friday and started treatment the following Monday). It was given by my treating doctor's office so it was cleared by them. In retrospect, I would probably try to get it at least a week prior to starting treatment if possible.
Avatar f tn My GI doc definitely told me to get a flu shot and pneumonia shot. I got the flu shot 2 wks ago and no problems whatsoever. This was the first flu shot I have ever had. I have not yet gotten the pneumonia shot. I also started the A&B vaccinations prior to starting TX. I got 2 of the series out of the way prior to TX but the 3rd and last one is scheduled for December while I'm on TX.
Avatar m tn My husband just received his 2nd pneumonia shot 'by accident', 2.5 months after receiving his initial inoculation. By the next morning, his arm was swollen down to his elbow and very red and painful. His doctor was horrified yesterday (day after shot) and had him take Benadryl, Ibuprofen and apply lots of ice. Today he received an IV antiobiotic and will get more tomorrow and find out what it is. The say he may have cellulitis.
Avatar m tn I saw a pulmonologist who diagnosed me with asthma and put me on corticosteroids. Does that sound right to you? I took a flu shot and a pneumonia vaccine yesterday. Will that keep the pneumonia from recurring?
250701 tn?1320974765 Well it's Friday once again, lol time for the big peg shot. Still been sick since the pneumonia, Everytime my daughter gets sick or even sneezes I get totally sick. On another round of antibiotics It just seems like im living on antibiotics. Hope all is well with everyone. One more week then Spring Break...yeahhh then I can just stay in the bed and sleep.. God Bless an keep you all my friends. Hang in there, it's a tough road.
1225178 tn?1318980604 Yes, I highly recommend it along with hep A&B shots if you haven`t gotten them yet. I also got a pneumonia shot . The tx will give you flu-like symptoms, so go ahead & get your shots. I was also told to take my injections at 8pm so I could sleep through the symptoms. Good luck on your tx & May God Bless. P.S. Drink plenty of water.
250701 tn?1320974765 I took the shot Friday night, Saturday was all the pain. This is Sunday and the pain is gone just some soreness. So I don't know what he heck is going on. It also might be the combo of all the meds I have been taking for the pneumonia and itching and pain an nausha meds too. Dunno This is just crazy...God Bless Have a great day...
Avatar f tn 6 weeks ago I was diagnosed with pneumonia through a chest x-ray. I was put on Avelox and an inhaler. Two days later I had to go to the ER b/c the symptoms were worse. Breathing was more difficult. I was then given an antibiotic shot and a Zpac. They did a blood test-WBC was normal. I started to feel better the next week. However, as soon as the antibiotic round was over, my symptoms began to return. I run a low fever on and off all day of 99.
