Was just wondering if anyone has had the flu jab and it’s made your symptoms worse.

I was doing really well getting stronger at gym ,got myself back to work all great.

Had my flu jab in November and gone down hill quickly, have been off work since end January.

Shakes been very bad, movement and stiffness awful. Cramps in feet and legs and general weakness. Havnt been to gym just about manage a walk of about 30 mins twice a day and that’s with me forcing myself against all the symptoms.

Neuro put me on Amantadine last Saturday, still not sleeping and tremor worse. The only thing I have had is the Flu Jab. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

I had the flu jab last winter. No ill effects except that I got the flu anyway! This year taking daily 1 gm vit C, eating lots of oranges and wearing gloves on public transport. Touch wood so far no flu. Got repeated calls from my GP practice wanting me to risk coming in for a jab - definitely no longer keen.

I find magnesium helps me avoid cramps and CBD oil is a bit of help with tremors.

Sorry to hear about the setback. Hope you can pull back!

Hi twotutts42,

The Flu virus can mutate at a very rapid pace (more especially in school / community environments when there is a whole lot of open sneezing going on).

The Flu jab is never a guarantee, especially if it is formulated six months before a new outbreak geographically many miles away.

Just my personal view ~ Luck of the draw.

I had the flu shot. Mandatory for my job. Got the flu. Took tamiflu which i did not realize has an mao-b inhibitor in it! Made my pd symptoms much better for days and i only took one dose and puked it up an hour after taking it!

Thanks for all reply’s, I’m stunned at how quick my symptoms have got worse.

Looks like not flu jab. Must be just progression of Disease.

Time to start my fight and stay ahead . God Bless you all and stay well 😊

the flu vaccine contains mercury - a major neurotoxin. stay away from them. they are only marginally effective anyway (this year they say only 10 - 30%). try homeopathic oscillococcinum. take one dose under tongue once a month during flu season. costs about $12 for 6 doses, so youll probably have some left over for next year. my family hasnt had the flu shot or the flu for over 20 years.

I have taken the flu shot for several years. Each year i thought my PD was getting worse around the time of my flu shot. I was unaware of the mercury inthe shots and its effects on my PD. Never again will i take it. I did not take one this year.

We have good results with amantadine as it works with the c-levadopa.

What dosage are you on? I’m on 1 x day, 6 days in no sleep, pain,joints hurt and tremors almost non stop day and night.

They want to up it to 2 x day tmrw. Not keen. Good to know it does work elsewhere. God Bless

Had flu shot September, actually felt like I got the flu afterwards, along with slight worsening of symptoms that I always get with a cold. Fortunately effects were temporary.

In the US it is reported the flu "jab" as you say is 10-30% effective against a few strains of the virus which can of course mutate rendering it completely ineffective. If you still feel adiment about inviting the some of the virus into your body voluntarily, for Go's sake don't go to the Dr. office to get jabbed! Too many sick people there. Go to a pharmacy where they will inject you quickly and with less people coughing and infecting the area!

If you want to get sick.... go visit a friend or relative in the hospital or care facility!

my dad, vigorous and active at age 75, always got the flu shot, year after year. I told him about the mercury and aluminum in them and the fact the that vaccine isn't very effective, if at all. He got his shot in Dec 15 and in Jan of 2016 he got the flu for 2 weeks, sicker than I've seen him in my life. He came out of the flu with hand tremors and stiff body and what I said was a gait that looked like someone with Parkinsons disease. After 9 months of screwing around, his doctors diagnosed Parkinsons disease. he had NO prior symptoms to getting the flu and flu shot. Fast forward to 2020, he has declined a lot and is very stiff and shaky. CBD oil has been effective to treat the symptoms. BEWARD of the flu vaccine! I've corresponded with a doctor who agrees with me that the continued exposure to mercury and alum. in the shots was likely the cause, the last shot was likely the "tipping point" I feel it's my duty to warn all that will listen/read to beware of any shots that contain merc or alum.

Thanks for sharing this, hope your Dad manages to start feeling better soon.

I have not had any more flu jabs don’t intend to either. They should be more upfront about what is actually in the flu jabs I’m sure that most people who have it would think twice before accepting.
