I have been recently diagnosed with CIDP. I have refused flu shots for the past 10 years because when I would get them I would get sick from the shot then violently ill from the flu later on. I would advise anyone who gets very ill from flu shots be checked by a neurologist for CIDP, indications of neural slowing can be found with an EMG.

How long must a person be free of cold and flu symptoms before getting a flu shot?

While a flu shot will not be effective against any active flu symptoms it will protect against the other flu strains contain in the shot. Flu symptoms such as high fevers, upper respiratory problems should be controlled but the flu virus in a shot is a 'dead' non-active virus and should not affect or cause any current virus.

Can you get a flu shot while taking methadone?

I am not a physician, but I can say that methadone and the flu shot affect entirely different bodily systems, so that it is unlikely that there would be any adverse interaction. However, if you have concern, you must mention this at the time you go for a flu shot. If there is a problem, the person giving the shots will be able to tell you.

Is the Swine Flu shot really a shot?

They don't shoot you, and it isn't a 'shot' of a drink, it's a needle in the arm. In the 2009-2010 flu season there was a mist as well as a shot for the vaccination for swine flu. In the 2010-2011 flu season the vaccine for swine flu protection is included in the one vaccination for the seasonal flu.
