Flu shot or not?


I know that PTS can be triggered by flu shots and if you have a past PTS event you have attributed to this you may wish to opt out of future flu shots .

I have had at least two PTS events over the years and maybe more really if I look back with present  knowledge of symptoms I did not have at the time. I have had flu shots the last three years and none of my past PTS symptoms were at all a part of them. 

 Maybe this is because I have the inherited type of PTS. Maybe the flu shot triggers an attack in a different way in those with inherited PTS.  I guess in any event I could still be save and not take a chance but at this point maybe the flu is the bigger enemy to my overall health and to the health of those around me. I choose the shot. If I get a bout of PTS so be it. I am bound to have an attack at some future time anyway.
