Barbara,

I have developed and allergy to cephalosporins (spelling very ?) like Keflex
since TM.

I had just had a flu shot right before TM and my dad was in the hospital with
cancer.

As far as STRESS setting you up for immune system problems - it has been that
way for me all my life. Every time I would get run-down as a pre-teen, teen
and young adult I would get sore throats and swollen glands and very often
strep - I know the strep had to be around for me to pick it up but if I was
run-down I picked it up right away! I had mono in high school during my
senior year when I was traveling around the state of TX and nationally as part
of an organization I had joined at school. I was out from Thanksgiving to New
Years that year. I had Chicken Pox 3 months after that. I continued to get
strep until I had my tonsils out at age 21 or 23 (can't remember which) and
have only had it 2x since then.

Well, just my 2 cents worth (not sure it is even worth that) but I sure as
hell was a prime candidate for TM if it strikes stressed people who've just
had shots!LOL!!

Can't type anymore - damn left arm is killing me - can't wait to see that
neuro next week!
