Oh wow, I would not do it. They have not tested the side effects and there have not been enough clinical studies, there has not been enough time, there is no way its 100% safe for every person who gets it! Its quite a risk.

my resting heart rate is over 90....and I get exhausted too just even sitting here in front of the computer.....not that that has anything to do with this gal...just something I read in the article

What a shame. And the government has protected the drug companies. The government loves us, right? And has our best interest in mind? Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we let that same government control every aspect of our lives...including health care. Not.

This is a decision that is best approached on a one-on-one basis between your health care provider.

For anyone like myself who has dystonia and gets the medical botulinum toxin injections, I want to pass the following important information on regarding flu shots:
