No one at the hospital and rehabs had clues about the infection, they were all saying it's the OA and as soon as "she gets a knee replacement, it will be better"...they were all pushing me to walk and I COULD NOT, it was a blooming staph infection found in an MRI, they did not find it in all the bloodwork and they were forever taking my blood.
Supplements were not the answer, 2.5 months of abx IV's...was done and then a knee cleanout and an abx flush so they say.

I take some supplements and also a flu vaccine. Thank goodness your drs found the source of the infection JM because your supplements were not going to cure it. Nkat That's individual choice, I have enough faith in what I do to forego the shot. I don't do them if I can avoid them.

Wasn’t your white blood cell count up from the infection? nkat My situation/issue was in the hands of a team of about 5 UCLA doctors and they didn't show me lab results, I have to believe they knew what they were doing, right? The head doc was in tears one night at the rehab as she was so exasperated NOT finding out why I could NOT walk. All that was needed as it seems to have turned out was an MRI....which they finally did after 2.5months in rehabs. Then when they found the infection rushed me back to UCLA hospital to do the IV abx prep. I have a suspecion that when they did the cleanout and an abx flush, the abx could have done more damage to my knee. My theory on it all NOW, knee is very stiff but I can't bring myself to a knee replacement....all this stuff is from a botched hip replacement in 2010. Take care, signing off for Oct 2.

I think many here don't think about the people who don't go for the vaccines do work on their immune systems..with their antioxidants: Vit C in higher dosing, grape seed extract, Vit E and other of the antioxidants that are pretty new in the last 20 some yrs...... there is an audience who don't "buy" the shots.... I had a terrible flu in 1956 or so. How many here do the above? Reminds me a bit about those who take diabetic drugs and then go on eating all the sugars and carbs they do....another topic but kinda along the lines.
I don't think your analogy about diabetics is a good one. A diabetic who disregards his physician's guidance is nothing at all like a person who CHOOSES TO GET vaccines to prevent or help prevent possible illness. If anything, that diabetic is more like a person who REFUSES vaccinations and thus puts himself at greater risk (not to mention others to whom he might spread the disease if he gets it).

Formerly Me, I also seriously thought I might die when I had the influenza, too. I've never before or since felt that way, but I honestly thought that the influenza might be the way I was going to go out. It truly scared the hell out of me.
Ever since that, I've been fanatic about getting the flu shot. I know some argue it isn't 100% effective and may not work against all strains of influenza that might come around, but I'll sure take all the help I can get!

Hey folks, it's all OK with what you all do with vaccines. I choose my way to keep immune system strong and healthy. I don't believe injecting mercury and aluminum into one's body is healthy.
I too thought I'd die when I was 18 with the Asian flu. Nothing like that since and we're talking 60 yrs ago.

Wasn’t your white blood cell count up from the infection? nkat The bottom line to this mess is that the hospital SHOULD have done an MRI very early but they choose to do tons of bloodwork and tons of xrays and found no infection these ways. The infection was in the bones of the knee I suppose. It showed up immediately when they finally did an MRI. Hard lessons.

Because of the anti-vaxxers is why childhood diseases are on the rise all over our country. Exactly...how much more proof to they need?

Exactly...how much more proof to they need? The world doesn't have the vaxxers mindset. And to be forced to vaccinate is plain wrong. Those that won't vaccinate, IMO, should stay home behind closed doors so they don't spread infections. I'm glad to know our school system requires ALL children to be vaccinated, otherwise they stay home with mama until they produce evidence they are current with vaccinations or willing to home school their children, if they qualify to do so. As of July 18, 2018, all 50 states and DC require vaccinations for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis; polio; measles and rubella (49 states and DC also require mumps vaccination); and the varicella (chickenpox) vaccination. 43 states and DC require hepatitis B vaccination (Alabama, Illinois, Maine, Montana, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Texas do not) to enter kindergarten. Some states require Hib, PCV, flu, and Hep A vaccines to enter kindergarten. Connecticut is the only state to require nine vaccinations. Many states require more vaccines as the children age, for example West Virginia requires the meningitis vaccine at the CDC-recommended age (11-12 years old). link

I worked in a private school for some years in admissions and knew all the families and the two families who did NOT vaccinate their children had the healthiest kids in the school. These families most likely used holistic meds to keep their children healthy.
The one family who's father was an MD had his sweet boy on some heavy duty drugs and I felt so sorry for the child.
Just sayin.
My daughter who has two children now going on 20 and 23, believes they had so many health issues and infections during their early years as when they were born the huge dosing of vaccines started and the peditrician pushed them all....these little babies shot full of toxins.
I had what was needed to get into first grade back in 1940's and that's been it. And had chicken pox, measles and light mumps. I've been pretty healthy all my life....

I had to go through those illnesses also, born before those vaccines were available. TG for the polio vaccine! nkat

All my friends that I grew up with went thru these childhood illnesses...we all made it and no one died. My grandgirl was due to get chicken pox vaccine and she came down with CP, we were glad, she made it just fine.
