Do you take the flu shot?

It's the one vaccine I don't get because of my specific medical history, not because I'm a nutty antivaxxer. I once had a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barré syndrome, where eventually I could no longer walk for awhile and had to spend a week in the hospital to treat the GBS, once I finally got diagnosed correctly (my GP said it was stress 🤦🏻‍♂, and even the ER docs later didn't know what it was initially). If it had taken much longer to diagnose me, there's a chance the GBS could've stopped my breathing and been fatal.

A flu shot is listed as one of the potential triggers (it's rare though, most people getting a flu shot won't develop GBS). In my case though the GBS seemed to be triggered from having the flu itself.

I never got flu shots before my GBS either because I just never seemed to get sick in any way that was really bad, so getting a cold or flu didn't seem like that big of a deal, thus I just didn't even think about flu shots at all.

My risk of getting GBS a second time should be even lower than getting it the first time, and my risk from a flu shot triggeing it should be low too, but I'm still apprehensive about risking it. When Covid started I emailed a neurologist at the local medical university and asked what they thought my risk of getting GBS again would be with either a Covid shot or a flu shot, and they said it would be incredibly low. I've never have any issue with the Covid shot, so perhaps one day I may try a flu shot (I mean if I did get it again, at least now I know what it is and that probably could speed up getting diagnosed and treated, but I hate the method of confirming it is GBS, and didn't really love the method of treating either). A history of GBS is something I also check off on the questionnaire every time I get a Covid shot.
