There’s always a big push for flu shots, from people who couldn’t care less if I die from the flu or not. I’ll pass, again.
I’ve had them every year for some time now and haven’t had any bad reactions. Or the flu.
I do think different meds act differently on various ppl.
For example ... what could there possibly be in Valium that could keep you awake at night?
I used to take it for occasional insomnia and it worked just fine. Wife was having a problem sleeping so she took one of mine and was up most of the night.
I think our bodies metabolize drugs differently. And not only drugs.
Imagine being allergic to peanut butter. A fate worse than death. Hmmm, that’s a bit extreme but then ... that’s me all over.
You’re allergic to peanut butter, but you can hang out with the nuts here? Amazing!
OMG! I’m allergic to peanut butter? I just finished off one jar and opened a new one. Uh oh. Too late. Can’t breatheā¦ (thud!)
Drama Queen,
Never had a flu shot. Never had a bout with flu either. 50 years now, I think its a racket.
Took a flu shot once while I was a dutiful Army wife (being preggos most of my young adult life - kept a lot of the insanity at bay) - got horribly sick. Never took another one.
I took the pneumonia shot in 2007 - since my son is a burn survivor and I have had pneumonia twice (serious both times, yuck) only real reason - but have been attempting to avoid all the other ‘healthcare’ (pleeeze I want to go back to medical care) nonsense.
At least the newest Doc listened - she will probably be our Doc for ten seconds.
