This year my doctor insisted I have my now "mandatory for Diabetics" flu and pneumonia shots. So I went along with it, what the heck, what can it hurt. Well I have heard of this from many people, but it has now happened to me too. I usually don't get bad colds or flu. I have had the odd bug, sure, but only get the flu every 5 years or so, and I never get much more than a sniffle or a light cough.
Can you say pounds of "lung butter”! !
I mean I have been coughing, for days, and had a fever, the entire flu thing! Which brings a question to mind that the doctor laughed at, but I really think has some merit? Does the flu shot give you immunity to the three viruses the Canadian Health whatever guesses at and immunizes you against, but lower immunity to other flu’s? Seems that way, I really don’t think I am going to get it next year. I mean my kids bring home all sorts of stuff and usually it bounces off me.
