Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Nope...not yet (knock on wood). Got my flu shot. But, two of my daughters-in-law and one of my sons got it bad. Eight days down with it. They used to brag about never needing to get a flu shot. They're definitely singing a different tune now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Flu shots are 60% effective. Don't go into town much and I keep a bottle of hand cleaner in my poket when I do. The media is whipping us ino a frenzy but just remember only about 30 deaths have occurred out of 300 million people. Inaskedmy doc if I should get a shot. I never have yet. He said, "You're in good health. If you catch it, you'll get sick, then you'll get better. That's about it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Anyone that has the flu ya'll got my sympathy and rest, rest, rest and it'll go away. Most of the deaths from this have been folks with some health problems to begin with. Yep, the media loves a good flu season! Rye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bill Burt Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Me, the wife, and the three youngest kids all had it over Christmas. It came on fast, sucked for about three days then went away pretty quickly. Hopefully we're now immune for the rest of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Me and Miss Lorrie been taking flu shots for over 20 years. When she was an elementary school teacher it was guaranteed we all would come down with it when it started going thru. Haven't had a case since starting the shots.

Sneaky Gun Runner SASS 79775 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I got it. I've felt worse. This is not a recommendation to try it, however. I slept all night with no continuous coughing. I am up now and have had a glass of OJ. I am now headed back to my isolation cell. Better that than giving it to the rest of the family.

Calamity Kris Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 My Oncologist insisted I get a flu shot before I started chemo. I'm glad I did. I know a few folks who got it and it sounded pretty bad. Not something I would wish on anyone. <<Slight Hijack>> Thanks, Hawk, Lumpy, Allie and of course Uno. :wub: :wub: I appreciate all the thoughts, wishes and prayers. 1 week of radiation down, 5 to go. Another check up after I'm done and, hopefully, it will be over!! <<Hijack Over>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titus A. Gnatsass, SASS #71705 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 My employer has offered free flu shots for years. I took it for the first time about 20 years ago in late Sept/early Oct of that year. The week before Christmas I ended up in the hospital with the flu. Decided I didn't want any more flu shots. Never had the flu again. Fast forward to this year. Dr. suggested I start getting the flu shot. You know, gettin older and all! Well, I got one in late Sept. What happens last week? Got the damn flu for the first time since my last bout 20 years ago! Sicker'n a dog. Missed work Thurs, Fri and this Mon. First missed work in several years. Coincidence? May be. But Titus has taken his LAST flu shot. From now on, it's bourbon for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
