I forgot to ask. It's flu shot time in Fort Worth and my office gives them for aboutr $10. I'm afraid to get one.

Is anybody else getting one???

Flu shots are always a good idea unless you have some type of allergy to the vaccine.

Hi guys, I am the neuropathy site, Mason. People at the site jumped on me when I mentioned the imp. of the shot.
I see you guys are using sense about the flu shot. I lost a friend last year, a fam. of four to the flu. He wouldn't get the shot. He got the flu, along with his severe neuropathy, it over took his body, and he died. Not much the hos. could do. Wise tails die hard. Mason

Mason, I'm so sorry. You can never tell about these things. One of our employees at work got the and promptly fell over when she stood up. They had to call the paramedics. Come to find out she was allergic to something, eggs, or something. She was off a couple of days but luckily she was ok.

I mostly just get a huge lump and it stays hot and sore for days. All hubbie gets is a small knot. Rats.....
