I got a flu shot quite some time ago that seemed to give me the flu (probably already sick with it), and for many years I didn't get the vaccines. I was lucky for a long time, but a few years back it clobbered me good, bed for six days straight (Netflix and tea are all I remember). I get a flu every year now. There's no co-pay either, so it's all free.

Glad you're better, Moon. The flu isn't like mending from a wound where you're just limited, or recuperating with bed rest so you can read or whittle. Flu can't be enjoyed even the least little bit.

Interferon taught me that it's not the virus that gives you hell it's your body because it kicks your immune system into overdrive and that's what flu symptoms are: a response to interferons.
