Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Drew, so sorry to hear you had to turn around and cut your trip short. You need to get better, I am glad to hear you say that you have Dr appointment next week. Prayers sent for your recovery.

It seems like when I get the flu shot I get the flu that season when I don't get the shot I don't get the flu. To be clear, I do not believe the shot causes the flu. The time I got the flu several months after I got the shot several years ago, the dr said that it was the strain not included in the flu shot. It seems that is the only type of flu that ever goes around. I'll probably change my mind if I ever get the flu that the flu shot was suppose to stop. Remember when Doctors said smoking was healthy and diet does not affect heart disease.

roll the dice.

Where's the scientific research data?

The good news is today's ride was short and fairly easy. Bad news is I had to turn around and come home.
Thought I was doing ok and then felt plain awful, had to sit down I was so wobbly. I can't go on a trip like this, have to get well first.
Was hoping for slow improvement but this has been too much of a roller coaster.
I don't give up on much but this time I think safety and common sense has to come in first.
Could not be more disappointed.
So no pics, no visits with childhood friends and big loss of reservation deposits.
Plus I busted up my rv, though you can hardly tell.
All together, a big fat strike out.
More doc appts next week and headed downtown to pick up prescription anti nausea meds. If I just hurt, I'd tough it out. But feeling weak and wobbly while driving, no.
better days

Drew, if you're feeling awful, maybe you should go get checked out.

Drew that's OK, nothing wrong with turning around if you are not at 100%. I know you hate to loose the deposits but life tosses a few lemons once in a while. You will bounce back.

I'm a study of 1. oh, LS that makes two.
Thanks LS.

To be clear I am not saying don't get the flu shot! it is proven with 40-60% odds. It is not 100% with everyone.

Since I retired and not spending so much time on those flying germ incubators ... I've not had so much as a cold, let alone the flu. I get a flu shot on October every year. No problems with the two Shingrex shots either.

I totally agree! When I was working, they had mandatory flu shots. Every time I got one, I felt that little bit sick. It was not until about a month later that I would get REALLY sick. I was always healthy and rarely got sick before having the shots. I declined the shots for the last 5 years and never got sick. Considering that I was exposed to sick people for 13 hours a day, 4-5 days a week... I do not find it coincidental.

But it very likely is, my late wife worked with communicable diseases for many years before she retired, after years as medical supervisor of Tyson Foods Mid Atlantic region. I don稚 have her medial knowledge, but if you aren稚 allergic to the shot, you should get it, for your benefit and those you are exposed to.
4-5 years ago I had H1N1 strain after getting the shot, I also had flu in 1975, I started getting the shot in 1976, I don稚 feel it痴 coincidence either.

I never had a flu shot until my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and her doc said that we both and anyone else she was in frequent contact with had to. The wife had worked in schools most of her life and had the shots every year,as required. The first year I got the shot I had the flu twice the next 6 or 7 years I had it from 2 to 4 times.I refused last year and this and,so far haven't had as much as the sniffles.My primary doc gives me heck every time I see him because of my age and heart problems but I just tell him I don't like being sick so refuse them.

I think everyone is different and has different reactions to drugs so I'm going to avoid them until something changes my mind.
