Next year I’m getting a flu shot

15 Jan 2010

This past weekend I came down with the flu, and I’ve been unofficially quarantined in my apartment ever since.  My nose swab came back positive for the flu virus, and although it doesn’t distinguish between regular influenza and the H1N1 virus, it doesn’t really matter at this point.  I’ve been home sick from work all week, crashed on my couch with a box of tissues and a slew of over-the-counter meds, trying to keep my eyes open long enough to watch some cheesy daytime tv.  I swear, I don’t remember being this sick for this long in many, many years.  Today is Day 6, and it’s still going strong.  I’ve been sweating constantly, I’ve had a fever in the evenings, my sinuses are completely congested, I have no energy, and I haven’t been sleeping well.  I go back and forth between being really hot and really cold.  I can hardly get off the couch to heat up some soup.  This is absolutely awful.

Hopefully I’ll be well enough to re-join humanity by Monday.  In the meantime, I’ve certainly learned my lesson: next year, I’m getting a flu shot.

    someone close to someone I’m close to is likely going to die. She started by feeling numb and is now in a coma. They think it might be because she got the H1N1 flu shot.

    choose your poisons wisely.

    I agree with Jackie. Don’t get the flu shot. It contains mercury (a poisonous neurotoxin that never leaves your body), formaldehyde (toxic), chicken embryos, animal viruses, aluminum, and who knows what else! Watch this excellent video:

    More info – Search Dr. Ben Kim’s site, and Dr. Mercola’s website for more information on the dangers of vaccines. Both are holistic medical doctors.

    “The only safe vaccine is the one that is never used.” — James Shannon, Former National Institute of Health (NIH) Director

    “There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunization of children does more harm than good.”

    Jackie — I’m sorry to hear about your friend. That’s horrible. I had read a news program about the dangers of the H1N1 flu shot but I don’t know anyone who has had problems, thankfully.

    Thank you so much for all the good wishes! : ) I’m finally starting to feel a little better, a full week later.

    The only thing I’ll say about vaccinations is that it’s a very personal issue. For me, personally, I’m not sure that I’d feel comfortable getting the H1N1 vaccine just yet because it’s still so new, but I’ve gotten the regular flu shot before and would get it again. It’s a personal choice.

    GWNN – I sincerely hope your friend recovers. Best wishes to her and her family.
