    I have a bad flu now but am getting the shot anyway. I've lost five pounds in three days and probably won't be able to go to work until Friday. Missing out on a lot of money.

    I'm always on the fence about getting the flu shot.
    I've never had one, and only had the flu twice in the past 8 years, or so.
    but when I DID get the flu, it knocked me out, and I then had a relapse and got pneumonia1
    I lost soooo much work, and ate up all of my savings.
    People still get the flu who have had the shot, so I'm still confused.

    ^ I've been getting it for 17 years and haven't. You need to time it right. Also I wash my hands like , no lie 50-100 times a day and never touch my face if I'm out in public with out freshly washed hands. Plus a lot of people don't get the shot. There's been tons of people at work sick. zi just stay far away.

    I've never had the flu in my life and haven't had a cold in almost 10 years. I think being in contact with a lot of people bolsters my immune system. But, it's also genetic. I come from a family with no cancer, heart attacks, stroke etc. Everyone dies of old age.

    ^^ True, but I meant everyone in my family has died of old age, not disease etc.

    It's weird. I have been around more people who coughed during the summer, than lately, now that the weather is cooler.
    not sure if they were sick, or just coughed because of the a/c.

    I just saw on the news that the strain of flu this year can't be stopped with the current flu vaccine they have. I'm soo confused on what to do now.

    ^ they said it's 50% less effective than normal. So just try to stay away from people coughing and wash your hands a lot. Don't use hand sanitizer) not as effective. I wish I didn't see this on the news because now I'll worry and if i didn't see it I'd be fine because i wouldn't have a clue. I'm OCD.

    I asked a dr, & he said it's only necessary for elderly, children, & those w/compromised immune systems. So I'm not getting one. I am going to up my vitamins, esp. C.

    I didn't get a flu shot this year, and I usually do. I'm winging it! I've always gotten one regularly in the past, but my fear of needles won out this cycle.

    I don't trust those flu shots. I'd rather take these: http://www.amazon.com/Fungi-Perfecti.../dp/B002WJ1BZK

    More info. on immune system-boosting mushrooms: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/ar...e-support.aspx

    Sorry for thread jack. This info is an alternative for the flu shot-phobic.

    100% correct. I was furious last year when they made my husband get one per immigration regulations. He was perfectly healthy, why give him extra crap he does not need? Eat well, stay warm, wash your hands, sleep enough.. you'll be fine.

    I believe it's still a good precaution for people like us who are around a lot of sick girls and who knows what the guys have that are trying to paw us all night but I'm OCD so I get it anyways. It doesn't matter how healthy you are if someone with it touches your mouth or you touch a surface that someone had it touched and touch your face . yuck germs just gross me out. It also doesn't matter if your familly lived a long time and didn't die of disease it's a virus. And i don't care if I haven't had a cold ot the flu in over 10 years it makes me feel better getting it. But it's not forced so don't get it if you feel you don't need it.
