pneumonia shot
« on: January 14, 2013, 04:21:11 PM »
Any of you get one?  I finally found a shingles shot in stock, so got it.  The pharmacist mentioned that pneumonia shots were also recommended for people in "my age group".  The permission papers said elderly!!


That was Saturday afternoon.  That night my arm hurt all the war from  the fingers into the neck and kept me awake.  Today it still hurts when I have to lift or do things.  From what I found on the computer, it is not unheard of, this year more people complain than last.  So much for the 1 in 70 the handout listed as a side affect.  At least I didn't go into resiratory distress


Why is an elderly man still having to work?!
just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are not watching you

It was recommended that I take one in 03 after my heart surgery and I did.  Got another in 08 because they said do it every five years.  I had no side affects at all either time. 
 
The reason us elderly have to continue to work is first because of grandkids and the second is because of insurance.  But I could have that backwards,  I can't remember ;D
