    Flu Shot

    I don't get them anymore it never fails that I get so miserably sick Everytime I got one. For me I just risk getting it or not which is better than getting it for sure from the shot. But everyone is different I wish you luck and hopefully no bad effects.

    Hollidays

    I understand the holidays are draining for me also, so many people to talk to so much noise so much to do it's exhausting just participating then add cooking too it and clean up.

    Newly Diagnosed but Runs In Family .....

    Same here, but try not to look at the big picture, I know that's hard to do but it will just destroy you with stress even more. Just try to take it one day at a time and keep moving on. It's good to hear that you have good family support unlike many of us, but don't hesitate to reach out if you...
