Swine Flu Vaccine...H1N1..

To vaccinate or not....Well, I chose to....
I always get the flu shot every year as some of my most horrific illnesses have been bouts with the flu. As a diabetic, it is very difficult to get the flu and not get wiped out. Usually, I will be down and out for a few days and my bloodsugars will vary widely. A few years back, I chose to forgo the flu shot....needless to say, I won't do that again. I was sicker than a dog and was completely out of control of my diabetes.
For me.....Vaccinate!!!!!
