Did you get a flu shot this year? Describe the last time you really had “the flu.” I’m really looking for the real flu.

Yes, I got my flu shot. My primary care is provided by faculties and residents at Eastern Virginia Medical School. I guess they get some sort of boost someway for making sure their patients get shots every year.

I started being seen there just as I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. When the resident I was seeing kept urging that I get a shot, I waited until I had a chance to ask my neurologist. Essentially, his take on it was that, yes, I want to get the shot, not the nasal thing.

Every year since, I’ve gotten a shot. Anything I can do, as a patient, to help, maybe?

I don’t remember the last time I had the flu. Probably when I was a kid. I know I had something similar in 2008, where they gave me sizzurp (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sizzurp)

But I don’t know if that was really the flu.
