Thank you for that.

I guess my biggest fear is that it's never going to get better, or could get worse.

I'm not a complainer. I usually feel pretty good. I'm relatively active and have no other health complaints. The only other time I had a flu shot I had no adverse effects. I wasn't even thinking about getting a flu shot this year, but apparently I'm now a VIP because I'm the main caregiver for my 16 month old grandson when both parents are working.
