HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted December 10, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 10, 2008 I take it every 5 years and dont miss it. Folks whose Diaphragms that do not work properly are at high risk for Pnumonia. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder tagandbag Posted December 10, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yep, I had one a few weeks ago, first time. The nurse who gave it to me said take a couple of tylenols after. I didn't take the tylenols and it did make my joints achy, especially shoulders for a couple of days. Still glad I got thought.

Well, hell, let's hope that the rumours of your "passing" were highly overstated? Maybe you shoulda taken that shot after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
