[QUOTE="bigv, post: 236396, member: 835"] My wife works in medical field so she obviously knows more than average joe I guess. I get the flu shot every year. About 3 yrs ago I contracted influenza. Man I had bad body aches, tight chest, fever etc. It lasted about 2 1/2 days. Wife said had I not had the flu shot it would have lasted close to 10 days and fever would have been worse. The flu shot doesn't keep you from getting influenza, it just lessens the severity. I have also had several cortisone shots in joint areas that I trashed from my HS/college sports days. The first few I had worked great but now I think I am immune to them as they have no affect. On another note, what really ticks me off is the prescription prices. Wife told me how a fella came in and they were discussing his issues. He is on a med that cost $9500 a month. How can this be? How can drug companies be allowed to rape consumers? [/QUOTE]
