Re: No more 2hr wait for me/Update on Second Shots

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I didn't get to have my second dose of X last week like we planned.

I got a cold earlier in the week that settled in my lungs. We all

know how that goes. Anyway, the Doctor put me on a evil pill burst

and I will get my second group of shots today! And so starts my bad

season. October - March are the worst for me lately. I'm keeping my

fingers crossed that X will help me in the next few months. Just

reading all of your wonderful stories, helps to keep me positive.

Thank you to all of you who share, and explain this process.
