Re: Digest Number (((flu shots)))

[Guest guest]

I suppose not all RA people are sensitive to the same foods. For me, my wino

days are over. -- no big sacrifice, I only had a glass of wine here and there

anyway.

I do get the flu shot, have so for over 20 years because every winter, as far

back as I can remember, was sick for about 3 months. I've only had RA for

almost 2 years now. My first Rheumy [who had the ultimate audacity to retire

] insisted that I continue. It really helps me.

No! I like beer! I will have to experiment, tho, and

see if that's making things any worse...

On another note...

Should those with RA get a flu shot?

Thx
