I've had one really bad 'flu since I got ill. It was dreadful - but the payback for it afterwards lasted ages.
So a "2 week illness" really did me in for 3 months or more.

I do understand the fear of other sick folk - they should be confined to their houses until they are better!:devil:

However, my reaction to having stuff injected into me is not something therapy could deal with.
It is a normal and rational response.:p
After all - the biggest killer of all time is malaria. You get that via having alien stuff injected into you.

I quite agree. It gives me the heebie-jeebies just to see an IV in someone else. I really hate it when they remove whatever is being injected and just leave the needle hanging out of the arm. This does limit my treatment options.
