I had never had a flu shot in my life until November of 2018. I was 62 then. The winter of 2017-2018, I became sick with something so horrible, I was afraid for night to come that I might not get through the night for not being able to breathe. after 5 days, went to doctor who minimized to my face my condition, said I didn't have flu which meant she didn't have to give me Tamiflu which was being used then, and didn't have pneumonia, just bronchitis. I'd had bronchitis before. What I had was 5x worse. I live in Delaware. My mother, who never gets sick had the same. She had the same severe symptoms, coughing that hurt, wheezing, not enough strength to walk across the room. That's why a year later I agreed to get a flu shot in Nov of '18. Then 3 months later I suddenly was stricken with hepatitis (every symptom on a checklist for H) but tested negative. Was treated like crap at 2 doctors offices. Sick for 2-3 months. Fevers, jaundice, itching hands and feet . . .
