Here I am with an over active auto immune system. Now when I look back I know why I haven't gotten the flue but a few times or had many colds throughout my life. I have never worried about coming in contact and catching anything when someone was sick. I always thought I was the healthy one who would live to a ripe old age of 97, just like my Grandma Dora. What now really concerns me is the SARS Virus and the WEST NILE Virus. With having MS and if I were to get either of these virus's, just having an elevated fever could exacerbate my MS. Nope, I don't like being sick one bit. Last year I had the flue. Never had it that bad and do not wish to ever repeat that performance. I really thought I was going to die. Like I laid there planning my memorial and wrote my eulogy. I even had picked out the music that would be playing.
             I laid on the couch moaning and groaning. For four days I ached all over. I had to walk along the furniture and walls . The room spinned when I elevate my body slightly.I wanted to be left alone to revel in my misery.
              At one point I made a pack with God. Please get me through this and I will be a good girl and eat all my vegetables and lots of fruit. I even sent my husband to the store for fresh fruit and juices. And I thought it was only men who were the big babies when sick. I had taken acting like a baby to a new level and I never want to repeat the performance ever again. Ugh...I don't even want to think about small pox and vaccinations. Like my husband has said to me on numerous occasions, "Worry about today , today! And tomorrow, tomorrow."
