Dear Pam,

Our teeth do affect our emotions because they are so integral to everything else. It can also take some time to get over having the teeth removed. The pain goes away, but the trauma might continue for a few days. My acupuncturist thought that some groups believe that our teeth hold all our memories -- explains why letting go of one of them can take an emotional toll.

You are going to be ok. Keep taking it easy on yourself. I practice trying to love myself. It is hard work. I should be better at it by now -- I've had many years to practice

Hey Pam
Sorry I haven't responded. I have been sick for a few weeks. And then
I was Snowed in and not feeling like computering.

Donna

Well I caught whatever Jackie had, OMG I had to vomit repeatedly too, I felt like there was no end to it! Had a fever of 102 yesterday, its down today, 100 and I feel better, no chills today. But man this stuff comes on fast and hard. jack is down with it now and Jackie still has it so I assume we're in for a few more days of agony. Ugh. Thanks for all the kind words everyone, I needed them right now especially. Be back when I can.

Dear Pam,
Lots and lots of hugs

I hope that you and everyone in your home gets better soon.

M.

Its personally better for you all to get it together.

That way you don't give it back to each other.

Get better soon.

Donna

Thanks for the hugs Mari, we're doing better today, but man the headache from this flu bug is killer. Ugh!

You're right Donna, I am glad we're all down with it at the same time, I would hate to get this again or see Jackie or Jack with it again. Thanks for the kind words, we are definitely taking it easy today...

Dear Pam,
For the past two years, I got the flu vaccine.
I know that there are complications to the vaccine, but this year I was more concerned about complications of not getting the vaccine, if that makes any sense.

Anyway, I hope you get more relief soon.

Mari

Hopefully this will be the last time we're sick this season, I really hate the idea of getting the flu shot but we might get them next year. I feel better this morning though, so that's better, kiddo is yelling a lot though, I think he's well enough to go back to school...LOL!

Pam

I have been getting the flu shot for about 5 years now. Its something
that is required now by my doctor. But it was something I had started
asking for before this doctor.

I also get the pnemonuia shot because I'm prone to both that and bronchitus.
As it happens this particular shot last for 3 years. I believe I'm due it next
year. I find it very interesting the year before I got this shot, is I believe
the year I ended up in the hospital over christmas and new year with bronchitus that they had thought was pnemonuia one of the days I ended up
in the hospital. I haven't had either the last two years.

So it seems its been working. I also don't believe other than small doses of
flu that I've had it either.

Wow, I have had great luck.

On an other note, Derrick has been supposed to get it for many years. THe
year before we started, because the doc didn't believe me. He had it for 4 weeks. Off and on. Then he didn't get it because I couldn't find it last year.
Thanks to the shortages up here. We got lucky he didnt' get it.
THis year he got it again. Thanks to the school giving it.

Donna

well, i got it (the shot) for the first time ever this year.
got sick 4 times. 'course had i not had it.... i might have been sick 5 or 6?

we gotta remember, the flu shot does not protect against all viral strains, nor the common cold, nor bacterial infections....

anyway, glad to hear you are all on the mend now, Pam. Weather's warming up too now, hope you stay well.
