Brilliant post and my respect and thanks for putting a face to the horrors that society mandates one does not speak of.

Just 2 weeks ago I went to a doctor (only because I'm required to produce medical certificates when away sick from work) and got told that I should have had the flu shot this year. I've only once had it and it made me very ill; exactly what we are told it's to prevent! Never again. I ignored the doctor's insulting and ignorant suggestion. Incidentally he prescribed me with medication for my virus that a 2nd doctor told me to stop taking 2 days later! They're not the bastion of wisdom they're upheld to be.

My best wishes and thoughts to you @marymg201. Following you.
