The Seasonal flu shot and the swine

I haven't been on here in a while and so here I am. Over the last weekend I decided to take the seasonal flu shot, not because I wanted it but because my youngest daughter has asthma and I felt I would try it first to see if I will allow her to have it. Now I'm suffering because the vaccine has caused me to have a flare of my disease (multiple sclerosis). Some help huh? Here I am scared out of my mind because of the swine flu and the chance of dying when everyday we have a chance of dying. The swine flu isn't new and yes in 1918-1919 a lot of Americans died from it. I don't think it was because of the flu itself but rather not being clean. Today we are more health conscious. Over all I hope that the next wave will stay mild...
