Patti,
Can't improve on that way of putting it, we're sick of being sick! Are you
taking a chance with the shots? Maybe you should tell your doctor that they
make you sick and ask if there is something to relieve it.

A wise friend said to me a few years ago, "Remember to be kind to yourself.
Sometimes we forget to." I find the thought consoling when I'm adding
aggravation to my other pains and, FWIW, am passing it on in case you do, too.

Take care.

Ellen
