  1. Good to hear about your plans to get the vax. This really is nasty stuff. Becky
  2. YEAH, MY DOC SAID TO TAKE MY baclofen for pain and ibuprofen. but i had a reaction to the combo. S O THEN SHE SAID TO LAY OFF THEM FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS, AND THEN RESUME THE baclofen, which I never did. So I WENT WITHOUT PAIN MEDS. BECKY

  4. Thank you all. What a great support group you all are!!!!!!! GOOD THINKING,WILLIS, aS HEATHER SAID, THIS IS A"NASTY BEAST" and I hope that everyone 50 and over gets the vax! Becky
  5. Some of you may have noticed that I wasn't here for about 2 wks. recently. I was sick with Shingles I had heard of it, knew kind of what it was, but didn't know how sick it can make you, and it can make you very sick. OHE ARTICLE i READ SAID THAT IT CAN HAVE AS MANY As 15 SYMPtoms.Some of you may already know that if you've had a stroke, you might experience illnesses differently than non-strokers. I don't know how my case differs from others'. I JUST KNOW THAT YOU DON'T WANT IT. But the good news Iwanted ya'll to know is that there is a vaccine which is recommended for people 50 and over. Talk to your docs. Becky .s
