This is why Kevin doesn't get flu shots - every time he does, he gets sick as a dog. Considering he's one of those people who gets the sniffles once every couple years, it's in his best interest to stay away from them. Me, I just hate needles, and I'm not too terribly fond of western medicine in general.

Yours truly actually picked up bursitis from a flu shot. Yes, bursitis. This was in addition to a general "sick as a dog" reaction, and it happened about three years ago. Haven't got a flu shot since. I personally believe that I got the bursitis by the nurse giving me the shot too high up on my arm. It felt like she went straight into the shoulder, or at least got really close to it. The systemic reaction cleared in a few days, but it took over a year for the bursitis to completely clear up. My shoulder would go "click" if I rotated it too fast or lifted it too high. Ouch. When it happened, I realized that it's a good thing I'm a composer now, and not a performing musician anymore. Writing music at a computer is not incredibly shoulder intensive. Playing tympani or other percussion is. Shoot, even my old primary horns (bassoon and bass clarinet) involve a bit of shoulder. ;-) - -- Lee Jackson (jacksonhome@home.com) http://gameaudio.3dportal.com ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V5 #55 **************************
