But the regular ol' flu shot. No.
Sorry, its one of my pet peeves.

You mean you don't have the flu vaccine in that big 'ol BAG O DRUGS you have? 
Like BetaRose, I got the flu after getting the flu shot. I always get the flu the week between Christmas and New Year's. Going on five years now...it never fails!

Hey I have a big ol bag o drugs too! Seriously, it's a gallon sized ziplock bag filled with the medications that keep me alive. Singulair, Advair, Flonase, Zyrtec, vicodin, Concerta, albuterol, Zomig. I am a walking pharmacy. It keeps from getting the flu too. Maybe that's the key. You need my list of drugs.

Yeah, my ziplock bag is actually kinda ghetto. I should get a pretty bag like Dolphinchica's.

OMG, are we the same person? Switch the Advair with Asthmanex (I made the transition a few months ago) and take out Concerta (turns out I'm not ADD bad enough to require meds, I use visual cues to get myself back) and add in Xanex. I think I'm adding some sleeping pills and maybe some migrane stuff soon too (I got to the nuerologist soon). I also have advil, excedrin migrane, tylenol, and aleive.
At any rate, I got my flu shot today.
