Many of your "what if" questions were very relatable to me (with slight alterations).Patrick W.

The one where you list your chronology. Sorry about that! <br /><br />Speaking of one of your other posts,I stole some of your memes for my blog (but gave you credit ;)).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16153446405688097492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695992297755175196.post-89555675097833271742013-03-21T21:58:53.375-07:002013-03-21T21:58:53.375-07:00So similar, so scary.

Speaking of warning people, check out this post I wrote: http://elizabethmilo.com/2013/02/01/what-i-know-for-sure/<br /><br />Speaking of the What If game, I do it ALL THE TIME. No, not healthy, but I have not adapted to this illness the way I would have thought I would - I definitely dwell too much in the what if (past and future). What if I had known what lack of sleep, stress and viruses could really do? What if I break a bone when I am allergic to NSAIDs and opioids now? What if I have to travel overseas? What if I had not gone to Virginia? All. The. Time. What if someone had warned me that all viruses hide and all vaccinations take a toll on the immune system? Would I have listened? Probably not.<br /><br /> Six months after I got sick my good friend was having a baby and I asked my GP for the TDap. She put the order in and I was going to do it - we didn't know! My infectious disease doc was the one who said, "no more vaccinations ever. We will reassess when you're 65." wow, I just didn't get it. Even then, I still thought I was invincible.

Swam in dirty water, got sick, recovered to 95% for a while, got a vaccination, got sick again...for good. <br /><br />Weird....<br /><br />Makes me want to warn other people DON't GET THAT VACCINATION IF YOU'VE BEEN SICK LATELY. <br /><br />Do you ever play the "what if" game? It's probably not healthy, so I try not to, but still sometimes it's hard not to wonder. Patrick W.

I swam in a lake on vacation in Virginia.<br />2. 1 or 2 days later, I became extremely ill with unrelenting diarrhea, diagnosed as viral. <br />3. I recovered to about 95% and remained so for almost 3 months.<br />4. I got a flu vaccination.<br />5. 2 weeks later, I went to bed with severe chills and sweats and never recovered. I've had ME/CFS ever since.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16153446405688097492noreply@blogger.com
