I got a bad case of the stomach flu a couple of months ago (lost 11 pounds in 4 days). I went to the doctor afterward, only because DH was concerned. The flu was so bad that there was no way I could have gone during it. Anyway, he said that from now on I should get a yearly flu shot so I wouldn't get this again. That didn't make sense to me since my mother always gets the flu shot and she got the stomach flu just as badly as I had had it. |
