I get a flu shot every year around September.
 
This year I got the shot on my birthday, Sept. 28th. At Christmas my 
roommate/caregiver became sick with the flu. I managed to avoid catching it for 
a week but I did eventually get sick.
 
While I caught the virus, my recovery time was much shorter than my roommate 
who did not get the shot. I think the flu shot aided in my quicker recovery, 
but I cannot prove that. My roommate is STILL suffering, while I am almost back 
to full health.
 
I have never vomited in 30 years as a quad, but my body was definitely trying. 
I heaved for several minutes but did not vomit. Which made me wonder: are quads 
able to throw up? Do you need help to do this? Anyone have puking experience? I 
apologize for the unpleasant topic, but I'm truly curious.
 
Don.
