Well let me say I didn't set out with a plan to get a flu shot..
But my husband got one with no ill effects... So actually I went to the doctor concerning my cholesterol which is running a bit high.
Now really the point is that I am a admitted paranoidiact... is there such a thing?? Yeah.. OCD and all... Now I was sitting there at the doctors office and the doctor said.. Did you get a flu shot? No I says... cause I have never had one before ever... thing is I kind of doubted they would work but that was about it.. and so anyway in a split second I reasoned that my husband got one with no ill effect so ok yeah I'll give it a whirl.. So I get it... it was painless,,, at least at that moment.... and then later that day my arm got sore at the site of the injection... and that weekend I slept most of the weekend... not really sick though...
But this post is not really about the shot per se or any claims of disasters... Its more about the odd workings of my mind and the health industry and my fear of it in general... back to the paranoiaic or whatever..
You see it occured to me over 20 years ago that if a doctor gave you a medicine and it just happened to make you sick or perhaps kill you then really hey they don't take responsibility... or liability... or really they just don't care and can't care about every patient that walks through their doors or they would be a basket case... so they have to distance themselves from the work they perform....
But anyway whats that all got to do with the flu shot... well this is how it goes... I get the flu shot and then I am waiting for something to happen,, some adverse effect that can be reported to the vaccine whatevers... but nothing happens ... ha ha... but I must say my arm is still a little sore after 3 weeks... hmm odd but whatever...
Well getting back to how this all started... then there is the cholesterol issue... hmm another plot... thing is there is a plot.... as this paranoia is something that's genetic and passed through one generation to the next or maybe just to the few lucky saps who can't reason their way out of a paper bag to come up with logical and sound decisions.... Now if I sound critical I am but the joke is on me...
I find that I cannot understand all these medical papers I find or find contradictions and end up with numbers and statistics....
Well being somewhat of a dyslexic as far as numbers and knowing ones left from the right this presents as a major stumbling block to all my online research... so yeah back to square one.... to be or not to be.. or should I gamble with my health on facts I don't quite understand but have made every effort to do so...
Well the thing with statin drugs is that they can damage muscle tissue and possibly damage your liver and possibly your kidneys.... but yeah folks they have a major campaign to push these statin drugs to a ever widening population... lets give em to kids too now... statins for everyone...
Ok that sounds strange but dig a little and you will find truth in it..
well I suppose I could rationalize taking them if my cholesterol was hovering around 270 or 300 or more but its not.... and they " the medical oracles of the day are expanding on their theory's to sell more meds I think... that is to say that the numbers for cholesterol keep getting lower as a goal......
Hmm,,,, ok I admit I am paranoid,,, but whats a good paranoidiact to do...?? Aye.... take niacin maybe... how bout some fish oil???? OH Wretch.... I can't imagine trying to digest that....
So I wounder what people will be eating in the year 2090.... tasteless colorless something or others with nannites to eat away at the bad whatevers in your stomach and intestines.... think of it as a food and a vacuum all in one ...
well all tounge and cheek aside ,
its not what you eat but how you play the game... or whatever
