We've never figured out why I react - but my reaction has happened for 8-9 years, and I really don't think I just happened to be getting sick when I took the shot that many years in a row... I get a 101-102 fever, massive body aches and a stuffed up head for 2-3 days following the shot. Maybe I just happened to be getting a mild form of the flu or another similar illness for those 8-9 years on the exact date I got the shot. I highly doubt it. So, I'm not fighting it anymore.

I really wish I didn't react, and could take it. However, I can't.
