Thread: What you need to know about the coming flu season

Well not so far. I had mine yesterday but apart from having agro from a Frozen Shoulder but that was in evidence from about 4/5 weeks ago.

That smarted a bit on top of the shoulder pain (the Cortisone needle not the suggestion of a Testosterone one) but it was supposed to have had a Local Anesthetic in it.


Funny woman!
