Flu shot was on October 14 and my blood test with the ESRspike was October 15 ( I just had to look at my calendar to double check) I'm also sportin' a bladder infection - I know those pretty well, and will have to wait for Monday to get some antibiotics to take care of that bad boy. That's really frightening about flu shots triggering a full-blown flare. I've never - NEVER -had them before and they strongly recommended that I get them when I left the hospital in May. It made sense to me despite the fact that I've never been a big fan of the idea. Oh well, we'll figure it out and things will get better again in no time, I'm certain. If I have a flare then I have a flare. Despite the fact that I don't like the idea much, I know that upping the meds will take care of it and I'm OK with that, what I don't like is letting it smolder and cause damage without me knowing if it is active.

Monday, Monday...... ta daa, ta di da da...
