Stelara - Kat's journey

[Kat]

flu last october and recovering from flu now, but there's a lot of it going around here at the moment.
But as I read other comments here, not everybody seems to be susceptible, so you should be fine.
Also the flu is just the flu, nothing worse or scary, Kat.

There is a particularly nasty strain this year. Over 30 kids have died due to the flu in the states and yes that's a low percentage most likely when figured with the number of kids who contacted the flu. Only people under the age of 18 have to be reported to the CDC so there isn't a known number for how many adults and elderly have died this flu season. And no, I'm not paranoid about it...well not much ..... and should I get the flu I'd call my doctor, take my meds and rest up just like I would anyway. I do REALLY appreciate the reassurance however!!!!

A bit of background for me is that I do not have a scientific mind so when it comes to how meds work and things like our immune system it all goes a bit over my head so I tend to ask basic sometimes even childish questions, you'll get used to me (I hope!)

I am happy to have someone just ahead of me on Stelara so I can learn things a bit in advance, so thank you for sharing your journey and again, thank you for the reassurance.
