Tuesday afternoon my wife took me in for the immunizations I needed before I can start the new MS drug. I found out which 5 they were and I guess it makes sense now. Before I was confused. They are for tetanus, meningitis, shingles, pneumonia and hepatitis B. The nurse at the doctors office said that I could start my MS drug in 6 weeks. But my wife thinks the neurologist office said I had to wait 6 weeks after a booster I will get in 4 weeks for hepatitis B. I guess we'll find out soon. It will either be early August or the middle of October. Since the drug is new what is needed is not really apparent and needs some research.
For a while I was annoyed with myself for not getting a shingles vaccine or pneumonia vaccine years ago. Then I was annoyed because I thought my childhood immunizations ran out. Then I find out one is for meningitis and another for hepatitis B. I would never have imagined asking for either of those so I guess I couldn't have done anything to aid the situation.
It's funny how when I think I added to or cause a problem I get angry with myself. I often take it out on others. If it is something caused outside my control I am more accepting of it. I guess in some respects this is not the best attitude I could have. It was a guy used to work with about 35 years ago said often "if wasn't for my bad attitude I wouldn't have any attitude at all". It was always funny.
