My doctor and I have thoroughly debated the vaccine for me. I have issues where my immune system goes in overdrive for some viruses. My joints will painfully swell to the point I can’t walk. The last episode was 4-5 years ago and landed me in the hospital for a week. I was off the bike for 2-3 months. I went from riding 100 milers to a wheelchair in 3 days. I progressed to a walker then to crutches. Atrophy was awful!!

Based my sensitivity to viruses we’ve agreed NOT to introduce any more viruses into my body unless there aren’t any other options. Keeping my fingers crossed........
