I know how you are feeling, I got the crap before they told us about it the very first year, seems I had picked it up twice since... I swore to myself I am not getting it again EVER !!
Now I am wayyyy careful, stay here on the hill, and my kids and grandchildren know I don't want it, I have way to much fun to get it again, fun, well its work, but I am a nut that way.. hang in there Max, lots of fluid and rest, vitamin D, B and C if you can take it, I can't, meds that keep my platelet lowered don't get along with it..
