Flu Vaccine

[queenofmean]

I had this Friday morning and since then I've felt horrendous.

Been sick, now I'm all achey, sore head, woozy if I don't eat, quite tired and easily tired. Could I be having a reaction to the vaccine? It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Was told to expect a sore arm or itchy arm...not had that just feel horrible.

Normally after the injection patients are asked to wait for ten minutes to see if there is any reaction so it is possible that you have had a reaction to it.

Cheers Danny, I've never been asked that.

If it is I want it to stop...I've had enough feeling this way. Guess will have to ride it out and that it passes soon.

My daughter once had a bad reaction but it passed after a couple of days.

This has been since the small hours of Saturday morning...if it doesn't pass by Friday I'll go back. I feel ok each day but I can't do to much.

There is a lot of those symptoms about at the moment. Perhaps it was just bad luck regards timing and you would have got it anyway? Saying that, I was reading about a doctor who doesn't have much faith in these flu shots. He said what it does is lower your immune system and some people pick up other illness/ viruses. So I don't know. Just feel sorry for you as you've been thru enough lately. Hope you get better soon.xx

My immune system is well dodgy at the best of times. I've had flu but wasn't as bad as I've had the jab. I agree Patsy I don't know either. I be had a horrendous year and quite frankly I have had more than enough and I want it to stop. I'm sure rest will do me the world of good :) x
