Flu shot

I went and got one. The newspapers made it seem that people were flooding emergency rooms with the flu right now and it was all over. Now I feel like crap. My pain is worse, especially in problem areas and the dizziness, which has returned lately at a low level, is getting really bad. Even standing makes me dizzy.

So is this psychosomatic or is it a reaction to the vaccine? I hope I feel better tomorrow.

I bet it does affect the way you feel, I think in some folks it gives them flu like symptoms.

Hope you feel better soon.

((( HUGS )))

P.S. I'm allergic to the Flu shot.

I still feel bad today, but not terrible. It is like a bad day with MPS, plus a headache. Since I am retired, I can just spend a day in bed. It is better than getting the flu, I think.

That really stinks! I was just debating getting one cuz my hubby and I were in the ER yesterday, he had a temp of 102.9. I thought for sure it was the flu, but the test was negative. Doc said it's either one of 100 other viruses or a false negative. Poor guy.

And poor you, hope it gets better and isn't the full fledged thing.

I'm fine this morning. I think it just brought out my inner drama queen. I think everyone should get the flu shot, but not people like Kat, who is allergic, and has sooo many other things to deal with.

Chimerical-I'm glad you are starting to feel better from your shot.
Hubby, daughter have had there's, now to get the boys to get one.
They said it just hurt, but didn't have any real side effects.
