i got a flu shot saturday

[stilleto]

is it supposed to make me feel crappy today?

or that just because i did so much and pulled a hamstring?

and older woman passed out while waiting for the shot. She woke up and said it was the sight of the needle that got her.

wtf. how do you go through life passing out at the site of a needle? and why would you go get a flu shot??? jerks.

CDC - Seasonal Influenza (Flu) - Key Facts About Seasonal Flu Vaccine


Vaccine Side Effects (What to Expect)
Different side effects can be associated with the flu shot and LAIV.

The flu shot: The viruses in the flu shot are killed (inactivated), so you cannot get the flu from a flu shot. Some minor side effects that could occur are:

Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
Fever (low grade)
Aches
If these problems occur, they begin soon after the shot and usually last 1 to 2 days. Almost all people who receive influenza vaccine have no serious problems from it. However, on rare occasions, flu vaccination can cause serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. As of July 1, 2005, people who think that they have been injured by the flu shot can file a claim for compensation from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).

btw, the few time I got the flu shot I felt like crap the next day

sure it's psychosomatic, but if I do get the shot I'll get it on a Friday afternoon, knot on the day before I have to go to work

oh, thanks for doing the homework i'm too lazy to do. i'm working in my living room, all bundled up and shivering.

although... it's 48 degrees out (actually, that's what it was in town. it's 4 degrees colder at my house), and I haven't turned on the heat. and I walked a few miles today up and down hills, shopped, cooked, and who knows what else.

my doc friend told me some H1N1 vaccines will contain preservatives including thimerosal which may lend itself to more side effects

No, knot is correct.

they basically inject a minuscule amount of the flu into your body so your body knows how to fight it off if you get it.

they "basically" try to guess what strain will hit your region

in the military the battery of shots we had to take almost always made me feel like whale shit

I had a "world wide deployment" shot record which was misplaced about 3 months before my discharge

some NCO suggested I start that sequence again, needless to say ...

 

[shirlene29]

yeah, everyone gets the "barracks flu" from the battery of shots
sore throat, achey, crappy feeling with a touch of cough
cough drops can get traded like crack

Don't suffer like that. Turn up the heat. I think the CDC is advising everyone to keep their houses warmer this year to prevent the flue.
