LOL! To all who are swearing off flu shots
None of you have a husband coming home in December with heaven knows what kind of cooties they bring back with them. I'd rather be miserable NOW than when he is home. I have my echinecia mix as well to cover all the stuff the shot doesn't. I am going to be healthy when he gets home! Thanks again!

Flu shots always make me sick!
That's why I never get 'em anymore.

flu shots
I got my first ever flu shot this year. The nurse said if you are going to have a bad reaction it would happen before you leave the building. I don't think that's quite right. I got a slight sore throat later.

Feel better soon! The only year I ever got the flu was the year I got the shot so I stay away from that thing.

I've missed you luv and I'm sorry you are sick. I had exactly the same experience this year but it passed in about 3 days.

No one I know has taken a flu shot this year for that very reason. I had one in 2000 and got the flu. I asked my doctor about it. He said that there are over 200 strains, and that the shot only covers five. I will never take one again. I have not had the flu since that time, and I work around it a lot. Hope your recovery is swift. Take lots of fluids and keep the Tylenol handy.

Sounds like a plan, MW.....
Relax and enjoy your day, in spite of your problem. Glad to know all is well.
God bless.

MW,
I'm sorry the shot made you sick. Generally I don't feel any affects at all when I take one. Hope you are back up on your feet and recovered soon. Hey, there's a good movie on CBS tonight. Take a breather and enjoy the action. Shadow

it always makes me laugh that they give out flu shots right as the
season is changing and people are susceptible to getting sick. I mean, they're shooting the damn flu into you.
I hope you feel better soon!
