OMG first flu vaccination has really killed me

polkfarmboy

I dont know how many of you guys have had one but this is my first

I went for a physical today and got talked into taking one of these h1n1 flu vaccinations so I agreed . Well I went with the wife to get my cat from the vet and in the car my muscles have stiffend up and I am shaking like crazy . It feels like my bodys in a freezer wilst my heads blasted from a hot furnace

I feel so sick like the climax of a really bad cold.Even when I catch the cold I dont feel this ill. Its so crazy how sick I have gotten so fast (4 hours)

My hands are chilled to the bone as I type this post

4 hours later? You were getting sick already. The flu shot took about 12 hours until I felt run down and lasted about 36 hours. Good luck dealing with that on top of the flu shot.

Next time skip the shot and get yourself some elderberry extract.

I never, ever get a flu shot. Why? About 20+ years ago I got one, and came down with the flu. Since then; a good diet, vitamins, a decent sleep schedule and I have yet to get the flu.

I avoid the flu shot, does no good other then make you feel like you got the flu. Just take care of yourself and you don't need the shot.

I just woke up face down in front of the comp lol

Face...when I am gettin sick
i know about it but this was diff unlike anything ever as in BANG!!! the instant shakes and pain in the bones followed by a rapid burning headache

I am sick and was not warned and have work to be done so I'm pissed

I got one last year and I felt like I had a light flu for a week.

Willow

Sounds more like a reaction to something in the shot

polkfarmboy

Yep I think so but dont know what?

I just wondered if this was the case for anyone on here

I have to do blood work at the lab so its nearly fasting time and hopefully I feel better or I'm telling my mommy on them

messiah

The flu shot actually can't give you the flu, but it can cause flu like symptoms. IMO that's just as bad as the damn flu. Flu shot? No thank you.

how about some Bacon PIE!!!:biggrin:

I've never had a shot. Do I occasionally get a mild flu-like virus...yeah but nothing that doesn't go away in a few days and mild for the most part (maybe once every five or ten years) .

It does sound to me, though, that you may be having an allergic response. You know a number of ingredients are involved in creating flu vaccines (eggs for example).

Sounds like it could be an allergic reaction to the carrier in the shot. I'm so fuzzy I don't recall if it's eggs or horse or whatever, but it may be worth paying attention to. It's a common carrier so if you have a problem it will appear with other shots.

They usually hand out literature with those kind of shots- anything in there about your symptoms?

Don't forget about Triton X-100, used in vinyl cleaning home brew recipes and Mercury. :eek:

The doc said that the trace amounts of mercury were so small there's no way it can harm the body but the wierd thing is that I never got any literature ?

Its actualy kinda disturbing?

Even the nurse in the waiting room said" Me and the doctors had one and neither of us is twitching "

I still feel like **** and keep falling asleep all the time. My ears are super weird so I'm definitely going to be telling my mommy

Ive been awake for 10 mins and still super stiff and cramped

hey I think you got the cat's vaccination and he got yours..

i got a double shot flu vaccination and i'm feeling ok.. you must have gotten a bad batch or something. it's not suppose to give you the flu. just prevent it.

I was given the flu vaccine on Monday. Tuesday I felt like crap and had no energy and sweat with the lightest exertion, Wednesday much better but still a little more tired than usual, today back to my normal self. Last year when I had one I had zero symptoms. Apparently this years contains H1N1 immunization so maybe that's the deal.

mdaudioguy

Got one today. A little soreness in the area of the shot - nothing unusual.

I'm lucky as I don't usually get sick - it's pretty hard for just about anything to live in my bloodstream as I mostly subsist on beer, junk food and lots of exercise. :eek::eek:

But every 5-10 years I do get REALLY sick where I'm down for weeks, like up to 10 weeks sometimes. Good thing it only happens infrequently. :frown::frown:

I am pretty tough but I'm too weak to move around and my breathings shallow.. must be all the crap in my throat , nose and ears

I was reading symptoms online and they are all the same as I feel right now except my symptoms are extreem

I have worked through every cold I have had except the ones where you randomly crap the pants

Now I gota miss work and will loose money

While in the hospital last year, I was given the h1n1 flu shot. It didn't affect me much.

+1 bro. Feel better man, rest easy.

And get yourself some elderberry extract!!!

Medicinal Uses

Black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is commonly used medicinally. In one study it was shown to be effective for treating Influenza B.[11] People using the elderberry extract recovered much faster than those only on a placebo. The study was published in the Journal of Alternative Complementary Medicine.

A small study published in 2004 showed that 93% of flu patients given extract were completely symptom-free within two days; those taking a placebo recovered in about six days. This current study shows that, indeed, it works for type A flu, reports lead researcher Erling Thom, with the University of Oslo in Norway.[12]

Taken from wikipedia.

Hope you feel better soon.

Isn't a Flu Vaccination have some of the "Flu" in it, it's so the body can build a resistance for it?

Mercury is considered more toxic than lead. Ask you doctor what would happen to him if he injected you with the same trace amount of lead.

I had a flu shot go south on me once while in the Army. I projectile vomited out of my barracks window, a good 25ft. After that, I lied and told them I was allergic to eggs. Haven't had the flu since.

gdb

If you had gotten an info sheet.....it would've told you to see a doctor immediately if experiencing symtoms like you are experiencing !:eek:

cstmar01

Ummm I get sick really easily and never have had the flu shot do that to me (and I've gotten a few of them already). I would say go to the ER as there is somethign you came into contact with you are reacting to and not in a good way.

bobman1235

A very small number of people have a severe negative reaction to the flu shot, you may be one of them. I'd call the doctor.
