Slowly

I am slowly getting better!! I haven't been online much and I know my reader is overflowing with great posts!! I will be up and running tomorrow and will for sure be back to a normal schedule!!! Hope everyone had a much better weekend then I did!!

reaction to FLU SHOT

All i have to say is YUCK(eventhough I'd probably feel better using a different word that ryhmes with yuck)! But i feel totally and utterly yucky! Just like crap!!

So I decided to get the Flu Shot Thursday afternoon.. I have been planning on getting it but just have been putting it off.. So when i walked in to the foodstore Thursday to go grocery shopping I was estatic to see a table set up saying "Get Your Flu Shot Here." I felt like there were no more excuses not to get it!! So I manned up and got the shot!

About 2 hours later my arm hurt like hell! But i brushed it off.. Well yesterday I woke up with the chills and body aches.. I felt horrible all day long.. Now I feel even worse - Fever, extreme Nauseousness, back and body aches, etc.. do i need to go on! I feel like I have the Flu!! GREAT!! Wasn't I trying to prevent this from happening?

So I did some research (i know- I probably should have done it before the shot) and though tons of doctors say you can't get the flu from the shot they do say you get all of the symptoms - so hello? What the hell does that mean? You don't get the flu, just the symptoms; beats me! They also say if it's the 1st time you're getting the shot (which it was for me) that you should expect all of those feelings... So I'm pretty much left miserable now until this god awful feeling goes away!!

I am soooo regretting getting the shot **BIG SIGH**

So much for having a nice, relaxing weekend!!

It's always something isn't it?

So I say BUYER BEWARE of the Flu Shot!

It may make you feel better down the road - but not off the bat!

Flu Shot

OK.... so we are approaching that time of year.. The dreaded Flu Season... Working with little kids and other adults that are always around little kids I am prone to colds, germs, and the ful right? Last season the flu ran rampant around my school - many of my friends got it and unfortuantely so did I!! So i was thinking about getting the Flu Shot this season but I'm nervous! I'm not nervous about the pain or getting a shot - I am nervous I am going to get the Flu from the shot. And really who wants to deal with that.

I know that's a stupid reason not to get it because doctors say you won't get the Flu from the vacination, but it still makes me unsure!

Have any of you or anyone you know gotten the Flu Shot before? Were there side effects? What should I do? Get it or Not??

I think I need some guidance!
