I had my flu and pneumonia shot Monday.  By Friday I was sick, sick, sick.  Could not stay out of bathroom.  Could not keep anything on my stomach, not even water.  Was able to get a bit down today.  Ache all over.  Never have been sick from shots before but this one seems to have kicked my butt.  Trying to drink all I can but it is hard.  Will catch up with you all later.

I'm sorry you got sick, unfortunately you probably had a bit of the bug before you got your shots... ugh!  I got my flu shot last Thursday and my arm hurt all week!  I have a sinus infection now but I don't think it's related. 

Anyway, I hope you're feeling better soon and can keep something down.  There is nothing more miserable than getting sick - ugh!

I'm so sorry to hear that you are feeling badly. Do the best you can to get as much hydration as possible.

Feel better soon,

Barb

I had my flu shot this past Thursday and haven't had any problems at all.  In fact, I forgot I'd had the shot until I read your post.  I'm so sorry you're having problems.  This time of year my allergies kick up a fit and that's the only problem I'm having right now.  I need to renew my perscription for my Rhinocort nasal spray.  Just taking Claritin and Benedryl doesn't do enough.

Wow Vera.  That totally stinks.  Aren't flu shots to help you to NOT get sick?!  Hope you are much better soon!

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Hello everyone,  I have since found out that there is a nasty stomach bug going around down here.  Guess I got it!  A couple of my SIL's friends have been hospitalized for it.  I guess I was lucky.  I am feeling much better today and just have a few hot and cold spells.  Sure beats 101 fever and chills.  Thanks for all your relpies and concern.  I have the flu shot every year because of my DH's heart condition.  Dr say he probably could not survive a sever bout of flu.
