Flu

[BigRedBuster]

Ok, I've been sick for three day on the couch. If I have to hear one more story on TV about Teo, Armstrong or gun control I am going to throw something through the wall.

Is anyone else hit with the flu this year? I usually don't get sick. This time it hit me hard and I'm am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Had a roommate catch the flu, he looked like a zombie for about a week. I'm just glad he didn't pass it on to me or there would've been hell to pay.

Really? I came on here thinking there'd be people bitching about "FLU." Disappointed.

Well we all know that guy sucked a big one. It's really no secret.

Did you get the flu shot?

Had it for a little over three days. Just getting over it. First time I have had the flu in the last 14 years.

Did you get the flu shot?

No, I have never had one and hardly ever get sick. I was actually just thinking about getting one then was in a conversation with some coworkers who claimed they knew people who were sick after getting the shot.

It was too late anyway. The next morning I was sick.

Getting sick FROM the vaccine is a myth. Most people who get sick right after the shot would have been sick whether they got it or not.

You probably heard the news that Te'o's girlfriend was actually shot by Armstrong while he was doped up which is another case for gun control. :throw

I usually get a cold/flu every year that knocks me out for 1-2 weeks. Last year I got a flu shot and didn't get sick. Got another one flu shot this year. So far so good. I was a little concerned this year when the pre-shot questionaire asked if I had ever had guillain-barré. My neighbor contracted guillain-barré and she said they don't know for sure if it a flu shot could cause it. People also get guillain-barré without getting a flu shot.

i know they say this about killed virus shots, but I swear for three strait flu shots(in three years), I get a low grade fever exactly six hours after I get the shot(100-102). The fever lasts for about 3-4 hours then its over. Much, much better then getting the full blown flu. Normally when I get my shot it's much too early for the actual flu to be going around(Sept/Oct) so I know that my immune system has time to build up before being exposed to the actual flu. My fever and aches must be from the shot. My doctor told me that she is seeing some people that have had the shot and that their shots should be in full effect. I have also read or heard that this year's flu is starting to mutate and mix with the stomach virus and something else that I can't remember but isn't too good. I wonder what makes a year so much worse then the others?

I've been told by the folks giving the shot I may experience a low-grade fever within so many hours but I've never really had that issue.

I was told by a doctor once a few years ago that the flu shot is always one year behind the current strain. This means this years flu outbreak is the source for next years flu shots, etc. How true that is, I don't know but he said it's why the flu shot is not a cure-all. It's a crap shoot at best since each years strain changes.

This the first time in like 15 years that I got the flu shot. But that's only because I was made, otherwise I probably wouldn't have. Anyway, so far so good. I better knock on wood though, I hear only like 66 some percentage of people say they didn't get the flu after the shot.
