The post that was quoted here has been removedNah, we all got our shots a couple weeks ago. Mine didn't hurt a bit, but I think my wife's arm hurt a little the next day (or maybe it was my son's arm). Anyway, we all made it through ok...
I think.
[I have to admit, I was a little worried too. I can be a bit of a hypochondriac...imagining symptoms that aren't there...conjuring up mental images of the worst possible outcome...etc.]
The post that was quoted here has been removedI had assumed I was just getting the flu shot today. This is my first time getting a flu shot ever!
I got a big surprise when I got to the Doctors office and he told me I was getting the flu shot in one arm the Swine flu shot in the other arm. I never felt a thing so far, knock on wood.
He told me to hang around for 10 or 15 minutes which I did. I drove home with no problems, and everything seems to be ok. I must admit I was a little nervous about the swine flu shot, from hearing the horror stories.
The post that was quoted here has been removedI considered that as I poured myself a drink the evening after my shot. No bad results.
What concerned me most were the "personality changes" you could experience if you had a bad reaction to the shot. How will I know if my personality changes? How would my wife tell me I might be having a reaction to the shot when I'm charging at her with homemade medieval weaponry?
What if my behavior is somewhat erratic to begin with?
