My whole house has gotten the flu shot. I actually got sick after mine (NOT the flu) But I was dragging and tired and nauseous.. just didnt feel good at all (even had a fever). Zach had the same thing happen after his (could of been a bug not related to shot.. unk). And my arm hurt for 3 days!!

However .. i did get the whooping cough shot at the same time too -so dunno which one made me feel sick. lol Zach had the same shots as me. The boys were fine getting it (but they didnt get the whooping cough shot)

You really don't like being shown where you're wrong do you. The facts have been available for years yet people still insist on making false claims. It's no wonder people believe the crap they do.

You could use some reading of your own. How about an actual gov site about it? http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/flushot.htm#whatshould
S
ome people can still have reactions that most don't. Who are you to say someone is proven wrong simply because you showed links stating what I had already stated prior to you? She never said her damn mom got the flu, her mom just had reactions to the shots.

Quote *[h=2]What are the side effects that could occur?[/h]
  • Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
  • Fever (low grade)
  • Aches
The intradermal flu shot may cause other additional mild side effects including:​
  • Toughness and itching where the shot was given
If these problems occur, they begin soon after the shot and usually last one to two days. *End Quote

Those two side effects alone can make someone feel like they are actually sick with something.

But of course we don't expect you to know everything....because you don't, just remember that.​

I wasn't talking about little bitty symptoms. We were talking about getting sick.

This is from your own link. I'll ensure it's large enough so even you can read it.

Can the flu shot give me the flu?

No, a flu shot cannot cause flu illness.

And AGAIN you didn't read. She didn't get the damn flu! Good lord I thought you knew how to read? I guess that's my fault for assuming. We all know what that does.
People can have reactions to the flu shot.

Are you her evil twin sister? :24:


In case you missed it before I did say " imo " before but because you're from South Dakota I'll make it a bit clearer so you get it.

It is my belief that people that complain about " getting sick " or " experiencing " flu symptoms after a shot are only repeating it due to the repetitive negative comments from people such as yourself.

I get the flu shot and I haven't said anything negative about it. I am saying that you aren't paying attention to what you are trying to argue. Your point is completely moot, just because people can't get the flu from the shot (which I already knew and stated prior to you) doesn't mean they can't have a reaction that ends up making them feel sick. And it's great that you can ASSUME to know why someone would say why they are sick after getting the shot.

Guy, they are talking about get sick after the flu shot.. not getting the flu. I had symptoms after i got the shot, but it wasnt the flu. It just drains you. You are blowing this up to something that it isnt.

We got through this exact same thing every year around this time and every year I say basically the same thing so I'm not blowing anything out of proportion .... imo of course. *** Note to self: Self... must remember to always add imo and hope people actually see it which in all likeliness is extremely unlikely*** In fairness to many others here they also say the same thing and stand their ground and through hell or high water nobody ever changes their mind. It's kinda like the gay threads..... either you believe or you don't and I choose not to believe people get " sick, ill, symptoms of the flu etc before, during or after the flu shot. I suppose some people may but I haven't personally met one yet. Maybe I don't get out enough or maybe Americans are more susceptible to it. It beats me all to hell.

Like this discussion forum we had the same bantering session around the lunch table at work on Wednesday. Someone was silly enough to ask if we all were getting the shot. Most answered yes and the very few that said no attributed their decision to " not wanting the get sick " from the bloody thing. Even though they've never had the shot they all knew people that became deathly sick from it.

Even though Natasha doesn't need anymore links I thought I would post this for those people that like to read.

It's from my favorite non government medical site. If you have the time to read all 831 articles you'll be an expert and can answer all of our questions and concerns as well as debunk a shit load of myths and old wives tales. So far I've read about 10 or so and have a way to go. If someone beats me to the " some people " report :24: they get flu like, sick, ill or whatever the hell you want to call it symptoms please let me know what page it's on.

*** tap...tap...tap... where the hell is Leah Love? She's the smartest human that comes to this site. She could probably read and memorize it in 15 or 20 minutes ***

Are you sure he's a for real doctor? Maybe he graduated in the bottom of his class. Ever think of that? ;)
He's been Jim's doctor for 30+ years.. and mine for 7.. he did my pregnancy and everything.. I am still alive and kicking.. the only time he told me to get a shot was for the H1N1
