The Flu Jab

[Colywobbles]

As if my jet lag wasn’t bad enough and struggling to get the body clock into sync I’ve been literally floored by the flu jab this year.

Having a low immune system due to my kidney disease I always seem to get a slight cold after the jab but this years has been the worst ever!
Every joint aches, I have a constant banging head ache and my runny nose has decided to reward me with sores up there.

Is this just a man thing as the wife barely got a sniffle
I have a few mates who refuse to have it and saying I told you so!
Is this years Jab causing a lot of people grief or am I in a minority.

I'm having mine in an hour's time so will report back. I was OK last year with it.

I had my Flu jab and covid booster last Sunday. My arm ached a bit later in the day and I didn't sleep too well.
Body felt a bit achy the following day but not too bad.

Hope you feel better soon Col .

Hear ya. Better than 2 weeks in bed though!

 

[Paul R Owen]

Had both within half an hour last week. Slight arm ache from the Covid one, otherwise no problems.

Flu jab does not affect me, but my body aches all over normally.

 

[Big Phil]

I never get it

 

[Marvello]

I was really ill with flu a few years ago and would have gladly paid £200+ not to feel like that, so £20 is a bit of insurance against it, or free for a lot of people.

I'm having mine in an hour's time so will report back. I was OK last year with it.

24 hours later - had a hot spell during the night, arm is a little sore but nothing major. Feel about 95% normal.

Had Flu jab with no side effects until a Covid jab 3 days later. Both!?! arms ached that night but no other effects.

Got both jabs this pm, not looking forward to it... (hate jabs)

 

[JT.]

I've had my flu jab and no ill effects since

 

[Colywobbles]

I’ve gone from bad to worse and spent most of the past 2 days in bed so maybe it’s not the jab but actual bad cold.
Either way it’s proper man cold with all the usual ailments giving me gip
