Sorry you don't feel well. You don't have the official "flu" so the vaccinators can say the shot doesn't give you the "flu." Of course, you feel like crap, but somehow that escapes them. My brother in law felt sick for several weeks after his vax. Hopefully yours will pass in a couple of days. Get lots of rest if you can.

I'm going to be getting the flu shot at my next midwife (Centering) appointment. There is no way to slip under the radar--they will have it ready for the two active-duty girls. The wives can decline it if they choose--they'll have enough there for everyone if they want it, but the other active-duty girl and I have no choice.

Why do you have no choice?

Doesn't take much to climb over to the other side of the fence with the flu shot... I tried it before too, and felt lousy off and on for almost two months... I would rather have the flu for a day or two... Now you will be able to share your experience with others as well...

Hope you get feeling better... being sick is no fun... esp. vaccination sick. IMHO its worse than the flu!

Numbers of years ago I listened to a conversation between to old ladies.

Second lady asks the first lady hows she been being she hasn't seen her in a couple of months.


First lady states she been sick sick sick and the Dr's don't know what wrong with her. Strange thing is though that the symptoms are the same as the flu but her Dr told her it cant be the flu because she had the flu shot. Which by the way was just a week or 2 before she came down with the mystery illness. Dr have run all sorts of tests on her she states, but don't know whats wrong.

IMO

Take loads of C, Aquafina

I'm one of the two active duty mamas in the group. I'm basically under direct orders to take it or I can be charged with failure to follow a direct order from my commanding officer. Honestly, I'd rather just have the flu...but their issue is "what if everyone came down sick at once..."

Aghhhhhhh! Sorry momma.... You SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHAT GOES INTO YOUR BODY.
Something needs to change... things are getting out of hand.

i am SOOOO GLAD you're talking about this. I just got a video sent to my email about how the only thing that REALLY helps you avoid the flu is Vitamin D which you can get from SAFE tanning beds and orally, but the amount of Vitamin D that you would need to take it thru the roof...10,000 units or something.
regardless the video said that flu vax have traces of mercury in them, and even have formaldehyde and antifreeze...what the eff!?!
no one should EVER MAKE you get one....tell them to get their shot where the sun don't shine.

Sorry for the ignorance...but how do you know which tanning beds are safe?

IMO there is no "safe" tanning bed. Your best source of natural Vitamin D is a sunny window.

You can't get vitamin D through a window. You must be outside exposed to the sun's rays.
