Free Flu Shots at work October 5, 2010 08:05:24 PM
Got a flu shot for the first time since childhood, I usually opt out of it each year. Not really sure why I decided to get one for a change, I mean, I haven't had the flu
since I was a little kid,
and I never bother getting the flu vaccines (probably because I never get the flu). But this time I guess I figured I didn't want to get sick over the winter
and my job is offering the vaccine for free again, so why not. Well now I wish I had never got the thing. Man! In only 3 hours after the injection, I started feeling woozy,
weak, and disoriented.
By the time I got home, I had all the classic symptoms of H1N1. Fever, dizziness, apathy, stomach discomfort, runny nose, wheezing, heat flashes rapidly followed by
cold sweats, it was terrible! I felt like complete and utter crap. I was even getting worried weather I'd even recover or not by Friday, which is the start of all the Oktoberfest
activities.
Well sure enough, the next morning, after a good deep sleep (despite the fire alarm going off at 1am due to the furnace being fired up for the first time
of the season), I felt great. I got out of bed with a mild headache, but my body felt as if I had never had any sort of sickness at all. I suppose since it's been so long
since I've had any sort of flu or vaccine, that I'm be more prone to the symptoms involved with getting these shots, and man did I ever get the symptoms alright!
