Just wondering if any one had ever had any reaction to the flu shots like I did back in Oct. My Doc wanted me to get my flu shot which I did and I think that it is a good idea but am some what reluctant to after my reactions to it. I have always gotten the flu shot every year with no problems other than a sore arm. I got my flu shot one morning and by mid day I could tell that it wasn't going to be good. By late afternoon I was running fever of 102 and having chillls so bad and shacking uncontrolable. It happened to be a Friday so all I could was call the Doc. and was told to take asp. and call if it got any worse. The fever and chills would last for 1 1/2 to 2 hours then ease up, this lasted through the week end and on Monday I went to the Doc. The Doc that was on call could never figure out what caused it but he and my regular pulminologist told me that you can not get the flu from the shot. Well I'm not sure what it was but it sure seemed like a brief case of the flu.
I need to take a shot for pneumonia but am not sure if I want to after the flu shot.
