I want to preface by stating that I hate when people moan and groan on their blogs about how sick they are!
Do you ever think that flu shots can actually cause the flu? I used to think that was a myth until yesterday when I got really sick just four days after having a flu shot. It started with a very sore throat for 2 days and then moved into my chest overnight. Chills, fever, cough, sneezing. I stayed home from work and slept (literally!) from 8:30pm last night until 2:30pm today. Thats 3 nights sleep for me. I still feel out of it and will be out sick again tomorrow.
I blame it on the flu shot since I haven’t been sick in years and haven’t been around anyone sick in a long time. I was hoping to prevent this by getting the flu shot, not making myself sick from it!
Thanks for reading, have a great day ;)
Feel better soon!!! Ryan is my example of why NOT to get the flu shot…he had to every year he was in the Navy, and every single flu season he was in the hospital and then home in bed for days so beyond sick. Since he’s been out and hasn’t gotten the shot…he catches a bug here and there and is never sick for more than 24 hours…no where near as sick as he would get after the flu shot!

My SIL made me get a flu shot when niece #1 was born… I, too, got sick right after. It was so stupid and I was so pissed. I will also never EVER get a flu shot again. I was so fine up until that point… makes me angry.

Hi Kristi,
I found your site from your comment about not taking the flu shots. I have been researching the subject because I wanted to send out a newletter to my clients and friends about the super bugs in the news this weekend and the flu shots in general. It sure is a can of worms! I have not taken any flu shots for many years and I have only been sick a few times and not recently at all. I find that the more I strengthen my immune system, the less suseptible I am to whatever is going around. In the past, I would just stay home when “stuff” was making people sick. Now I am out in the public almost daily and I still don’t get anything. I feel blessed and I know that God is taking care of me as well as doing all I can.
I loved your site with all the pics and stories. Just wanted to say hi. You can friend me on facebook as I don’t remember my twitter name.
Keep up the wonderful energy you have created.
Carol
