I think I mentioned this before, but couldn’t find the post.
On ****ty shot reactions, last year I got the flu and pneumonia vaccines the same day, same arm.
The lymph nodes under my arm swelled to the point I couldn’t comfortably keep my arm in a normal position at my side. That first day was awfully worrying. Never had any kind of reaction like it before.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

So, I went for my flu shot today. I am embarrassed to admit I have not had one in years, but the realities of this year brought home how stupid I was being.
Here's two observations: (1) Needles have gotten smaller or better or something. I have virtually zero pain tolerance and shots have always been very difficult for me. I barely noticed it. (2) About 2 hours after the shot I started to feel really dizzy. But in a good way, like drunk dizzy. It lasted about an hour. I enjoyed it immensely. So, what was that about? I've never had that reaction to a shot in my life (though I read up on it to make sure I wasn't about to drop dead and sure enough it is one reaction to a flu shot).**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

I had a weird reaction to my flu shot as well. My arm where I had the shot felt numb. I felt pain for a few hours. I was exhausted the rest of the night, went to bed early. Very odd. I've had a shot 3 out of the last 4 years I'm guessing. I used to never get the flu shot before that.Take the shortest distance to the puck and arrive in ill humor

Late to the party! I got SHingrix earlier this yr and was incapacitated. Got it in the late afternoon, by the next morning felt lousy. By afternoon I was on the couch shivering, aching and feeling like sh1t. My bro had same reaction. mr les had nothing. I guess that means my immune response was, um, vigorous.
Saw something once about Tylenol before or after an imm being contraindicated. Can't remember which journal (sorry, no linky). Theory was they want you to have an immune response. WHen you are feeling lousy it is because of the interferon release. There was some thought that the Tylenol would supress fever and mess that up. I always said I was going to look into more but when I was working I was too busy and now it doesn't matter if I know.
I still have to get my flus shot. Have been in absolute hell week at work and I usually go down for the count so couldn't risk it. Tomorrow is the plan. Followed by a reallllllllly large glass of wine and bed.

What about ibuprofen? Our house got rid of all the Tylenol. I haven’t taken Tylenol in probably 15 years. Acetaminophen scares the everliving **** out of me.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

I thought les had misspelled shingles at first.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

I'm not seeing anything wrong with taking acetaminophen as prescribed. As for taking it not as prescribed...
