Toombsy Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Has any of you had the Swine Flu jab? I thought the nurse was over-cooking it a bit when she told me what might happen... Here's what hit me for three days... Completely dead left arm that felt like Tyson had punched it over and over, sweating, fever, shivers, runny nose, headache, sore throat and coughing my guts up. Evidently that's just a little dose of the proper thing. I feel for anyone who really gets it !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I declined the jab but my doc talked me into it saying she had had no ill effects, really good looking in her 40,s, I listen to her every word a..n..y way long story short I had it and no side effects , not a sore arm, nuffin!

WGD Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 My youngest boy had it on Monday, on the whole he's fine but has a real snottery nose and a bad cough. Hopefully better tomorrow then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Had a sore arm for days after the first shot and felt a bit rough for a couple of days but nothing too bad-had second jab 6 weeks later and no effects at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docholiday Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I had it but our oc. health have sent around a letter saying not enough front line staff have taken it up... I had sore arm for 48 hours, you shouldnt get any flu symptoms though.. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave 101 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Whats up with all you guys , I thought you could have the jab if you had other health issues , no ones offered it to me . Do you really think you need it if your average joe ? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
