Am I alone in being leery of the flu shot this year?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
I have not gotten the Covid vaccine, it scares the shit out of me. I have a family history of strokes and the last thing I need is blood clots. My husband, unfortunately, sees no issues at all and got the J&J shot in May. Felt like crap for about 24 hours after the shot, but otherwise he has thankfully had no issues.
Now he is off to get the seasonal flu shot. I have in years past gotten the flu shot without a second thought but this year I am reluctant to get it. He thinks I'm nuts but with everything that is going on, I wouldn't put it past anyone to tinker with the flu shot as well right now. Anyone else feeling the same way?
Ditto. And for me, it also triggered annual cases of really bad flu for about ~10 years forward.
It took that long for my body to reset so that I wasn't getting sick at the snap of a finger -- during the fall/winter AND summer seasons annually.
Huge regret of mine. And all because one year I decided to go for an annual check-up (something I hadn't done before - but I figured, I really don't take advantage of my medical insurance that comes out of my paycheck), and thought, "gee, my doctor seems to think this is going to be a really good idea, so sure, why not"
Never again.
