So I had a flu shot at work. About an hour later, a co-worker said I looked flushed. Then I felt nauseous and really tired.

Went home sick.

Anyone experience this?

Got a few friends in the medical field. Two got pretty sick after the shot. Of course can not be 100% sure it was the shot, but it seemed most likely. I though the synthetic shots were suppose to eliminate this from happening.

I had to get a whole bunch of vaccines in a short period of time a few years back, 2007. I spent a day or so in bed, out of it. Felt like I had fever - maybe I did, don't remember.

Had a colleague contract Guillen-Barre(sp?) syndrome from a flu shot. Bedridden for about a year last I heard.

I shouldn't have bothered. I only get a cold once a year, haven't had the flu since I was in grade school.

Why would a young guy take a flew shot? That stuff doesn't belong in your body.

Sounds like your employer needs a kick in the jaw. And yes, I have a authority problem and am proud of it Fortunately, I have enough money and brains to stay freelance so I don't have to deal with f***ing sh** of that type.

this "flu shot" scam goes back to the 70's, when the government inoculated 48 million people against "swine flu". lots of folks got guillian barre syndrome.

all these vaccine drives seem rather ineffective, as there are so many viruses.

does make some vaccine makers a lot of money, though.

i wouldn't do it, though i'm not anti-vaccine. (as long as the childhood ones are not live virus, but the killed or weakened ones, which require more innoculations, but lessen the abuse of the immune system. )

p.s. i am not a scientist, nor do i play one on t.v.

Coincidence. All you'll find on the internets is conspiracy theory. Be well. Be happy. Don't worry.

I've felt pretty bad after flu shots before...I don't get them now, I'd rather take the chance that I'll get the flu. My father was the same way, used to get really sick after getting a flu shot. I have heard of the GBS risk but I think you can get that from the regular flu as well.

The shot doesn't bother me. The mist makes me feel not so great for about a day after. Unfortunately, the military doesn't give me the choice of which one I get.

This was the first year I had any symptoms of nausea and diarrhea. Wifey reminded me that I had a double dose of Starbucks with loads of half and half. Weird thing is that I used to drink milk like there was no tomorrow when I was young. Became lactose intolerant. HOWEVER, sometimes I escape with no problems and sometimes my stomach is in knots with gas and diarrhea.
