Common Questions and Answers about Valtrex and flu shot

valtrex

Avatar m tn m a gay male and messed up/ had an unprotected dry humping incident about 3 nights ago. Now my perianal skin has been burning/hot feeling and I have had some flu like symptoms.. No rash or blisters but does this sounds like an upcoming herpes infection? I am on Prep so HIV isn't too much of a concern esp since there wasn't penetration... Would an urgent care script me some valtrex if I voice my concern ? Awkward visit...
Avatar n tn Hey, Jsue331--thank-you so much for your comment. It's so good to know that someone out there understands. I have similar symptoms during an ob also. But sometimes the pre-ob symptoms are harder to detect nowadays. Sometimes I have tingling in the genital area, but not as much as before when I first caught it. During this last ob, I had really bad nerve pain in my legs, which I never had before.
Avatar n tn I have felt terribly since I slept with ex. I had flu symptoms. Internal soreness so bad the dr's thought it could be ghonorrea/chlamydia. They gave me meds and a shot of rocephin just in case. I am still irritated from the inside got test result for HSV2 from swab test POSITIVE I am still waiting for blood results. I don't understand why I have/had symptoms since I slept with ex but only from the inside no sores at all. How can that be. Has this ever happened to anyone? Dr.
10117941 tn?1421474268 Ive never gotten the flu shot but being pregnant my doctor recommended it and I also got the tdap.
Avatar m tn I was treated for gonorrhea and chlamydia within 10 days of exposure with rocefin shot and 2 grams of azithro (at the same time I might add). I was also supposed to use metrozindole vaginal cream (the same night), but used it once and woke up with excruciating pain in esophagus so I discontinued as I didn't have any discharge or signs at that time. Not sure if that is from the "overdose" of antibiotics within 24 hours or the fact that I drank alcohol with it. Anyway . . .
Avatar m tn when you take the flu shot, it gives you the flu before it actually works) Also, would my girlfriend need to take suppressive therapy eventhough she tested negative to lower the risk of transmission? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance!!
Avatar f tn I got the flu shot and the whooping cough vaccine. I didn't get them both on the same day though.
Avatar f tn Hello last week i had the flu shot on thursday and just two days ago i been getting pin and needles feeling my toes and hands and also bad back ache and itching i went to my dr and he says it just a bad reaction from the flu shot and i hope he is right im scared and dont want it to be anything serious
Avatar f tn Wow, thanks, yeah people in the medical field think you should take medicine for Everything it seems. Im still opting out, although i am going to get some immune building vitamins.
Avatar f tn my edd is Jan 19 , and it will be flu season. I'm conflicted on getting the flu shot. Does anyone know the pros and cons of the flu shot and If they're getting it ?
Avatar f tn I haven't had my flu shot for over three years. My immune system is amazing. I literally never get sick. Probably because it built up so well when I got sick a lot as a child. My parents were not super protective over me playing in dirt or other things. I haven't had the flu, a cold, or anything else in years. A few years ago when I DID get my flu shot, I got sick for like two weeks immediately afterwards. Puking, fever, everything.
Avatar f tn My last dr was an @$$ and had basically forced me to set an appt for the flu shot. My entire life i havemt gotten the flu shot, and YET i havemt got the flu. I plan on canceling the appt. Im very healthy with a very good immume system. Am i just wrong?
Avatar n tn The flu shot does not cause the flu. If you get the flu after getting the shot you either had the flu before the shot, it wasn't in your system good when you got it, or you caught a strain they didn't make a vaccine for. I would rather get the shot and know I am trying to prevent myself from getting sick and giving it to my baby. The flu is deadly for infants. It's just like the whooping cough shot. Both are very important.
Avatar f tn Im a ftm and my dr is recommending a flu shot but i keep hearing and reading all these bad things about it and now im wondering if it is even worth getting one. Has any of you got it and if so does it really help so you dont get sick?
Avatar f tn I didn't. No flu yet. I've been around the flu, and I've been around toddlers, but I've never gotten the flu before and didn't want to get the shot if I felt it was unnecessary.
Avatar f tn I did not want to get the flu shot. I never ever get the flu (knock on wood) and I'm scared that if I do, I will get sick. My Dr is addoment about getting it. I'm 10.5 weeks and was going to wait until I'm in my 2nd trimester. What are your thoughts??
Avatar f tn I've had both. And I'm fine. Flu shot hurt more than the tdap shot.
Avatar f tn I had the flu shot before and for the first time in my life i got the flu a week later, it was horrible. Thank god i wasnt prego but i do not believe in flu shots after that. And everyone i know who had the shot got the flu soon after.
Avatar f tn I haven't had a flu shot since h.s. (over 10 years ago) and reluctant to get one while pregnant. I just havent cared to get one and have never gotten seriously sick. Any words of wisdom? And what other shots would I need before the birth? I appreciate it!
5770739 tn?1382315166 The flu shot is for respiratory flu, not for the stomach flu. A girl I knew got the flu toward the end of her pregnancy and it turned into pneumonia and she had to have an emergency c section at like 30 weeks and she ended up passing away from it never having been able to hold her baby because they had to put her in a medical induced coma. That being said, I have gotten a flu shot with every pregnancy and every year to protect my little ones with weak immune systems.
Avatar f tn This is my 4th child and I never got the flu shot and when they asked me last week I said no...Only my oldest 2 get the flu shot and thats because they have asthma and there Dr. Recommended they get it for that reason and every time they get sick from it but my youngest son is 3 and he has never had the shot and he is fine. unless this baby has asthma he won't be getting the shot either.
1117137 tn?1345227905 I went to the OB today and he gave me the flu shot there. He said it was soooo important because idont want to get sick and have it affect the baby.
3053649 tn?1356365017 I didn't do it. The flu shot in Australia only stops three flu strains and there are hundreds. So I didn't see a point. Plus my cousin had it and then miscarried and even though the doc says it didn't cause it, it plays on her mind and made me think I don't really need it.
9187090 tn?1406264221 I didn't get the flu shot. And when you get the flu shot you CAN get sick from it since they are injecting the virus into your system. I got the tdap shot and did the gestantional diabetes teat and that's it. I declined everything else.
Avatar f tn I had the flu shot when pregnant. It's safe unless you're allergic to eggs, and it was a wonderful, invulnerable feeling to be out at the grocery store during flu season and be around coughing, hacking people and know I couldn't get the flu.
Avatar f tn getting your shot helps protect you and others. Especially little ones who aren't old enough to get their shots yet. It's good that hospitals are now making it a requirement. It doesn't make sense that someone in the medical profession would even be allowed to turn it down when dealing with so many people every day.
Avatar f tn Im a ftm and duen in Dec. I was told to get the flu shot. I normally dont get it and do fine without. I wanted to know some opinions or experiences on getting the shot.
Avatar f tn Thank you all for your post. I've taken the flu shot once before when I wasn't pregnant and I got the flu several weeks later. I haven't gotten the shot since and haven't had the flu since. I'm sure it's just coincidence but it makes me nervous.
