Well you cannot get the flu from the flu shot itself because they give you a dead flu but it is possible to still get the flu after you've gotten the shot. It will not be nearly as bad as if you didn't get the shot. If you think you are having flu symptoms, call your doctor or get checked out because it can still be serious even after the flu shot and they need to treat it.
You can't catch the flu from getting the flu shot. That's not how it works.
Prior to my successful ablation 18 months ago, I had a reaction to a flu shot from which I developed flu like symptoms eight hours following the innoculation. This included flu like symptoms, chest pains, shortness of breath, a-fib, and two trips to the emergency room in three days. Heart attack was ruled out. I believe the flu shot reaction triggered these episodes, but the doctors I have talked to seem unsure that this could have caused the problem.
The flu shot isn't as strong this year. We found that out after we got ours.
Anyway the first 6 days of tx went great. I had no sx at all. Then a few days ago I started getting sever stomach pains that come and go. Then on top of it I had my second shot two days ago and that made me feel like I got hit by a bus. I started feeling better today but than I ate and took my incivek. I got the sever stomach pains again and threw up my food and meds. Is this normal?
Since fall is here already is it safe to get flu shot? I'm in my second trimester. I'm already in pain with the baby growing in me and I don't think I can handle back pains swollen ankles stretching of the abdomen and everything like that on top flu!! I don't think so.
Good info.
The term stomach "flu" is actually erroneous (that's not a dig at you, everyone uses that). Almost all stomach "flus" are viral in nature, and have nothing to do with influenza. Unless someone is diagnosed with actual influenza, they don't have a "flu". That's one of those terms that has just grown over the years.
Handwashing is THE most effective way to stop the spread of communicable diseases and infections.
Common viruses that cause cold flu or stomach flu can cause nausea and headache. There may be other associated signs like runny nose, diarrhea, fever, body aches which may be suggestive of a viral illness. Migraine can cause nausea, severe headache and there may be extreme sensitivity to light. Nausea, severe headache with neck stiffness can be suggestive of meningitis. Acid reflux disease can also cause headache, nausea and abdominal discomfort.
6 days ago I got a fever and felt like I had the flu or a bad cold.
The following day it got worse and I also had mild stomach aches. I saw my GP who said to rest as it was probably a viral inflection.
Since then the abdominal pain has got worse, but the flu symptoms have gone away. I had diarrhoea on one day but my bowel movements seem to be back to normal now, although it does feel hard to pass gas and I do need to strain to pass a bowel movement.
I haven't got my flu shot bc I'm worried about the risks even though I know the benefits out weigh the risks.. I'm still worried.. Any moms out there have the flu shot?
