I've had flu shots for years but this year this one made me really sick. Major flare up of fibro. Muscles so sore I could hardly walk. I was down for several days. I think this particular strain didn't agree with me. I had the pnuemo-cal vaccine & didn't bother me at all. I am 70 yrs. old better be safe than sorry though.

I've only gotten the flu shot once and I became horribly ill. It was one of the worse bouts of the flu I've ever had. The doctor said I was probably all ready infected when I receive my shot.
I haven't been brave enough to try again and find out.
