Flu shots

Are useless. I got my first flu shot in October, and I'm now on round 2 of the same disgusting flu I had over Christmas. I'm a little bit pissed, annoyed that I had to use PTO during the first week of the year.

No real point, just whining because I'm tired and sick of puking. And my ribs hurt.

Oh, FFS.

Re: Flu shots

  • I'm sorry you feel so lousy, stomach bug is the worst. Unfortunately the flu shot doesn't work for those since a stomach bug isn't really a flu. The shot is for the influenza virus that gives you the cold/fever/a truck ran me over type symptoms (much worse than common cold). GI bugs are something else. So if you haven't gotten the former at least maybe the shot is workig :) Try some Pediasure when you can hold fluids down and feel better!

  • oh boo, big fat boo. I am so sorry you feel like crud. Don't forget to stay hydrated (water or gatorade!) and I hope it runs its course soon.

    If anything chicken broth and very plain bread/crackers should at least keep something in your stomach. That sounds miserable. Left Hug

    Also, when I had morning sickness really bad in the beginning of my pg my ribs/diaphragm etc. hurt too. Some vick's vapor rub or peppermint oil after a hot shower helps if you can take the smell. Good luck.
