Who got their FLU SHOT?

Bracken_Joy · October 23, 2020, 2:09pm

FWIW my husband and I have both sometimes felt bad from flu shots, and neither of us did this year. Also, the baby had no fussiness after her two flu shots but does with some of her vaccines. So I dunno if this years isn’t as bad for that? Holding out hope for you, either way! And yay well done!

We are here and sending hugs to you! You’ve already done the hardest part, tbh. You got this.

The flu shot is mostly smaller and takes less time to get than other vaccines I’ve gotten. I’m usually presently surprised that it’s already over. And this year my arm barely hurt for 24 hours and I had no other reaction.

You got this. Also you are being brave! Go you.

We all got shot today, then came home and made this.

Done! I also bought a donut (and a free coffee) on the way home as a reward to myself.

Omg I get mine tomorrow afternoon & I’m honestly freaking out

You’ve got this, JJ!

JanetJackson · October 27, 2020, 1:21am

Thanks. It’s not the needle at all, it’s my fear of a reaction

rural · October 27, 2020, 1:32am

It’ll be fine. I react every time, and it’s still fine, and I’m an edge case. The injection site might be a bit sore, especially when poked, so don’t poke it. (My reaction is I feel kind of cruddy for a few days and then I’m fine.)

I am thinking many good thoughts for you.

JanetJackson · October 27, 2020, 6:48pm

Thx y’all!
My appointment is in one hour.
I’ve eaten, had extra water, have plans for delivery for dinner, and have a light work schedule tomorrow.

Maybe pack a snack like a candy bar or a granola bar
But you’ve got this!

diapasoun · October 27, 2020, 7:41pm

You got this JJ!!!

darlingpants · October 27, 2020, 7:50pm

Wohoooo it’s so exciting that you’re doing the hard thing!

Panda · October 27, 2020, 9:42pm

Celebratory potats for everyone doing the thing:

I hope it went well and that you’re at home on the couch now

And enjoying some delivery (er, maybe without cat hair)

Greyweld · October 27, 2020, 10:35pm

OMG THEY ARE SO ROUND

I thought they were guinea pigs at first.

JanetJackson · October 27, 2020, 10:47pm

Thank you. I did it!!
I used my gift card to get cat food and I’m mostly vegging out now trying HARD not to do chores.
I feel achy. That’s it so far.
