Sorry to bring back memories Matt :D. Just feels like every bone in my body is aching at the moment, and like I say I cannot even remember the last time I had a cold. It is usualy around the 3 month time after giving up smoking that some people start to suffer a bit with colds and that anyway. Oh well another night getting kicked and thumped to hell :'(:'( It`s the wife, she has been reading too much about these bloody venemous spiders on farcebook Matt, and starts to have nightmares about them :lol:

Oh dear :( not good....the getting kicked and thumped bit.....no bad memories mate so nothing to bring back, well there was one bad bit :'( but it has nothing to do with the jab so I wouldn't worry too much :lol:
 
I have to have those Jabs and i hate them always bad after them.. wondering if i should bother this year? but then if i don't ???

Hope both of you are doing fine..
 
Funny you mention the flu, I had all the symptoms of flu 2 weeks ago the only thing missing was the runny nose but everything else was there, NHS direct told me it was a bug doing the rounds, I felt like I had done 10 with it........and lost:gag:

Man up!!
 
Remember that whilst a cold can make you feel crap, the flu can kill. The fact that you're feeling a bit crap after the jab is the body's immune system being activated. Mild flu-like symptoms are easier to accept if you know the alternative is hospitalisation if you get the flu.

As you know I am still getting over the flu which lasted 5 weeks. Apparently the strain I caught is not in this years cocktail.

I know it can affect you when you get it but you need to build resistance to the nasty chest infections. Now you have had an MI remember the stents are not a repair but a fix to relieve the blockages, the underlying issues are still extant! Chest infections can be deadly to us heart attack victims as mentioned by others.

As Brash says "man up" and if you do we can go gor coffee and cake !

I think those bugs found out exactly what my blood is made of decided it was not worth staying around for a fight :D Got upstairs last night and just stood there feeling faint and shivering like nobody`s business for a minute or two. Had a crap night sleep due to coughing, but most of the aching joints and feeling lethargic seem to have subsided at the moment. :thumbs:

I know. I think it's a sex change he's had not just a bloody stent put in they way he's been whittering on like some senile old fishwife;)
 
Mods!! Can we make this thread a sicky sticky?
 
Had my 'flu jab earlier in the week. Bloody receptionist hit the wrong button and the nurse saw me as having been done so didn't call me in for ages! No nasty side effects whatsoever.

Rich's flue jab was to keep him vaping rather than smoking...

I started on Flu jabs when I developed Diabetes. Had one bad year then no issues.

Had first bout of flu in living memory early September - 5 weeks yuck.

Know what you mean about receptionists..... ours think they are triage nurses there to block you getting an appointment "My leg is hanging off" Answer "Put a plaster on it"......

**** the flu jab, I stare that sod in the face and let him molest me for the 2 weeks - at the end of the day it means 1 lesss thing that will touch me again. As for those false widows - I bathe in them, nothing worse than a bee sting, scrot rot is far worse :D

Understand your point but for some of us Influenza is a killer.

My heart attack came out of full pneumonia which caused the sac the heart sits in to flood. That damaged my left lung which is irrepairable.

2 years later fluid on my chest caused another heart attack.

While I was in hospital 2 other patients died from flu related stress on the lungs causing heart failure.

Prevention is best course for some.

Don't worry Steve it wasn't meant in a negative way. I can understand how you must've felt at the time and the ongoing problems etc. I was just told to never touch the flu jab (mother in law is a G.P and swears never to touch it)
Other half is now 6 months pregnant and keeps receiving the leaflet and letter to get it done but she does not want to due to the info we received etc :)
 
Your MiL just wants you out of the way!!!

Like Steve, I get my jab because of a Diabetes diagnosis - hopefully this was the last one since the diagnosis is under review (my last HbA1c results came back as "Normal, no further action") so I may not get the calls in future.

Last time I had real (rather than the invariably fatal and highly contagious Man variety!) 'flu was over the millennium celebrations. Who needed booze etc to go through that in a haze when you've got real 'flu? Time before that was over the '69 moon landings - not fun at age 6 tripping my tits off due to the fever! Especially with men with balloon heads leaping about on a different planet.

It is times like this when you two make me feel so much better :thumbs:
 
Nod, your HbA1c might return to normal but if you were ever formally diagnosed with diabetes, please continue the regular diabetic checks such as retinal scans.

Kind words

Pre diabetes and MI there was no way I would touch it but age and circumstance makes revovery longer and potentiall more difficult. My recent bout of rent flu strain is not covered in this year's jab!

Pregnant women have to be so careful. A long time back Thalidomide was toutex as an anti- morning sockness drug but it caused so much fetal damage.

These days it has proved useful for many other conditions

Absolutely!!!

I am doing so! Next Diabetes screen is next week and I get my eyes done whenever the clinic calls me. I have ocular hypertension as a bonus so get that done regularly too.

My GP's pretty certain that the Diabetes symptoms were being caused by last year's brain tumour and that the raised blood sugars back then were down to me trying to boost energy levels with overdoses of sugary crap! (One of the side effects/symptoms of the sort of tumour and where it was was rather poor decision making...) Since last September, he's been tracking the HbA1c and it's shown me as not even pre-diabetic, so here's hoping. Been Metformin (and symptom) free since January but not tested since March. Been much more sensible (well, much less stupid!) with diet and am now capable of exercise so it'll be interesting to see how my new lifestyle is treating the old pancreas!
