flujabsideeffects

[flujabsuffer]

3 years ago I had a flujab. It took 9 months for me to get rid of aches and pains in joints,feeling weak some days and strong the next, paracetomol; was the only cure for thr flujab side effects. Following year no flujab, fit all year. November2008 flujab, have felct weak and aches and pains ever since.Going back to see the Doc today, in the past all I get is the political line stock answer which is rubbish. People should know about this as I know people who suffer the same as me.

My grandmother and I both had the flu jab at the end of last year and both suffered similar symptoms the ones you describe thankfully my grandma's symptoms only lasted 7-10 days, and mine only lasted a couple of days. Could just be a coincidence but we were both told that there were no side effects.

I hope you get some help. If you're convinced it was the jab don't have it again! Even with the jab you may still get flu but if you do it won't last for 9 months.

the virus in inactive in the flu jab. any symptoms are due to sensitivity to components of the vaccine and should go within 48 hours.
my sister was having chemotherapy and it was still ok for her to have the jab for the above reasons even though her immune system was very poor. she suffered no side effects from the jab.
it's not a political stock answer, it's the facts.

whoops. 'is' inactive.

ethandron is right. There is no active flu in the vaccine so you cannot get the flu from it.
Any side effects should last only two or three days.
What I don't understand is that if you are so convinced the jab made you poorly for so long, why you had it again.
I am convinced that your symptoms are coincidental to the flu jab and not because of it.
