Damn flu shots

I know they say you can't get the flu from the flu shot. It's a dead virus and I get it. What I don't get is the people I know that get sick almost every single time they get one(including my mom) and why my husband was fine when he got his shot yesterday at 2 in the afternoon and then woke me at 3:30 am with a fever. We have Livvy's final soccer game and ice cream party today and her big cheerleading competition tomorrow and Tim is TICKED about this fever. Olivia got her flu shot a week ago and had a large hard swelling in her arm. Her arm was really sore for several days. I think next year, we'll just move to Tahiti for the cold and flu season.

My 18 yr. Old son got flu shot Tuesday. He has had a fever for two days now. They tested him for steep_its negative. Gave him antibiotic anyway. I hope I don't get it. That's the last thing I need. I suspect he might have the flu! May sunshine on both of our days and these "bugs" leave soon!

Whoops I meant strep.

Every single time I've gotten a flu shot, I get some kind of temperature and flu-like symptoms for several days. For the past three years I decided to keep Oscillo on hand and forgo the flu shots. Guess what? I've been flu-free for three years!

I also take the Reishi mushroom extract daily along with curcumin, so something must be working.
