Hit by the flu this week.

[gbpacker66]

Drank about half a bottle of Nyquil this week, slept about 20 hours last night, boy does that ever make a difference. Amazing what a little rest can do for a sick body. The big drawback is, I don't think I am ready for a cigar yet. Probably going to be a couple more days.:disappoin:disappoin

Last time I got a flu shot, I got sick 2 days later and was out for a week.

+1!! I haven't had a flu shot the last two years and got it bad this year after 5+ years of getting flu shots. Never got sick because of the flu shot.

Me too... I just took a 6 hour nap and could go back to sleep again.

It takes your body about 2 weeks to build up antibodies to the flu shot. Contrary to popular belief the flu shot can't give you the flu (though it can make you sick for a night) So, it sounds like you had really bad luck. Next season...I would suggest getting the flu shot mid November...because it really sucks to get the flu. I wish you a speedy recovery. eace:

I work in the health field...and got the flu 3 years in a row before I would take a flu shot. (Yes, I'm that stubborn...lol). Now, that I take my own advice I have done very well. I get it every year now.

I also have heard that you cant get sick from the Flu shot. I work on a Ambulance as alot of you know and I have been Flu free for 3 yrs now thanks to that little shot. I used to get it twice a season before. And I have people vomiting everywhere in back of a 6x10 box.

 

[Chompers]

Never had the flu and I will not get a shot until I do. Even then I will probly wait until I get it the flu again..lol

I appreciate this info. Is it too late in the season to get one now?

 

[Hardcore]

Everyone around me has had the flu. My girlfriend is just getting over in now. I've yet to get it myself this year & I hope & pray that I don't!

 

[Moro]

I had a horrid one a month ago, or so. Lasted 3 weeks...

No - especially if you haven't been sick yet this season.

gbpacker66 - don't jump back into your regular routine at the first sign of feeling better. The bug this year is a nasty fella that seem to relapse on you. Both my wife and I thought we were over it when it came back with a vengeance for round 2.

No...it's not too late. But, keep in mind it can take up to two weeks to build immunity...so it would protect you during the worst month which tends to be Feb.
