My arm swelled up like a balloon. It was hot, red , itchy and I couldn't move it at all. I had to hold my arm with my other hand. I was in so much pain that I couldn't think straight. I stayed home for a week. I remember sitting on my sofa and crying becauase of the pain. I finally went back to the doctor and I was told I could have an allergy to eggs or chickens. I eat eggs and sometimes I notice that I get a headache but not all the time. I vowed that I would never ever get a flu shot again. I had an allergic reaction years ago.

AS a teacher I was signed up and signed the form. Got the shot on Friday. By 5pm the site had a 1 inch red welt. By Saturday it was 5 inches long and raised an inch and I ran a fever of over 102. Ice packs and benadryl. It didn;t completely subside for two weeks. arm was sore for a year. Now swine flu......not getting shot thatnk God not required too. Rather get flu then go through that again. I had had two flu shots before. AS a teacher I was signed up and signed the form.
