Flu jab reactions or corona?

[TopCat]

Had the flu vaccine on Friday. Yesterday went from feeling fine to lying on bed groaning with 38c plus temp. Ordered a Corona test but am hoping for it to be just a reaction to the flu jab. I feel fatigued today but no fever.

More likely a reaction to the flu jab I would think. You'll probably feel better by the time the test kit arrives.

Had my flu jab last Saturday and instead of mild "coming up on a pill" feelings, as previous years, have had no side effects whatsoever

Yeah, what SpookyFrank said.

On rare occasions my mother has had a similiar reaction to the flu jab, normally clears up in 24-48 hours.

nothing here either

I had no reaction at all but a couple of people I know said they felt pants for a couple of days after. Worth getting a test anyway I guess. Hope it’s negative.

Almost certainly a reaction to the flu vaccine, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. It should pass within a couple of days.

Flue vaccine reactions are rare, and any 'coming up on a pill' type thing are possibly psychological or a coincidence. Some interesting reading here.

Yes, I'm disappointed I don't get that now I've learned of it as a possibility

Maybe High Voltage routinely takes E before every vaccination?

I'm really fatigued. No fever today though.

The nhs test is coming via Amazon tomorrow.

I suppose it's a matter of principle for them to use tax avoiders wherever possible.

No flu jab reaction here either

I had the flu jab at work a few weeks ago, came home feeling fine and then slept for 17 hours and woke up feeling ghastly. Only lasted 24hrs and then the 'flu arm' hurt for a bit longer.

I have no flu arm or anything like it.
Was really ill last night. Getting the flu jab required public transport. Ironic if I got covid on the way.

I sincerely hope you haven't. Remember if you don't sneeze and gag you've done the test wrong

Thanks me ol' chum.

I had the flu jab this year with no reaction at all. But last year had the flu jab and pneumonia jab. Bad reaction, temperature, shivering, painful arms (one jab in each). Didn't last long, though. Shivering stopped next day, arms stopped hurting next couple of days.

I am eating and have a desire for beer. Tricky one this with being so wretched yesterday. Gf may try something wild like raising her voice and snatching at my Old Peculier.

Mine didn't come via Amazon, just Royal Mail.

Both covid and mild flu have so many symptoms that it's really hard to tell. Hope you get your result quickly.
