Re: Ever had a bad reaction to the flu shot?

[Guest guest]

I'd be more likely to suspect the Hep B shot. My wife had a similar reaction to her Hep B vaccination, along with significant joint pain. (I had no problems with it (I'm the one with PSC).

My husband had his flu shot as well as the first round of his Hep B shot yesterday as was

recommended by the dr we saw at IU. He was perfectly fine until almost 9 last night. His

fever went from 99.4 to 103 in about an hour and a half...

It may have been because he got them at the same time. Might have been

a bit much for his immune system to get them both at the same time.

He said early today that his side has been hurting for about 3-4 days which

makes me think

possible bile duct infection again. Do you think the fever after the shots could

be related?

Just curious?

[Guest guest]

Hi! I had my flu shot a few days ago. I'm not sure if it's related, but a few

hours after the flu shot, I had tremendous aching of my joints (more than usual)

and started getting a headache that kept increasing into a full-blown migraine

and hung in there despite my migraine medication. I ended up running a fever

later that night which broke after some Tylenol. It took about two days and

twenty straight hours of sleep before I started to feel better. I've had the

flu shot in the past (pre PSC diagnosis) and never had a reaction, but I'm not

sure if the reaction this time was coincidence, fluke or something else all

together.

I'm having my flu shot on Tuesday and planned on having my daughter get hers

then as well.

We both have asthma so we are encouraged to get them every year. Man, I sure

hope neither

of us have a reaction. I don't have time to not feel well. I've gotta take care

of every body else!

[Guest guest]

I get my flu shot every year and have never had a problem with it. I

have had the Hep B series twice and although I did not build

antibodies like I was supposed, I only experienced a reaction once

out of the six injections and I believe that reaction, which was a

seriously painful bruise was because I tensed up for the shot.

Some people due develop mild flu like symptoms from getting the shot,

my daughter does. Each year she spend a day or two after the shot

feeling run down, I think that's why she refuses to get the shot now

that she is old enough to make that call for herself.
