H1N1 Vaccinated
During a routine Doctor visit, I was asked if I would like the H1N1 vaccine and shots for Hep A & B. Hummm... well... I am sexually active AND Heauxmeaux...
I asked my Doctor the following questions:
Will it hurt? (I hate needles!)The Doctor laughed hysterically. I felt like a child for asking. He said, "I promise that you won't feel a thing. You won't feel bad afterwards." Mmmhmmm... and how much are you getting paid by Big Pharma to inject me?
Will I get sick afterwards?
Against my better judgement, I decided to be a good Heauxmeaux and get the shots. With each jab of a needle, a tear would sprout in my eyes. I felt like I was back in grade school... "Owww... it hurts! Sniff. Sniff." The Doctor smiled at me for being a pussy.
Well, no later than thirty seconds after the last injection, my body temperature rose dramatically. I began sweating like a pig. I felt light headed. The Doctor shrieked, "YOU ARE SWEATING!" I promptly discarded my sweater, leaving on only my sweaty t-shirt. The Doctor quickly patted my head with paper towels.
As my life was flashing before my eyes, the Doctor nervously urged me to lay down. GULP! Would I be yet another child to die from the H1N1 vaccine? No more Jiggy Dances?
I wished CRUEL things on a certain blogger (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE). Here I had been made to me feel like a dumb redneck for refusing to get vaccinated, now I am gonna die. It's your fault motherfucker!!!
After five minutes, my body shook uncontrollably. I had chills. I swiftly put back on my sweater. I am gonna die... I am gonna die... and it's all that dickwad's fault!
After ten minutes, I managed to escape my near death experience. I stood upright, drove home, and whined to my furry rugrats about the terrible experience. I felt shitty all last night. Yes, I am still wishing cruel things on that unnamed blogger.
But at least I am now vaccinated...

Sweating like a PIG! I like that. And I SO wanted to be like my little hunkier bro BC, so I too got the H1N1 yesterday. Only I didn't sweat.
I received the H1N1 in the fall. I didn't cry. But I did get a lollipop afterwards!! It was a big one, too!
hope you feel better.
I had a similar reaction to a novacaine injection. The nurses were visibly shocked by my body's reaction. It scared me, too.
You will need to check with your doctor again. Hepatitis A takes a series of 2 shots and Hepatitis B takes 3 shots.
Sounds like a panic attack...
If you still don't feel well, get to the doc ASAP. If you feel desperately ill, get to an E.R.
Hope you feel better ;-)
Huggggs!
Hi Brett,
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I got the H1N1 and didn't have any reactions. I got a SpongeBob sticker. I have friends who said they felt like crap for a day or too afterwards. Keep up with the HEP vaccines.
One tiny hint, don't watch them inject you, and let your arm completely relax.
Did you see the white light as you were lying there on the table?
Terrible way to enter heaven...in a t-shirt... what will the locals think...you know how the apostles talk.
Glad you made it back...next time wear something with a collar.
Okay... When I got to the part where you took off your shirt I thought it was going to end differently than it did. Kind of disappointed.
oh my - why do i have a feeling you just called me a bunch of names???
I'm glad you got it - we all need it. It's not hype.
And yes, the prick barely hurts (how often do you hear THAT one?). And yes, anyone who has something go into their body (the needle) can cause a reaction like you had. It is a foreign object.
But it was NOT the serum that made you feel bad.
Someone should have kissed your boo-boo to make you feel better.
I'll volunteer.
You could have had an adverse reaction to the shot. Are you still feeling ill? Go back to your doctor, if you are. As others have posted, it could be nerves.
Wow, reading that was a scary experience. I came out in a sweat! - but, thankfully, no other reactions. So after what you went through I'm counting my blessings.
It could have been a psychosomatic reaction. You were sort of already thinking it was going to hurt and you might get sick... so your body may have made that happen for you.
ALL vaccines have mercury in them and are POISON. find out the facts before you inject anything again, brother meaux ! novacaine is posion, too guys ! b.t.w. amalgam silver fillings have the 50 % mercury AND watch out for many fresh fish and sushi, too
After some bad experiences getting shots, I too am scared to death of needles. One time I got so upset, they thought I was having a heart attack.
Now I take Valium beforehand and shots don't bother me at all. Remember that Valium dosage varies in direct proportion to your body size. I know, I know, we're not supposed to drive while on anything, but in reality you have to make the decision if you are able to drive.
Regarding flu shots: There's a reason older people didn't need one (we acquired immunity by not taking a vaccine for everything).
Not had H1N! yet, but had hep a&b shots in school. Recently I've been reading up on HPV, and thinnking of getting that just to be super safe from potential cancers (cock/mouth)
Tis good you have been inoculated..
Sounds like someone had a psychosomatic experience with getting some widdle-biddy shots. You can complain when you pass a kidney stone, mmmmmmmmmkay? Pussy. LOL
Self-induced anxiety can also cause sweating, soreness and light-headedness as well. I get a little sweaty and dizzy when I get blood drawn or shots inserted too. I know it's just me being a big baby. But with your insinuations I'm worried you are helping support many long-standing myths about vaccines and injections. (See: Anonymous' comment. Not a surprise that he's anonymous either)
We also ask that you not use imagery of swine when discussing H1N1. They are offended and right now it's very much a People Flu.
