I’m wondering if anyone is experiencing overwhelming exhaustion ( more than usual level) after this years over 65 flu jab? I had it 2 weeks ago.

Admittedly I wasn’t feeling great when i had the jab, a crash, but didn’t want to not have it early ( have a chronic lung condition). I feel worse than ever though and am abit scared that the added adjuvant has worsened my ME/ CFS and will I improve??

The flu jabs dead arm,feeling like you have a cold is normal for anyone.

We feel like it is worse for us because that's how it makes us feel, its temporary or should be. If any longer than 3 weeks you should ask for medical advice.

Not what you're looking for?
