Dumb white girl learns valuable lesson on why you should get a flu vaccine
Posted by Kym under Health & Wellness
Oh my God. Im in hell. Hell I tell you. And it’s spelled FLU. My temp was 102 WITH tylenol and motrin on board. HELLO. That should have dropped it below a hundred! The hours from 3pm to 8pm are just hellacious. Chills, sweats, burning in my chest, coughing, can’t catch my breath, can’t sleep, I swear time stands still…. sore throat, tummy ache… Im not supposed to have motrin but I’ve decided it doesn’t matter if a dead person has gastric bleeding.
Seriously. I’ve honestly thought I might die. Or maybe that was just hope. My temp actually got up to 105 at one point.
I have vague recollections of having the flu this bad when I was pregnant with Emma. However, I was throwing up that time so I guess that would win out because at least so far… I dont have the pukes. I dont have much of an appetite either…. which again is highly unusual.
When I walk up the stairs… my lungs BURN people. Like I have smoke inhalation.
I’ve not gotten flu shots because since Im no longer diabetic and the shots tend to make me feel crappy… I figured I’d take my chances. NOT NEXT YEAR! I will be getting a flu shot next year!
