It's Official# My arm is sore

[tiny dancer]

from my yearly flu shot. If I don't get one every year I get deathly ill.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

Ouch--I hate when arms are sore after shots.

I've never had a flu shot though...

 

[zoney!]

Question: If you are adruggie..do your arms just get used to the soreness? I mean, do they jsut stop getting sore?

Answer me you damn addicts!!!!

i've never had a flu shot (except maybe when i was a kid), i rarely get sick. i haven't had the flu in years.

i say that, with a scrachy feeling in my throat

Well getting a shot is different from injecting drugs I think. Drugs are injected into the vein whereas shots are not, just like getting blood drawn does not hurt as much as a shot afterwards.

plus if you're high you probably don't notice the pain anyways

 

[Amigone]

Flu shots are awesome!

 

[ILuvLarryMullen]

I hate shots, I'd rather get the flu !

Shots on a Friday night are fun though!

 

[Angela Harlem]

shooters are even better.

 

[Laura M]

I thought shooters were a shot??

 

[JessicaAnn]

I got my flu shot on Monday

I don't know what the nurse did, but I bled a lot.

I have a lovely yellow bruise on my arm

 

[Angela Harlem]

shooters are double shots here.

incase a shot isn't enough of a kick

 

[Laura M]

hmmm

Whenever I go out and some places do a fancy drinks menu and it says shooters but they are just shots

choc Pops mmmmmmm baileys

 

[verte76]

I hate shots. But I also do not have time to catch the flu. So I'd better get one.

 

[bammo2]

Lara's right - you have to have chronic illnesses or be old to get flu shots over here.

I get one because I'm a chronic asthmatic. Before I started getting the flu shot I used to be in hospital with my asthma at least 8 times a year. One time my peak flow dropped to 50 as a result of having flu.

Now I get the flu jab I've not been in hosptial since 1994 *touch wood*

 

[Salome]

I don't get a flu shot

haven't had a fever since 1982
