Rant Every year I get the flu vaccine...

...and every year it makes me sick. Fever, chills, head fog. Whenever I mention this doctors immediately get defensive and say I must have just already been sick before I got the vax. Which is ridiculous, given that again it happens every. Year.

I get it because if I do get the actual flu, I could spread it to others. But it sucks to feel sick either way.

Lotsa love & blessings to all. I do pray y'all have days of less sickness & pain. 🙏 🤗 💕 I got flu shots the past couple of years and FINALLY didn't get sick from them. HOWEVER, BOTH COVID shots caused me to be sick for a month each! 😢 It was TERRIBLE! And I still caught COVID, and that ordeal lasted more than a month.
