I did feel sick for about 10 minutes after taking it. I aired the water in the microwave as our filtered water is in the fridge and I don't do really cold water.

Not only did I have the flu and covid jabs, I then went for a 2 and a quarter hour walk (out of necessity). No ill effects so far.

When I had the flu jab and covid booster both together last year, they asked me if I wanted one injection in each arm. However I opted to have them both in my left arm as I’m right handed.
I’ve had all the covid jabs and boosters and the flu jabs and, so far, I’ve never had a reaction to any of them, barring a slightly sore arm on the evening of the day that I had them. I hope that’s the same for me next Saturday.

We walked both ways about 40 minutes in total. Lovely day and a pleasant walk. Arm is sore atm.

I am always fine until the next day. Then the tiredness and aches start.
Did go out this morning and was fine once I got out and about. Now both arms have small lumps and the right side where the injection site feels warm.

Falling and having a long lasting injury is all too easy these days.I tend to walk around scanning the ground.I saw someone who had taken a tumble surrounded by people tending to them probably ringing for an ambulance in my local high street just the other day.Not surprising with the state of the pavements they are a real hazard.

I was given a date for my Flu jab but am going away days later so have booked with Boots for when I return.I was not going to take the risk I might have a reaction, the man in Boots said it is 4 times stronger than previous.Don’t know if that is accurate!?

This year's flu is going to be a really bad strain. They go by Australia and what happens over there each year, as their winter is our summer. I always laugh when people comment in newspaper etc, "oh, it is only the flu." Flu over the years has killed more people than the Black Death or even WWI and WWII. COVID which is really a form of the flu, look how many it killed in the UK.
I used to work in payroll for a large mail order company.
My manager and I renamed the building Lourdes as the number of people taking a day off with "flu" and returning fully restored the next day was amazing.
I had flu in my early 30's and was unable to do anything bar going to the loo for 4 days. My mum came over after 5 days as I wanted a bath. In hind site a shower would have been better as I couldn't get out of the bath and had to go straight back to bed. I think it took nearly a fortnight to feel 100% again.

I had flu when on board a Royal Navy ship as a civilian "boffin", somewhere near Gibraltar.
I was in my bunk for days, then I HAD to get up to take part in a disaster exercise, with all the very realistic injuries made by makeup.
All I had the energy to do was sit on the floor in a corridor (so I could be counted) and I found myself wishing that it was a REAL disaster so thet the ship would sink and put me out of my misery.
Obviously, I didn't really want this to happen, but I did think it, such was the misery of proper flu. (diagnosed by the ship's doctor, and it was spreading around the ship).
