Has anyone had trouble with it? I got one yesterday and I have a red inflamed bump and I've been sick all day. I woke up with a horrible headache, nausea, blurred vision and dizziness. I also started a new drug yesterday and I'm trying to figure out which is causing the issues. I'm skipping the new drug tonight to try to narrow it down.
I didn't have anything like that. I had a mild allergic reaction to something about twenty minutes later, but I'm fine with eggs, and have never had issues with vaccinations, so we're almost positive it was a coincidence.
Have you asked your pharmacist if those are side effects of the drug?
H got his and felt like crap the next day. However, both our kids are also getting over some nasty cough/bug, so who knows if it was the shot, what they have, or a combo of his body dealing with both.

I looked it up last night. All of the symptoms cross over between the drug and the flu shot.

Did you talk to your dr or pharmacist? Stopping prescription drugs without consulting your dr is generally a bad idea.
And looking things up isn't the same as consulting a professional. At all.
I haven't talked to anyone yet. I was out of bed for an hour between midnight last night and 6 pm today. Again, it's an as needed drug for sleep so skipping it isn't really a big deal. If I still feel this way tomorrow I'll definitely be making some phone calls.
I usually feel crappy for a day or so, even if people tell me that it's not the flu shot that's causing it. I've been getting the nasal spray lately and it's the same deal.

DH has his usual knot on her arm and it is sore. He had a headache the same day, but that started before the shot.
I don't have mine yet. I'm not 100% sure if I'm getting one this year. (I was scheduled to get it the 18th, but things have changed. Medical reasons, not for lack of wanting one)
I got mine Wednesday and my arm still hurts like a bitch and only today am I really feeling like shit. I woke up super sick, achy everywhere and just "sick", can't really describe it, zero energy, headache, no nausea or anything though thank goodness
I got mine yesterday and feel fine besides my arm being a little sore. Jax was fine as well except he had a nasty bruise which of course wasn't from the flu shot itself.
I got mine and the tdap shot on Monday and my arm hurt until Wednesday, but that was pretty much it. I do seem to be in cold limbo right now - I've had a sore throat since Wednesday, and now my nose is running; otherwise I feel fine - but we had my nephew over on Sunday and my SIL didn't know if he had a cold or allergies, so I'm suspecting I picked something up from him.
The injection site looks uglier today but I feel better than yesterday. I'll try the sleeping pill again tonight and see what tomorrow holds.
Mine looks a bit like that and I'm sick feeling too so we may have just had a reaction
Last time I got the flu shot was when I was preg with the twins (4 years ago) and it was h1n1 season too so I got both shots and felt no symptoms whatsoever aside from the sore muscles. I was surprised to find myself sick feeling this time since it was only one shot vs two
I even relaxed the muscle like she said to in order to reduce muscle pain
