Hi All

 

I had my piggy jab done a couple of days ago and, apart from a sore arm, I feel fine. Hopefully this will help. I wouldn't say to people that they have to get it. It's a personal choice and it's has to be something that they are comfortable with. I can only go by my own experiences.

 

Hope everyone is keeping well.

This year I have had swine flu, normal flu and pneumonia (jabs that is) in the last month or so.

 

I was fine but we're all different.

Hi lovely people

 

I have not been feeling the best over the last few days - shivery and a sore throat... otherwise i am really well..In a bit of a tizz as i am due to have my piggy jab on wednesday- do you think it might be a good idea to wait another week or so... I also feel i might need antibiotics as my right ear is very sore inside on and off...

i spoke with my doctor she said to still come over to the surgery on wednesday and she will check thoat etc... and decide if to go ahead then... but a this moment i would prefer to feel better before i have jab ... any advice would be greatly appreciated..

 

Love Lindy Off to bed now Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hmm it's a difficult one - see what your doctor says hon. I suspect it is better for you not to be as well as possible :bestwishes:

I asked my GP last week what was happening regarding swine flu jabs and whether I would be called in when they get them. He said they don't know but I could just try calling in a weeks time and see if they have an update.

 

Yesterday my wife heard a rumour that they had some in. So I called the surgery again and apparently they are getting some later this week and I should call back.

 

Oh well, back to my cardboard box.

 

Regards,

Hi lindy,

 

I was in the same position last thursday. I had made an appointment to get the swine flu jab (yes! I changed my mind) and low and behold I came down with a cold. I decided not to get the jab, and have now arranged to take the plunge this thursday instead. Like you I wanted to be cold free before I had the jab.

 

Hope your cold clears up soon,and p.s I don't think it will hurt to get a check up on that ear with your g.p.

I think it would be a good idea to be well before having the jab Lindyloo.

I know what you mean about the cardboard box hon. I'm allowed to drive again after the TIA dx. I escaped the bungalow yesterday,and nearlly knocked two people over when on two different occasions they stepped out in front of green lights :hearts_circle: Stupid noobs... By the time I had taken my daughter to chose a christmas tree,and then pick andrew up from work I was totally wiped out emotionally and physically. I was then in bed for 7pm.

 

So, thank god for my cardboard box. I think yesterday I was better off there than out with the mad folk on the roads :wchair:

 

I guess that sometimes our homes can be prisons,and other times a sanctuary.

 

Fingers crossed that you are ok for the 1st.

I had my spine flu jab last Saturday and feel fine, but I have quite a swelling on the injections site, is this normal, does anyone else have the same?

Hi luvvies

 

my ear is a good bit better but my eye is constantly watering now and really itchy...

it seems to be moving about (the bug). :pullhair: . I got some drops for my eye.. nothing to worry about. a bit of a nuicance thats all..

 

It looks like the carboard box is the safe place to be at the moment.. for some of us..

 

Michelle did you get your jab today - maybe not as i know you are not too well .. I am thinking of you hun and i hope your sensational horrid hug is easing off and your wee foot has stopped buzzing.. Try some Prune juice for the constipation..

 

Angela thank u for your get well message.. i hope your arm has settled down a little... Conor got his jab yesterday and says his arm is sore today at the site.. I hear this is one of the most common side effects... but do give your doctor a ring if its still the same...even just for piece of mind.. ((HUGS))

 

I hope the weather is not too bad wherever you are.. :cowboy::boat: keep safe and well :coffee2:

Lindyloo, asking me about the swine flu jab prompted me into action and I asked my Med centre today. I am now on the list and they'll call me when they're doing another batch of people. They have the stuff in - and now a lot of the staff themselves have been jabbed; so now we (patients) can be administered with it.

 

Still a bit iffy if I should be doing it or not. I think I had swine flu itself as it all hit the media in early July. I was hideously ill and it frightened me - so I hope this vaccine will cover the now possible mutated form mainly? I'm a big scaredy cat :cowboy:

At least I have time to think about it as I'm not booked in to go just yet.

I phoned the surgery today to see if they had the jabs in yet. They do.

The receptionist asked if I was in the "at risk" group and then checked my records. When she returned to the phone she said she had just checked her list and I was due to be phoned this afternoon and called in the jab (call me sceptical but I don't believe a word of that). Anyway I am now booked in to be jabbed tomorrow (another day working from home then - yet another positive provided courtesy of MS).

 

Soon I will be able to rent out my cardboard box (it's very comfy) and go freely into the big wide flu infested world.

 

Regards,

:hugs2: Good luck with it John. Let me know any after effects - apart from a sore arm for a bit I gather it's usually pretty ok.

Hope it went ok John.

 

I got home from college at lunch time and found letters of invitation for Ron and I to go along and get ours done. We're all booked in for Monday 30th which is the 1st day of our surgery's programme. My Dad and Ron's dad have both had theirs now with no major after effects.

Hi Sweetie,

 

I didn't get the jab it's next thursday now. I love your spider crawling around :hugs2: Gave me a giggle. My buzzing foot is still with me...I wish it would buzz off. Good news is that I have managed to have a proper poop,since increasing my water intake,and eating dried apricots. I'm so fatigued today, I feel like I'm in another world :lol4: So please forgive me if my writing is a tad disjointed.

 

I hope your funny eye sorts itself out soon honey,and that Conor suffers no side effects from the jab. Something to do with it all...

 

Love M x

Well, I am jabbed. no pain, no sore arm. The doc said I might experience pain in the arm and I may feel fatigued. I said I would try to experience it but it might be hard to spot what with all my usual arm pains and fatigue.

 

The piggy clinic was very crowded and to add to the fun they closed the surgery car park. Their reasoning was that it would be too congested. The congestion would block the car park and road outside. This then blocks access for ambulances. So this crowd of piggy wannabes had to park in the street, on the pavements and on zebra crossings. Madness. It might have helped if they told people that parking would be reduced so people could have arranged a lift rather than needing to park.

 

So nothing to worry about. Jab! Job done.

 

Regards,

 

John :hugs2:

As for the parking situation :hugs2: Parking is always difficult at our surgery but luckily it is only a short walk...or stagger...from our house.

 

Hope you find that cardboard box a good home.

South Wales have now got the first in the world Tamiflu resistant Swine flu. According to BBC news there are 5 patients involved,one in ICU,two sent home, and the others are in isolation. All have underlying health conditions. Poor people.

Having see the Film, I am Legend, I'm now ever so slightly dubious about having certain injections, especially ones that have been knocked-up pretty quick..

 

Our Gordon would love nothing more than to data tag the entire population so that whenever we go somewhere everything is logged and recorded. Or maybe I've seen one-to-many episodes of Spooks...!

Heres a priest with an interesting point of view.

 

http://www.surfingtheapocalypse.net/cgi-bi...cgi?read=232364

 

There has been lots of comment like this since Baxter International shiped a load of contaminated vaccine early this year.

 

http://www.naturalnews.com/025760.html

The priest is stating a personal view but the vaccine contamination story is so far as I am aware factual although of course the interpretation of what it means is again personnel.

    • Yippee, I have had the Vaccine

      I just wanted to say that I am currently having the Ocrevus treatment and am over 50, so I was given the opportunity to have the Covid Vaccine, which I was so pleased to have.   The NHS are amazing for the system they have organised to make this a safe and speedy operation.   As for the vaccine, I have to say that I suffered quite a horrible headache for about 4 days and my body felt like it had been 10 rounds with Mike Tyson, but all said and done, this was nothing compared to what may have been the symptoms should I have contracted Covid.   I wanted to write this as there seems to be so much negativity around the whole situation, the way that I am looking at it, is that I am here, I am able to have dinner with my husband and chat to my children and am looking forward to welcoming my first grandchild into the world.  This seems very mundane, but they are the things that make me smile and appreciate being alive.    I hope that everyone that is on here, is keeping safe and avoiding this awful virus.   Sending positive vibes to you all, thank you for the chat and information that has kept me sane through not only this current situation, but also through my MS journey so far.  Keep up the good work everything you post and your replies are so valuable.   Michelle

    • Hepatitis B vaccine

      I was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago, I have relapse and remitting MS. Thankfully I have very mild and brief relapses, and I’m not receiving any treatment for my MS.   I have recently met a partner who has told me they have chronic hepatitis B, which has left me with a huge dilemma. If I was to stay with my partner I’d need to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine to safeguard myself, but I’m uneasy with the idea of having the Hepatitis B vaccine as the link between the vaccine and MS is negative. And I wouldn’t want to do anything that could cause my MS to progress.   I’d be grateful if I could hear others experiences with their MS and having the Hepatitis B vaccine please.
