Dear Body, WTF?

[lydy]

I got my flu shot yesterday. As always, it hurt, because needles. Ok, then. But it continued to hurt. And then hurt some more. So, I looked at it in the mirror. I have a red spot fully four inches in diameter. It's bigger than a baseball, dammit. And it's incredibly sensitive to any pressure.

I've never had this reaction to a shot before. Fascinating. There aren't any symptoms that worry me. No shortness of breath, red lines, or things like that. I did have some joint and muscle pain earlier today, but that's mostly gone, and is pretty typical with getting a flu shot for me.

So, really, WTF?

An other thing you may want to check, what is the base or medium the flu shot came in. I know people that are allergic to "duck" serum and "horse" serum. That could be the problem. I am a little bit alarmed as this could be the herald of Stuff. (but only a little)

Feel better soon
