The fact that the flu is here is bad for Dallas, since they now have a second Ebola case, and it seems like the flu at first and people panic any time they start getting sick.
I got my flu shot several weeks ago and it didn't hurt when I got it, but it did make a lymph node under my arm swell up slightly. Since it was time for my BSE I found it and panicked slightly, but realized it hurt up behind my arm and around to the injection site so figured out what it was. I kept an eye on it for a week, even after it went down and it is fine now. Yes, I am still monitoring it. Everyone should be doing monthly BSEs.(There is my October Breast Cancer Awareness plug)

Duly noted on the BSEs. I woke up today feeling ill. The lymph nodes in my right arm pit, neck and back were swollen most of the day. They are almost back to normal. My left arm hurt too but I think that was because I slept on it wrong as I woke up with it all tingly from sleeping on it but everything else I had never experience pain like that before only in my neck from sinus drainage but wow back lymph nodes really hurt when they are swollen! I got the injection in my left arm and there is only a small red spot there now so I think it's all okay just my body not use having stuff put into it. I haven't had a immunization since I was a child so I think it went in a mild shock. Nothing as horrible as the flu though!
