I'm having a negative reaction to my flu shot now... ever since the evening of the day I got it (thursday - 3 days ago), I've been dizzy (not so dizzy I'd fall down, but noticably disoriented), and I've just noticed today that the place where the shot was administered is red and swollen a little. I'm told it's nothing too serious, but it hurst more now then it did when I first got it.

Stupid flu shots.... :evil:

Weird-- your symptoms sound normal for the first 24-48 hours but it seems to be going on a bit long. Are you allergic to eggs? (sometimes they've asked me if I'm allergic but latex but I assume that's due to the gloves being used)

I'd call the place that gave you the shot and push them a little harder for some more info...

(of course, I'd hope by now it's all OK)
