I always get ill after vaccinations as well :frown:

I don't think there's anything (evidence wise) to suggest why. Must be placebo-esque.

I ticked the yes box for a flu jab at uni and never went because I am a wimp. Strange you have a reaction to injections..I've never known of anybody that did but obviously it does happen!

ANY jabs...

Of course they hurt, its africking needle going into your arm. The thing is tho they hurt a damned sight less than if you stubb your toe, or bang your head etc, so think of it in terms of input output. input 15 seconds of pain (plus a few minutes of dull throb) and get out peace of mind and immunity against horrific diseases.
Or you can spend a week or so looking like a hamster in pain.

choices choices choices...
