My wife and I have been down with a hella annoying flu since last Tuesday (wife) and Thursday (me). The headaches are insane, I'm barely able to do anything when the painkillers run out. Hoping it'll improve at some point this week because I've not felt any better even a single time so far.
I tried to go outside for a little walk today to get some air and immediately the vibes were off - super windy and cold - so I just went home after 5 minutes :(
I'm so tired of sitting on this couch ugh
My entire family gets the flu shot every fall. Is this something you and your wife would consider?
If I may ask, did you ever suffer from any side effects? I think the flu shot is a good thing in theory, but the day after the second Covid shot I had high fever and muscle pain (it happens to a few select lucky people), and the first booster shot was even worse, so I'm reluctant to try another vaccine that's likely closely related.
I have never had any adverse reactions to vaccines.
Thank you!
