Normally I hear everyone complaining about the flu jab hurting them every year and how painful it is and I wonder what all the fuss is about because the only thing I feel after getting the flu jab is sleepy, not sure why but something in it makes me drowsy. This year though it was stingy, very stingy going in, even my Dad who's a diabetic and is very much used to needles everyday said it was sore/stingy.

Both my sis and I are asthmatic so we both got the flu jab and Daddy is diabetic so he got it as well and we were comparing notes yesterday and we all felt the same way and that's not usually the case, I get sleepy, my sis gets a lump on her arm, and my Daddy doesn't notice anything, but this time our arms have got a lump in them where the injection went in and they've either gone hard or going hard. Weird.

My right arm feels like it's recovering from a dead arm sort of thing and it's a really odd feeling especially when I'm writing in work, but at least it's still attached and that's all that matters!

If it feels worse I'll go over to the chemist and ask some advice but until them I'm not worried about it.

Just have to convince Mummy-in-law to get her flu jab now, she refuses to each year, but this year I'll have to try and convince her to get the jab and tell her it doesn't hurt, while my arm is aching, naughty me, but it's for a good reason and I don't think I'll be told off too much for this little white lie.
