So I don't what it is for me, but the flu shot seems to be worse for me than the flu. Not sure if I'm allergic to something but in the past few years I take the flu shot and end up sick a few days later. So I don't get the flu shot anymore, but from reading the thread maybe that is just me.
Haha I think I agree with this. Although it depends on how sick you are I guess. Last time I was sick I didn't want to do much of anything but sleep until it was all over. I was wanting to play Shenmue and my body was like, "Nope. Go home, you're sick."
Whenever I get the sniffles (not too often thankfully, probably because I never leave the house these days...) I take Telfast Decongestant (60mg fexofenadine HCl spliced with a slow release 120mg pseudoephedrine, not that phenylephedrine junk) that clears the sinuses quite well and to sleep I hit up some of the first generation anti-histamines. Restavit / Dozile (doxylamine succinate) tends to be a good one. Might make you groggy the next day though. Buyer beware! Edit: The next big question is... trivalent or quadrivalent?
We could make a whole new thread based on this These days getting over a sickness is the only time I can get some serious gaming done. I remember quite a few I've finished this way, unfortunately I also recall feeling like shit. One of the big ones that springs to mind is Paper Mario on Gamecube after a wisdom tooth removal >> Then there was Dark Souls 2 after a hernia operation.. I'm going off topic here so I better stop
Never get it. And didn't get the free birdflu shot either. It's just bs that bigpharma is pushing so they can take your money. Or, even better, the government's money
Vaccination saves lives. Period. If you're in the risky demographics (kids and elders mainly) or if you're in contact with them or sick people you should get vaccinated. Even if you don't get sick, vaccination or not, not infecting others can be a huge benefits for the whole population.
