I got the H1N1 and a pneumonia shot on Jan. 12, 2010. I am 82 years old. I have gotten the flu shot every year since 1968 when the Hong Kong flu landed me in the hospital for 6 days with pneumonia. I am the loud=mouth that shamed people who didn't do their civic duty to stamp out H1N1 flu.
The needle hurt terribly and I told the nurse. I've never had a reaction to a shot. This arm swelled a little and ached from the beginning. I thought it would just go away. Two weeks later, the pain was unbearable. When I couldn't move my arm, I went to Emergency. The Emergency Room doctor said it was swolen after 2 weeks. I was given Oxycodone. It's now 7 weeks later and I am in pain all over. I can move my arm a little. This reminds me of Epstein-Barr, Chronic Fatigue. People didn't believe it was real, because it hadn't happened to THEM.
