I knew i would have side effects because I usually do. I took acetaminophen to help combat it early. It did not work. About 8 hours after I received the flu shot, I started to get chills with the full body aches right after I left my boyfriend's house to go home. It came on very suddenly and then about 5 to 10 minutes into my drive I started to feel nauseous. I pulled over at the next exit but did not make it in time. I threw up all over the inside of my car. I pulled over to nearest parking lot and climbed out of my car. I threw up multiple times. From the time I started feeling nauseas and when I threw up was maybe a minute. That never happens. I usually know when I'm going to throw up. This was really weird. I tried to clean myself off with my car Tissues. Thought I was done throwing up so I stayed going again. After just another minute of driving I felt it coming again. There happened to be a (withheld name) across the bridge of the highway so I made my way there just in case. I threw up in my lap and it the window crossing the bridge. Made it to the (withheld) parking lot by the emergency entrance. I threw up some more out my door. And then my fingers started to get tingly and went completely numb for about a minute. I could bairly wiggle them. I called my mom, who is a nurse in education, and said I'll be fine and to just drive home. I became super dizzy. So I layed back in my car for about 5 minutes and then sat back up. Still super dizzy. Threw up some more. Still dizzy and my hands had then gone back to normal. I decided I was done vomiting and that I would not need to go inside to the emergency department. So I drove home. Dry heaved a bit in the shower and then when I got out I feel asleep on the bathroom floor for about an hour. Finally in bed. Still freezing from the chills and body aches.
I had covid about 3 weeks prior to receiving the flu shot.
Migraines, depression and anxiety
Acetaminophen to help combat symptoms I knew would come later. I am on wellbutrin, zoloft, nuva ring(birth control), Kyleena IUD, and I take magnesium supplements to help prevent migraines i get so often.
