Swine Flu jab - i had it and oh boy did it make me ill!
Had the jab 26th nov and immediately started to go down hill. I had all the side effects, diaorrea, dizziness, fever, aches and pains, headaches and anble to stand bright lights. In addition i suddenly developed a nasty absese on my stomach plus i got such a bad throat infection i was unable to eat or drink for 7 days. I got so ill i had to be admitted to hospital completley dehydrated and the abeses infected by blood, i was in a very sorry state.
I have literally just got out of hospital...

I haven't had any jab, and last week was spent eating loads, drinking copious amounts and generally having a good time.
I hope for your sake I develop terminal flu and die within a few months as otherwise your jab will have been pointless!

The doc reckoned the jab knocked my immune system for six and I picked up another bug which caused the throat infection and abscess. I have had bad sore throats before but nothing like this; at one time I had some 25 ulcers on my tongue and inside of my lips. I never get mouth ulcers.

i had my first swine flu jab as soon as they came out , no side effects apart from a sore arm, i was called back for my swine flu booster jab on the 5th of December, and felt pretty ruff after along with a sore arm again, but nothing like what you have described.

Atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was caused by being prescribed codeiene which we found out later i was allergic to, lungs filled with fluid and little oxygene getting into my blood and heart beating at up to 210bpm to get in enough air just to keep me upright. GP kept giving me stronger beta blockers and missing the lungs filling up with fluid, even though i went back to see them (in a right state) 4 times in 10 days. It threw my heart out and damaged it, fortunately the damage is repairing itself.
I have to say apart from a bad experience with the GP the Hospital was brilliant on the several occasions i have been in there, as has the out-patient care

I wouldn't trust the government to tie my shoelaces, let alone come up with a cocktail of stuff to inject into me. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it made your legs/fingers/******* fall off after a few years.

To be honest I have no idea what to think of all this swine flu hype!
My daughter was diagnosed with swine flu and to be honest, the side effects from the tamiflu were a lot worse than what she was suffering before. Bearing in mind that she is 2 1/2, but that stuff is unnecessary and very bad for you,
My mother had COPD, and had the jab and it has really knocked her about.... whats the point?!

You hit the nail on the head, labour will send out a command signal to the nanobots on election day...the only way they can win, lol.

I have asthma and heart issues. I was offered both flu jabs and have turned them down. My spidey-sense tingles at the whole affair 
Wifey, being a nurse, has to have it tho.
Hope you're better soon.

Me and the wife had the swine flu jab and we both felt fine afterwards. I've also been getting the Influenza jab for the last 12 years and have never had any side effects from it either.
Getting it was an easy decision for us, my immediate family have used the same GP for over 25 years and we fully trust their judgement.
I suppose if you don't trust you're own GP you shouldn't be getting it at all, but then you have to ask, would you also turn down the NHS in the event of an emergency.

Last year was the first year I Went without the flu jab and I was lucky, I didnt get flu last year.
All the previous times I have felt a bit ill a week or so after having the jab but only cold symptoms.
I would recommend it if you are in a high risk group but for me I would just wing it from now on.

I wish you had not said that now Paul,I am due for mine on Tuesday-what a worry. My immune system was doubtless knocked by the chemo, so will have to keep my fingers crossed.
Sorry you had such a bad time with it.

No need to worry ... Children to get just half dose of swine flu vaccine | Mail Online
"... The Government had previously recommended two separate 0.25ml doses of the Pandemrix vaccine, given three weeks apart. But after warnings from the European medicines watchdog that the second dose could cause fevers of up to 38C (100F), the Government now recommends one 0.25ml dose for children under ten ..."
Seems the public are the testers for the vaccine as well .....
Not going near it with a barge pole.
Those on here who have actually had *swine flu*, how many actually had the blood tests to confirm it? And how many were told by the doc/guy on the phone that all the symptoms *pointed* to swine flu?

My misses has had suspected swine flu. Wiped her out for a weekend. Weirdly though, that weekend was the weekend we were decorating our bedroom and all she was capable of doing was hiding under a duvet on the sofa...

It was published that there is an additive to the vaccine which is designed to speed up its effect. It was this additive which was supposed to possibly cause problems with some people. They said it could even cause anaphylactic shock. Even some doctors agreed with all that. Maybe they have reduced the amount of the additive.

"...
In addition to the viruses and other additives, many vaccines also contain immune adjuvants like aluminum and squalene.
The purpose of an immune adjuvant added to a vaccine is to enhance (turbo charge) your immune response to the vaccination. Adjuvants cause your immune system to overreact to the introduction of the organism you’re being vaccinated against.
Adjuvants are supposed to get the job done faster (but certainly not more safely), which reduces the amount of vaccine required per dose, and the number of doses given per individual.
Less vaccine required per person means more individual doses available for mass vaccination campaigns. Coincidentally, this is exactly the goal of government and the pharmaceutical companies who stand to make millions from their vaccines ..."
[My emphasis in bold].
I wouldn't be too happy about having aluminimum injected into me, nasty stuff. And the adjuvants are there purely to increase the profits of the drug companies .....
Thinking of the patient? I think not .....Dave
PS: the above refers to US vaccines but I believe the adjuvants are the same over here!
