Flu shot-- Prayers

Good evening ( well it's closer to morning now, LOL)

On Friday, I went to the doctor, he wanted to see me, because I have Raynaud's Syndrome. A circulation problem.. Yep at 38 I have a circulation
problem.. Not sure why.. Maybe some of you will know what this is, it's kind
of common. My fingers turn purple, blue, red, and mostly white, ( white like I am dead, the blood drains from them),, when they get even a little cold. It's tough in Wisconsin to have this, because we have a long cold winter. I just have to carry warm gloves. But even sitting at home, they will just get freezing cold, and do this..

Anyway, that is why I went to the doctor. But I got my Flu shot while I was there, as I have many other years.. I have NEVER had a problem when I got a Flu shot, and my daughter just got one last week, and she did not have a problem.

But last night, I was sitting here, on SR, typing away, and all of a sudden,
I got extremely cold, and I could not warm up. Then my body began to ache. Then I got really weak, like I was going to pass out, and I got sick like I was going to throw up, as well as other things I won't write about.
I was also having trouble breathing, and this threw me into a panic, I was already stressed about some things going on in my life, and then when I started to have trouble breathing, well, it just sent me into a panic.. I do struggle with panic, and I guess I couldn't handle anymore. The trouble breathing really scared me, since I was feeling so sick anyway.. But my panic got really bad too.

I did end up getting to sleep. I thought I was going to have to go to the ER, but I made it through the night. I was burning up with fever all night, and slept, but was almost like I was a bit delirious,, because I do vaguely remember waking, but was a mess, and would drift back off. My fever must have been very high..

Thanks to God, and some wonderful friends praying for me, I did not have to go to the ER.. I am ever grateful.. Thank you..

But today, (tonight) although my aches are mostly gone, my fever must be mostly gone, but my chest is very congested, and my back hurts alot where my lungs are. I just don't feel good. My lungs don't feel good. I am praying I am not going to come down with pnemonia, or broncitis. I usually get pnemonia this time of year, almost every year.. I get very sick when I get pnemonia. I am afraid of pnemonia. My lungs aren't in the best shape.

I am writing all of this, to ask for prayer.. Would you please pray for me?
Sorry about this, but I have a tendency to write my life story, or a book when I have a question, or need to write something.. I am way to thorough..
I would greatly appreciate prayers.. I know God listens.. We all know that..

Love ya all,.

Becky

Have you done any reading to see if that is a known reaction/side effect?

prayers for you.

Much prayers to you Becky. Me, or my children have never gotten the flu shot. I have read articles that say that you do not get the flu from the flu shot but yet my children's pediatrician says that the side effect is a mild case of the flu. I would call your doc & ask if I were you. Much prayers to you to be feeling better & for the doc to have the wisdom to know what is going on & to treat it quickly & effectively if need be.
