I've had them for the last 4 or 5 years and always been just fine and had this year's on a Saturday morning a few weeks ago and by Monday morning was rough as a dog - cough, throat, headache, sniffles, sneezing, shivering, I had the lot (and yes, ladies, it WAS man flu...really....)
I spoke to the surgery about picking a prescription up later in the week and mentioned about being knocked for six and they told me it wasn't a live vaccine and must have picked it up off someone in the queue.
Anyway, whatever the source, I was rough for a good couple of weeks and it ranks as one of the worst colds/flu whatever I've ever had.
I didn't want to make up and honey and lemon for fear of further elevating my sugars which resulted in the cough dragging its feet - which in turn disturbed my sleep which in turn made me tired and irritable (or more irritable, should I say....) which makes you weak which lengthens the recovery time.
So, the short answer is yes, I had the jab, and yes, for whatever reason, I was wiped-out for two and a half weeks.
