Well so much for no effects from the flu jab! I never expect side effects from drugs/vaccinations/medical interventions, but I got them this time. Same as last year actually, which was the first time it'd happened to me. About 8.30/9pm yesterday I started to shiver uncontrollably, no fever, but cold and my arm ached like crazy. Went to bed and, apart from waking up once, slept for ten hours, unheard of for me. Today just feel wiped out, though I do also feel a bit as if I might have a cold. I realise you can't get flu from a vaccination and I might have had a cold coming on anyway (though I don't usually get them), or it could be another bit of the side effects. Having trouble staying warm today too, so I'm having a wholly unproductive day indoors with the heating on - again, unheard of for me at this time of year.
Insult to injury, when I woke in the night I checked with Libre - sensor error, start a new one. So that means a call to Abbott tomorrow as it wasn't going to start ever again, the new one hasn't been soaked and is reading quite high at the moment. I realised how dependent on it I've become when I tested in the night with my meter instead, was 4 something and had no idea whether to eat something as I have a tendency these days for bgs to go down overnight. I didn't and was 7 when I woke up, rising ever since. Oh the joys...
