Title: Hrt and flu jab.
Post by: Gnatty on November 03, 2021, 01:35:33 PM

I know we have had threads on Covid vaccines seeming to affect her and bring back a return of some menopausal symptoms. Has anyone by any chance noticed this with the flu jab? I had mine on Sunday and just feel a bit strange - more than normal haha. Feeling like anxiety is creeping up on me and slightly revved up.

I think that this year's 'flu jab has more 'stuff' in it to cover more viruses?  Several people this week have said that they felt really poorly and intermittently washed out since Sat..  Don't think it's connected to HRT in any of those that I have spoken too.

True, it could just be general side effects!

1 who I spoke to this morning has never had side effects with the 'flu jab until after getting it on Sat..  (should that be "to whom I spoke"  ::) ) ?

Not on hrt and this is first year I've had side effects from flu vaccine. Headachy and tired that evening and the next day
