This is Not Funny

Last week I went to have my flu jab and while I was there they offered me another injection, I think it was to protect against pneumonia, I can't remember, but I took both injections anyway. If I get the flu or even just a bad cold I often end up with bronchitis and it always makes my asthma worse, so I try hard to stay well. The nurse put one injection in each arm right at the top close to my shoulder. I always react to the flu jab and within hours both arms were painful, by the following day I felt as if my shoulders were sticking out like an American football player. If anyone touched my arm it was so uncomfortable and it made me want to shout out, I couldn't even lay comfortably in bed. Steadily the discomfort diminished and I was left with a bruise to be proud of, but at least I could forget about it for another year. Then to add insult to injury my breathing started to play up, I started sneezing and now I have a really bad flu type bug, everything aches and I feel dreadful. I know it is just coincidence and nothing to do with the flu jab, but it feels a bit like a sick joke at the moment!
