Ugh, what a way to start the day

• Ugh, what a way to start the day Benedict Posted : 1/24/2007 1:12:41 AM In less than 2 hours I have to go have a bunch of vaccinations and booster shots.  I hate needles.    Really nasty experience when I was in the hospital before Christmas and now I don't want to be anywhere near a needle.   However, to make you all sick with jealousy, the reason I need the shots is because in 3 months, I am going here:   [linkhttp://www.kurumba.com]www.kurumba.com[/link]  []   Kate   LIKE 9 REPLIES 207 VIEWS LAST POST BENEDICT Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

[]   Now why you wanna make me jealous like that[], lol.   Well you know me, I'm an every-cloud-has-a-silver-lining kinda girl.  I was merely pointing out that my holiday is the good part of having to have those shots.  [][]   Kate 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Benedict Posted : 1/24/2007 11:10:03 AM My arms are KILLING me...hurts to move them.  The nurse warned me that I might feel a bit sore and stiff, but she gave me the impression that any reaction wouldn't show up for a few days, and this has only been several hours.   Anyone know if I need to be worried, or what I can do to ease the pain?   Kate 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• cakana Posted : 1/24/2007 11:33:21 AM Well, I'm completely jealous but hopefully we'll have lots of pictures when you get back from your trip.   I think putting warm compresses on the sore arms will help.  I'm pretty needle-phobic myself, so I understand how you felt.  I'm pretty sure I could put my phobias aside for a trip like this though [] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Benedict Posted : 1/24/2007 11:58:17 AM Thanks Cathy!  I will try the warm compresses.  Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't both arms lol.  And it's been a long time since I needed to be vaccinated against anything.  It hurts a lot more than I expected it to, and now I feel icky as well.   You will all get lots of pictures, I promise.   Kate 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Michelle Posted : 1/24/2007 1:22:04 PM What vaccines did you get? Some people react more strongly than other. I always give my kids Tylenol right before the dr. visit, so that it hurts less and helps keep swelling/fever down before it starts. Should've read this post sooner to tell you that! BTW, I always get a super strong reaction to tetnus. Last time my arm hurt for over a month and it was black and blue at the site and that night I actually cried it hurt so bad. Meanwhile DH was barely sore. I have since learned there's two kinds of tetnus, and one does hurt more than another! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Benedict Posted : 1/24/2007 8:17:42 PM I had Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Diptheria, Tetanus and Tuberculosis done.  The  Tetanus shot isn't recommended specifically for travel but I hadn't had a booster in about 9 years so they did that one anyway.  If I still feel this lousy in the morning then I am going to call the doc.   LMAO Amy, I can't believe I am not getting any sympathy.  []   The doctor can stab me with as many needles as he/she wants if I get to go on vacation or honeymoon there.   LOL! It does look nice, doesn't it?  To be fair, it is my honeymoon.  I don't usually get to take trips to places like that lol.    Kate 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
