Most of the serious consequences are delayed.
The immediate reaction is typical, for many people. This is a reaction to the adjuvant added which induces inflammation. It takes a while for the adjuvant to rev up the immune system for later attacks. This can be weeks or months. We also had a fellow from Canada who had 2 H1N1 vaccines by accident. The doctor was supposed to give him one of H1N1 and one regular flu shot. He was quite ill and ended up on steroids. We haven't seen him lately. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post840483-8.html

The only immediate stuff I get is a sore arm, swollen, or a lil temp. then a day or two goes by and I feel better. Then a week or two goes by and WHAMMO! relapse! Happened with my Hep B shot and again with my tetnus. WHAMMO!
I hope it steers clear of you.

My arm has been feeling ok; slightly warm still and a little bruised-feeling at the injection site. Till tonight when one of Beckyr's little girls, who was sitting in my lap, jerked her head back.
 Hit the exact wrong spot! It throbbed and 2 hours later it's still sore. Not-like-a-bruise sore. I'll be sleeping on my right side tonight!Still doesn't seem to be affecting my MS symptoms.

Can you put ice on it? Not sure if that would help or not. I know how badly that can hurt, though, when you bump that particular spot. I hope you feel better.

I think using a topical 1% HC cream might help with the local
reaction. It won't penetrate past the skin much to affect the vaccine. My old allergist used to give out samples of steroid creams for reactions to the allergy shots he gave every one. I used to get large welts from them. You could also try some Benadryl cream, but I don't think it is strong enough.

I get all suggested vaccines. My half sister had polio as a child and lost the use of her legs. She was in an iron lung when my mom married my dad, and nursed her back to health. She was never able to walk without crutches. She has post polio syndrome now. The risk of reactions is small compared to what these diseases can do to you. I also get a flu shot each year.

Kitty, I figure by the time I get an ice pack together the pain will have subsided. Then it doesn't subside, and the thought process starts all over again.
Procrastination?  Wishful thinking?MrsD, thank you for the suggestion of hydrocortisone cream. I think I have some; if my arm gets bumped again I'll try to remember that, or the ice! BTW, mrsD, the irises in your signature are exactly the color of a tattoo I've wanted for a long time! They are my favorite color iris! Wiz, think I've mentioned my Dad and his post-polio syndrome a time or 2. Guess he never got vaccinated or got it too late.
