It was not until about 7 to 8 hours after injection that I started having the dreaded "Pre-flu" headache sensation. I took some acetaminophen (paracetamol) at work from the stock bottle, (650mg dosage total, since I do not like horking down huge amounts of the stuff) and it only just prevented the shakes and shivers with heavy sweating. Still had muscle weakness and joint inflammation that I get when I get the flu.
was allowed to go home early when it was apparent that I could not hoist bodies off the floor like I usually am able to do. (Had a gentleman repeatedly put himself there, and then be too feeble to get back up again. He was unhurt, but could not get it through his head that he should not be trying to constantly move from chair to bed, and back again in his room, because he lacked the strength to do that activity safely.) I was basically just a warm body at the workplace, and not a valuable staff member, so the CN let me go home. About 2 hours later (I had been trying to work for 6 hours prior), the drugs wore off, and the heavy sweats and shivers hit.
Turned my heater way the hell up, and soaked in a tub of hot water for a few hours, then retired to my room to try and sleep. Had recurring dream on repeat about using an archaic CMOS setup program from the 80s (gsetup) over and over again on a computer that would not accept the new parameters. Nothing new ever happened in the dream, it was just me being tired and frustrated, trying to fix the sorry assed thing, and it being "what? no." over and over again, like groundhog day.
Woke up with a bed drenched in sweat, tired, and thirsty. Had fever shivers and intense feelings of being cold the instant I got out of bed to seek a drink.
That kind of crap lasted the rest of the day, and into the next one.
Then it just dried up, and went away. Feel great now.
