Flu shots may not give you the flu....

But they can give you a LOVELY assortment of flu-like symptoms as your body's immune system goes into overdrive fighting off the dead virus bits. Headache and congestion started around lunch, and by mid-afternoon I was getting random pains all over, and was light-sensitive to the point that the glare off the wet road was physically painful. Joy. I'd better not get any fucking flu this year.
