Last autumn I was offered the flu jab as I fall into the high risk group. For one reason or another I didn’t go. Big Mistake. Huge. It struck last Tuesday evening and I still have all the symptoms. They are slightly less severe but I really do not recall being so ill so badly and for so long. It was that bad that I was practically incapable of work which given I work from home and can use the laptop anywhere should give some idea just how poorly I must have been. I was even having to sleep during the day (There are people for whom an ‘afternoon nap’ acts as a refreshment, as a boost and is a pleasant experience. Not me. I feel like crap for the rest of the day. Generally speaking no matter how bad I feel sleeping in the day makes me feel worse.) While I wouldn’t describe myself as fit I’m not entirely unfit either - if someone less healthy got this it would be horrendous for them. I will certainly never miss a flu jab again and if you ever get the chance for one, do not pass it by.
