Here, I sit at 3:00 in the AM, typing on my computer... because my stupid arms hurt too bad for me to sleep on my sides.
True (ridiculous and pathetic, but true) story.
I got my vaccinations today. You know: parvo, distemper and rabies.
Oh, wait. Those are the dog shots, and I'm making an effort to remember I am more like a baby, getting people shots. Let me rephrase.
I got my vaccinations today: Meningococcal Conjugate, Haemophilus B Conjugate and Pneumococcal 23-Valent.
The nurse who gave me the shots told me that two of these immunizations are recommended for children age 2 and above. The third can be administered to anyone between the ages of 6 months and 85 years. I'm pretty sure I fit in the age ranges for all three.
Side effects: headache, fatigue. Oh, and all they've been known to make children and infants cry more often than usual and experience increased irritability.
As I'm typing this, wide awake in the middle of the night because my stupid shots made my stupid arms hurt so bad that I can't fall/stay asleep, I can almost guarantee that I'll be experiencing each and every one of those side effects tomorrow. Goody.
