My wife and I got our flu and pneumonia shots a couple of days ago and we're still recovering. Our arms hurt like a professional boxer had hit them, we have bad headaces, feel weak and have fever and cold sweats and occasional shivers.
We can't recall ever having this bad a reaction.
Ist it just us or are others having side effects?

After having my son, I didn't have a period for a year and a month(because of breastfeeding). I started getting it again about 4 months ago, 3 months after I stopped nursing him, and it came when it was supposed to (during my sugar pill time). It would only last about 4 days max. Suddenly last week, I got my period when I wasn't anywhere near my sugar pills, two weeks after another period, and 4 weeks too early (I cycle so I only get my period every 6 weeks). Today is the 6th day I've been bleeding. I am beginning to be concerned. I have lost a lot of weight and I am worried now that being underweight could be what's causing this extremely long period. When should I call my doctor?

I was stung several times about 2 months ago, and developed minor joint pain about 2 weeks later. The pain has intensified over time, and has become more constant.

I would estimate that I was stung between 20 and 30 times. Most were in my calves and ancles.

Although several sources claim that yellow jackets do not leave a stinger, I know for a fact that these were yellow jackets, and I had six stingers left inside. Two in my right leg, and one each in my left leg, each arm, and left side.

The joint pain was in my knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows. My knees and hips are ok now, but my shoulders and especially my elbows have continued to worsen.

Any suggestions?

I have hypothyroidism and recently was diagnosed with Hashi's, which is actually a relief because now I know what's causing all my crazy symptoms. I am confused however, it sounds from what I've been reading online and a book that I bought that Hashi's doesnt really go away but is controlled with the levothyroxine and acts up once in a while. It sounds like eventually my thyroid will just not function anymore or I will get a goiter and have to have it removed. I asked my doctor about this and he didn't really give me aclear answer. he made it sound like this is just a one time thing (need to find a new doc). Anyone have more info? Also, I've been feeling a kind of hot/cold feeling in my throat, around the thyroid area, for the past couple days, like I swallowed some ben-gay (didn't). Anyone else experience this? Thanks!

My neice broke her arm (again). the first time she had a cast. She broke it tuesday afternoon and they took x-rays at the hospital that day. My sister had been trying to get her in to get a cast put on and she took her to an appointment today where they didnt even have her xrays to look at (diff place, diff city, but where she was refered to). She said the doctor was uncaring and said that it was broken but just barely in two places (how could he tell, he had no x-rays, just notes from what i was told) and said she didnt need a cast. Its just splinted. She has to wear her 6 year old sister clothes because it hurts her to wear her own. My question i guess is, is this right? shes 3, her arm is broken in two places, is it normal for a doctor to not put a cast on her? Is a splint good enough for this? my sister had medicaid, could that be a reason? If this is wrong, what can i do go get it corrected. I dont feel a 3 year old girl should be shunned by the system if this isnt right.
