Topic: I got 2 injections today and almost fainted
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago#11,935
I have to get some vaccinations seeing as I'm going to Africa. It's like over 10 injections in total over a few weeks (great). I got the first 2 today. The nurse didn't wear gloves or sterilize her hands/my arm beforehand which I thought was fucking strange. She gave me no warning and just stuck them in my arm. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would, but afterwards my arm hurt really badly for like 20 minutes.
Anyway, she stuck the needles in, got it over with and then I left. Like 10 seconds after I left that room, I felt really fucking strange. My vision went weird and I almost fell over, I can't really explain it. Felt like I was gradually losing consciousness or something. I started breathing heavily and my mouth dried up, I found it hard to walk/balance. Anyway what the fuck was this about? Why did it happen?

Reactions to the shot obviously. Or that girl wasn't sterile and infected you. You should really report that.

What do you mean though? They're vaccines, I shouldn't react like that?

It's a pain in the ass, but not as bad getting hepatitis, rabies or all the other shit I have to be vaccinated for.

Well, it's like getting a flu shot. Sometimes your body reacts and you actually get the flu instead of it preventing it. Some shots make your arm hurt and make your body feel all stiff. I assume the same goes for every shot. There's probably a reaction some people get and some don't.

I was seeking a more scientific explanation but guess I'll have to be content with this. You know when you're sitting down for a long while, you get up and there is a sudden drop in blood pressure so you feel headrush, vision goes a bit weird and you feel light headed. It was like a really extreme, more intense version of that.

They're shooting dead viruses into your bloodstream to build up immunity to diseases. Naturally they come with side effects, including getting the illness itself.

I get that a lot. I also tend to get temporarily blind for a good couple minutes or so. I'm no scientist, but I'd guess it's around the same concept. Maybe not, but I wouldn't know for sure.

The chance of actually getting a disease from a vaccine is negligible.

My vision doesn't just go weird, I go completely blind for a couple minutes. My vision fades back in slowly.

Literally two minutes, like 120 seconds? Damn. That doesn't sound normal, but it is listed as a symptom on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_hypotension Must have scared the shit out of you the first time it happened.

Meh. I was more scared when the reflection of a really strong laser got in my left eye and temporarily blinded that for a good ten minutes. [That] was some scary shit. But yeah, I got used to it. I just have to stay still for a little while so I don't fall or run into anything.

At all? You are hurting everyone. Herd immunity and all. Also, you can look at the statistics for vaccines. Its reckless and dangerous not to get vaccinated. We know because in recent years kids have started to die again from diseases we had virtually wiped out. All because one guy did some bad research and came out with an article linking vaccines to autism (he has since been completely discredited).
@OP if not pretending to be DM, what shots did you get?
Also, report that bitch. Not washing her hands or Sterilizing your arm is a huge huge no-no. She really needs to be reported. She is gonna get people sick.

It's offered by the school board in grades 5 and 9, just need a parent to fill out a form. Only my mom was like "lolno, vaccines are bad" and didn't fill in the forms. I was vaccinated after birth~

Well I have another 2 injections in about an hour. I'm gonna consume a bunch of junk food beforehand to try and keep my blood sugar up and stop me fainting. Guess I will update you afterwards.

First, get full. You'll need lots of stamina to do this.
Next, change your field of vision to "Quake Pro". This may takes some adjusting to.
Third, find a target mod (cows, zombies, and creepers work well. Skeletons not so much.), and sprint to it.
Make sure that you jump exactly 3 blocks before arrival. Hit the object on the way down, and you've successfully performed a falcon punch.

Should have complained loudly and heavily. She probably would have got fired for that.
