So as some know, I lost my shot record about 10 years ago...which to some they may never need it after public school so it's not too much of a problem. I have decided to get my nursing license....so it's a huge problem. After much detective work in trying to find a record somewhere of my shot record none showed up, except for one that Casey found that only saved me from getting a few shots. So, Im having to re-do ALL my shots. UGH. I went 2 days ago and got 4 shots in my arms. And, yes, one including was the chicken pox vaccine. Yes, I had chicken pox as a young infant (about 6 months old) but Dad isn't sure and won't write a letter documenting the fact so I had to start the round of shots for that too. Besides my arms hurting and not being able to raise my elbows above my shoulders all was going good. Until I realized that 'the spot I keep itching on my arm, right by the injection site' is not a mosquito bite at all....it's a reaction to the chicken pox vaccine!! I am walking around with a bit of the chicken pox symptoms...for real, how does this stuff always happen to me!? It could be worse, I could have ended up with a full blown case, I still could. It says reactions can happen with in the first 2-30ish days...I go back for 5 more shots in 3 months including another chicken pox vaccine...hope all is well with everybody!
Love ya,
Cassie
