I am so sorry that you both are experiencing this kind of discomfort. I have a question for you: where in your arm were you given the shot?
Some readers are saying that the shot should be given just three finger-widths down from the top of the shoulder. In other words, for others reading this, if you take the first three fingers of your hand and line the forefinger up with the top of your shoulder, the shot should be given about where the ring finger ends.
I want to get both of you in touch with other threads in which people have had symptoms after a flu shot:
