Too soon for flu?

It's only about 2 1/2 hours since I had my flu shot. Surely that's too soon to be responsible for woozy/icky feeling?

Amines from the chicken egg? Do they still use eggs?

At the rate I'm showing sensitivities I wouldn't be surprised if I react to oxygen.

The whole point of having a vaccine is to stimulate an immune response. Injecting attenuated flu virus without anything else does not work anywhere near as well as injecting flu virus with adjuvants - stuff specifically designed to help elicit an immune response. Usually oils.

Its grim showing so many sensitivities. The more I read about it, the more I am certain that I am sensitive to everything I enjoy. I admire your commitment to try the beige diet - I just can't face living on nothing but stuff I don't like.
