Friday 9th May 2014, today I
received my MMR shot at 4:30pm. Hubby drove me there and waited in the car till
it was over. I was happy he could come along as I was worried I might get a
reaction to the MMR.
I had a bad reaction to
Gardasil many years ago. I walked out of the Doctors and stopped on the street
and phoned my brother to come get me. My house was only a 10 minute walk away,
but I was that weak and dizzy that I couldn’t walk. Weird and scary! Never got
the other 2 Gardasil shots.
Anyway, I had another doctor,a
man one, instead of my usual lady doctor. That man doctor administered the
injection, as apparently the nurse was not there to do it.
This is pretty much how my doctor’s
appointment goes:
Dr: “Why are you getting the
shot?”
Me: “My recent blood test says
I’m not immune”
Dr: “Have you ever had this
shot? When you were younger?”
Me: “It should show on your
records. I think I have.” (Thinking to myself: cant he check the records!!!)
Dr: “ Why do you need it, is it a work requirement?”
Me: “ I want to get pregnant. “
Dr: “Make sure you don’t get
pregnant for 2 months”
Me: “ It says 3 months on the
box booklet and my regular doctor also said wait 3 months” (Thinking to myself:
I’m going to do 3 months! I don’t care what you say. Box says 3 months and
that’s what I’m going to do! At least 2 full menstrual cycles..)
Dr: “No 2 months is okay.”
Then he started unpacking the
injection and bottle while he was on the phone, and then prepared it infront of
me and then I swear he didn’t even wipe my skin with alcohol before he
injected. I didn’t see him wash his hands.
I felt like it was not
hygienic enough to what I had expected would happen.
I am not happy with that
doctor, he didn’t even read the records and hygiene care factor was low. I will
never see him again!
The shot didn’t really hurt at
all, just a prick and it was done fairly quickly.
I had the shot in my left arm
and feel like my heart is racing a bit. I just finished watching a movie and
having Domino’s pizza, and still it feel fast. Also its cold and I feel like
sniffles are coming along. Great! Trying to keep warm with long jammies and a
warm blanket.
Might grab myself a warm tea
with real lemon juice !
UPDATE: Period is late! Should've started 27 May 2014 (21 Days), did pregnancy test and am not pregnant.. I think the vaccine stuffed up my body again! .... :(
