I appreciate the effort shown on Twitter: "Some of my most extreme periods of sickness have been the aftermath of flu shots. Med professionals consistently tell me the shot can’t give you the flu. Am I allergic? Is it psycho-somatic? What the heck is going on when you get really sick after a flu shot?"

  If it’s really severe, maybe you do have some sort of (rare) allergy, have you asked a doctor?

  My doctor insisted I get a pneumonia shot because I have an auto-immune disorder. It knocked me out for almost two weeks. Could have been a coincidence...

  Also plan my flu shot to be followed by a quiet day. Never had a problem, just cautious....

  Allergy would be my bet. Or your body goes into super protector mode. I get tired & achy after some shots.

  I can't get flu needles either, after having two bad reactions. I'm sensitive to eggs so that could explain it. If you also have egg sensitivity just wear a mask, sanitise, stay away from sick/young/elderly, as with Coronavirus precautions

  Me too! Sounds really similar. I gave up getting the shots a while back, which isn’t ideal - but I get SO unwell?

  Likely, you just get a good immune response from it.
