I have never gotten a flu shot in my life until now. I got the H1N1 shot three weeks ago and no reactions that day or 24 hours later. I am not allergic to eggs or anything else. I am very active...a week later I broke out in hives all over my body. I thought it might have been something I ate. It would go away and appear in another area. This lasted for 12 hours. The next week I broke out in hives again. But, not as bad. Two days later it happened again. It lasted for two hours. Tonight again I broke out in hives. This time it was more painful than the last three times. As the hives start to go away it spreads in the area it appears and swells so large it looks as if someone has beaten me up! My wrist had swelled to a much larger size than normal too. I realized it has to be a reaction from the H1N1 influenza vaccine...I spoke to the facility that I recieved the shot and they had never heard of this happening before. Will this ever stop occurring?
It is very uncomfortable and painful. I had to take a cold shower to relieve the itching. This seems to happening every couple of days without warning....[/quote]
