Thank you Fresia and unhappyguy for asking. The lymph nodes above the collarbone are gone down and not as painful. I'm starting to cough up mucus (sorry TMI) which I hope is a good sign.

I had no idea the pneumonia vaccine would be more painful than a flu vaccine. My arm is so sore I almost can't raise it over my head. I also have red area on my arm not too close to the shot. Usually they don't give shots if a person has a fever, but I really regret having it done when I was sick - I wasn't too sick that day. I don't know if this is a flu or this is the side affect of this lung problem. Usually I don't feel my age but my body aches. Overall I feel a little better and feel this lymph node swelling is from the shot, since its only one side.
