I'm not even sure if hpv vaccine I took is the whole cause, or the twinrix (hep A + B), but I've felt so sick for over a week already. I went from body pains/flu symtoms, to dry coughing that leads to more fatigue, as well as having dry mouth. Advil made the earlier stuff bearable, but the night tyenol pills and even my sleepy allergy pills don't do enough to make my throat feel better to get some decent rest.
I have called in sick a few times and got a doctors note, I thought I was getting better, but my throat is so sore and itchy, it hurts to swallow-and I coughed up a thicker mucuous than I ever have, which came out from excessive coughing.
The worst part is not knowing why I react like this, how long it will take, and whether or not vaccines are even safe.
I've grown a fear of vaccine manufacturers, and of oblivious doctors who don't seem to know anything, but give you drugs. Ive already been subject to a horrible doctor who gave me antibiotics for a throat infection I apparently didnt have, but never called to update me to stop taking the medication...(I came in for another reason and the clerk told me about it).
They assume this isnt side effects because "it takes 2 weeks normally for them to appear"...so she gets me doing extra blood work and thinks it's something else. (Yea I guess its good to check anyway, but totally dismissing my idea because apparently everyone reacts the same way to vaccinations?)
Anyway, now Ive been feeling quite depressed. Ive had some emotional moments, even at work, of simply feeling so helpless and afraid of what's going on in my body-----I don't know of my diet is helping me fight it, if any sleep I get is doing much (I wake up in middle of night, so likely my sleep isnt that good), or if it will just go away soon on it's own?
Meanwhile ,I'm still apparently needing travel vaccines, before I go in June to Taiwan.......and to be honest, I almost at this point, would rather risk getting actual-sick, instead of paying out big money to get sick before I leave, and not know if I'll recover in my trip.
I feel depressed and don't know what to do anymore.......I'm going to see the doctor about my recent throat and mouth issues, but......that's all I can think of.
If I get travel vaccines, I am going to miss so much work according to my current reactions to other ones, on top of paying up the costs to get the vaccines.
I am not really a huge health-phobia person, but of course anxiety and ocd will come into play, and make me feel like one---
I feel like basic clinic healthcare people just prolong things and don't solve them...sometimes the way some behave, I wonder if they even care about their patients...or just want their money.
