joker97: If he normally has migraines how is the vac responsible

OP said:

1. Flu vaccine a week ago

2. Lips twitching 24 hours after vaccination (and still hasn't stop 7 days later)

3. Migraine last night - 6 days after vaccination

We don't know whether OP is known to have migraine or not. We also don't know if it's migraine or headache as this can been used interchangeably.

The fact that he said the headache is 'hell', it is probably important to see someone today.

Thanks for your responses guys. I'm off to the doctors Monday. And for the person who said this is a tech forum, really sorry. I thought you could post anything here as long as it was posted in the right section. My bad..

I do not usually get migraines at all. Infact, I don't believe I've ever had one. I just thought I would see if anyone else had a similar experience after getting the flu shot and what steps they took afterwards. Wasn't too sure if this was a serious flu reaction or a common reaction.

He was meaning that a tech forum is probably a bad place to get health advice, akin to randomly stopping strangers in the street

I wasn't asking for medical advice, I was asking for peoples experiences with the flu shot.

Very interesting I did not know we had someone practicing medical doctors on this site all freely giving their knowledgeable opinion!

F you have had a heartache they offer them free every year!! Never had any side effects whatsoever never had the flu so.... guess I will get one next year...if I live that long...

Work dishes out hundreds each year to staff. Can't say I have ever heard of any problems.

Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

Hope you get better.

I have had flu shots for the past 5 years, from work, with no side effects.
Only a little sore if you press the arm on the injection site, for a day or two.

If I were you I would not wait until Monday.
