Last Monday, I went to have my lungs examined and while at their office, I asked to get the pulmonary vaccine.
I've never had any problems from any vaccines, including the earlier one for our lungs.
However, this version had some serious side effects, perhaps only for people, like myself, who have Type 1 diabetes.
For the entire week my blood sugars have been sky high and are stubbornly resisting insulin.
I've had Type 1 diabetes since 1990, I get vaccinated for what I believe is appropriate every year and I have never experienced any side effects before.
Since Monday, I wake up between 1:00 and 2:oo a.m, find my sugars too high, stay awake to deal with it and monitor the effect of the insulin I provided.
I've had to give myself insulin in amount as high as 10 units at one time, something I've never had to do before.
Since overdosing on insulin is very dangerous, could even cause death, I then stay up and monitor what happens.
After five days of this, I'm tired and not able to come up with blog posts.
So I will take a break, which I hope will be short.

ReplyDeleteHealth beats blogging every time, Inger. Take care and I send some postivie vibes that you get the balance sorted! YAM xx
I hope you can get this side effect fixed soon. Yes, that's your priority right now.
ReplyDeletewill be praying for your sugar to regulate and get you back to your normal state of health, hope you called the doctor, they might want to see you. I am wondering if this is a reaction or something else... hugs and we will be waiting
ReplyDeleteGod bättring Inger, var det vaccin mot lunginflammation du fick ?
ReplyDeleteOh no, this is awful! Maybe you should call your doctor?? Was it the RSV vaccine? That is the only one I know of that treats respiratory virus. I hope your lung exam went well. Keep us posted!! Do you have an insulin pump?
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself and listen to your body. I hope you can get plenty of rest and feel better soon. Sweet hugs to you, Diane
