So for those of you who saw the other post, the spider bite has subsided and there's a miny hole in my leg now, similar to a volcanoe. I've been on these antibiotic pills now for 3 days and still have a couple of days to go. They also gave me a tetanous shot(no f'n idea why). I don't have any symptoms from the spider bite, but I've contracted the flu starting last night. It's a mild flu, congestion, runny noise and minor ache's.
So my question is...you know how when you get a flu shot, it's a mild strain of the virus that weakens your system just enough for your anti bodies to fight back and strengthen itself in case of an attack against the real deal... Does a tentanous shot or antibiotics("Keflex") weaken your immune system or cause these type of symptoms, or do you think my body just has bad timing and contracted the flu at the sametime? I contacted the pharmacist and she thinks its just a coincidence.
I'm not asking for professional advice, nor am I dying here or in immediate need of care so please refrain from the stupid remarks.("We aren't doctor's, go to the ER Idiot" etc)
I'm just posing a question, and there are a few medical peeps in here that might have some insight. I'm not going to take anyone's word as "GOLD" and I will see a doctor if things get worst but I thought I'd see what some "SEASONED" monkies have to say.
