Today I got a flu shot. Not the H1N1, but a normal, run of the mill, flu shot. While reading over the paperwork I came across the word 'Malaise.' As in, 3-5 days after the shot you may experience malaise or flu like symptoms.
I've always known vaguely what the word meant, but I decided to look it up.
This is what I found:
ma⋅laise
–noun
1. | a condition of general bodily weakness or discomfort, often marking the onset of a disease. |
2. | a vague or unfocused feeling of mental uneasiness, lethargy, or discomfort. |
The second definition describes exactly how I feel for most of tax season. Yikes!
