Is it normal to experience body aches, loss of appetite, and nausea after getting a tb skin test done?

I am asking this question because today I got a tb skin test done for a job that I will be starting soon and a short time after getting the test done I started to experience body aches, loss of appetite, and nausea. I've had tb skin tests done before in the past and never experienced any of my current symptoms and so I don't know if this is my body's way of reacting to the serum used in the injection or if I am just coming down with the flu.I've also always tested negative for tb as well and feel confident that this most recent test is negative also! I have to go and have the results of my skin test read on Wednesday of this week and I was just wondering if I should be alarmed and if I should say something about me feelng sick when I go back to have my test results read? thanks for all your help!
