My other half had it - no reaction. All my cousins have had both doses (volunteer vaccinators in wales as well as being NHS staff) - no reactions. I had a sore bit on my arm for a couple of days (but only if I knocked it or lay on it) Mix of vacc types x

:) Doctor Xand says the reactions are no indication of the immune response - just bad luck !!

No 'feel for you' or 'sad' or 'hugs' reaction on the bottom bar Sal the 1st so here they are in words... Dunkirk Spirit lass. We'll get through. Xx

Bloody hell just lost 2 days holiday taken as sick - really looking forward to the next one. Its due during the warm weather as well which means my thermostat will really blow -in fact thinking about it I should get a new thermometer as when I put it away the other day stupidly put it on the same shelf as the cats in the bathroom cabinet - don't really fancy playing Russian roulette hoping I get the right one knowing where it could have been. Guess I will be missing the air display the weekend after as well .

Yep...all the reports are that the reactions to the second vacc are worse... but then that's just pure common sense if you look at your immune system? 1st contact - system is primed (so rare to get huge reaction). 2nd contact system recognises it and BAM! Goes into action with strong reaction.

So I reckon Sal the 1st you and I must likely have been exposed to it previously. Dunno about you Arlo, did you have a rough time too?

But it does mean that our 2nd jab will mean a further exposure and reawakening of our immune system Troops. Oh. My. Days. Bloody Nora...

please don't tell me the 2nd one is worse!!! The first one was bad enough, and as to NSAIDS they are out with me - I can't take them any more because of an ulcer after years of using them for hip pain.

Ah! Makes me wonder Sal the 1st you saying this... Coz in early December 2020 I too had an annoying cough that went on for weeks through to January... couldn't be ar*ed to do my normal yomping around the Dales as no energy... Missed my Christmas dinner as I was off food and generally 'meh' but eventually the cough and malaise recovered (my Mum had a difficult December and then passed on Boxing Day so put a lot down to that and then bereavement).

But...maybe I had a mild dose of COVID?

I was working in West Yorkshire in a later identified extremely high area of COVID incidence. So it's possible.

This leads me to think perhaps I have already had it (or a variant) and therefore having the vaccination my immune system said "ah-ha! you bugger! I recognise you! Feck Orrff!" And went into High Alert overdrive, turned up the heating systems and booted up the troops!! That's why I felt so sh*te and had to take to my bed but recovered after they'd done their FABULOUS jobs. Yay!!

I might be talking a load off bullocks. Not for the 1st time. But it does give ya pause to think... cripes, they say the 2nd vaccination reaction is worse. Oh heck.

Yep - neurological vision based after effects that lasted a week and a half - was like vertigo mixed with double vision, altered field of vision, flashes, stuff like that, hallucinaty dreams, feeling like I was in a boat when i was driving my car.. lack of concentration, having to triple check everything i did at work - got sent home early on the monday after i had it on the Friday and wasnt right for another week really.. a bit worrying, and making me wonder if i should have the second dose or not if its going to affect my eyes and ability to drive/ do computer work.. coz I was worried if it was ever going to go back to normal still get the occasional 'swervey' feeling now - had it 2 weeks ago. ( AZ vacc ) one of my friends had similar and a couple of other people i know. Never had any reactions to vaccines before not even tropical travel ones like Yellow fever etc.. so god knows whats in this.

no proof but early Dec 19 I had this cough - it went on for weeks. Ended up seeing a Dr when in early January I was getting a bit breathless and found that if I laid on my right hand side I couldn't breathe but was ok if laid on my left. He gave me 10 days of amoxypen which did absolutely nothing and told me 'there was a lot of it about'. By February when everybody was getting twitchy my cough had just about gone.

I had quite a bad reaction unfortunately to my first pfzr. dose, blinding headaches, nausea, lethargy, dizziness then facial swelling (left side only). Swelling went d own within 72 hours, but my headaches lasted and continued for around 6 weeks (was referred to the hospital for blood tests and scans), headaches have finally gone (touch wood)

I had the astra zeneca and within 20 minutes of getting it, I started sweating really badly and the headache from hell started and lasted all day. I had to go and lie down for the rest of the day. I also had an incredibly painful arm and over a month later, my arm is still very tender to the touch. I'm not looking forward to the second vaccination. My partner had the Pfizer vaccine and he had no after effects at all.

AZ for me too. Sore arm for a few days and seriously aching back, which I always get with infections as a result of some titanium scaffolding I had put in there some years ago ...

az vacc - if what they say is true and the more symptoms you show the better the immunity then I should be bullet proof. Seriously tho this is no fun I feel absolutely wiped out, no work for me today and I don't think for one minute the cat is laid on me from a sense of loyalty - more likely I am giving off more heat than the heater

RE: covid vac

Sal the 1st — Tue, 30 Mar 2021 16:50:00 GMT

had mine on saturday - had a few messages from friends on the sunday asking how I was to which I replied ' A ok - dont know what all the fuss is about'. Yesterday woke up with sore arm and a bit achy, went to work. Come finish time I was relieved it was all over. Went home, fell asleep on the sofa. Woke up about midnight and went to bed. This morning felt like a bus had hit me or a house dropped on me - or maybe the bus hit me first before hitting the building that then dropped on me? couldn't even get out of bed - feverish, shaky and really achy. Feeling a bit better now so guess I'm back to work tomorrow

Absolutely! Knocked me for a six!! Felt RANK. Had the vacc at 8:35am... arm started to ache around 20 minutes later. That disappeared. Then the rest of the day I felt 'meh' and a bit nauseous with little appetite until 4:30pm when the real sweats, shivers and deep bone and joint aches started, rheumy eyes and headache. Completely took the rug from underneath me. Went to bed. Slept like the dead. Still 'iffy' the next day... But completely back to normal (no jokes please about me EVER being truly a 'normal' human being - hahaha) by day 3!
