Illness After Astra Zeneca Vaccine ?

How are people getting on with the Oxford one that have had it since the last post?

 

Put it this way, they wont be posting here again.

 

Does the AZ take away your WiFi access? I knew they were up to something.

 

I had it about 36 hours ago and so far so good, other than a very slight ache in my arm.

 

Pfizer or AZ?

 

My phone signal is stronger since the pfizer and metallic things now stick to me.

 

AZ

 

I bought 17 Microsoft products without realising but apart from that I'm fine.

 

Had my 1st AZ at 12h25 on Monday. No immediate issues but I began to feel very tired at about 21h00 so had a shower and went to bed. I couldn't sleep so read for a while and I could feel myself getting colder and colder (I knew this was because of an increase in my body temperature) and feel asleep.

I woke at around 03h00 (Tuesday, extremely dehydrated) shivering and with 'flu - I couldn't move. Finally forced myself out of bed at 04h37 (clock in the kitchen) to go downstairs to get water, switch on the CH and returned to bed (putting extra blankets on the duvet). Forced myself out of bed at 06h15 to get son ready for school (breakfast, help doing OT/PT exercises and getting dressed), minibus arrived to collect him 07h45. Spent the morning dozing in a recliner (watched two episodes of "Hornblower") under a duvet forcing myself to drink. Finally fell 'properly' asleep at about 13h00 and woke just before son arrived back from school at 15h45. Made him tea and, myself, bovril (house recipe with tot of sherry and loads of pepper and some salt) forced myself to drink it - felt much better (ie only 'very rough'). Did reading with son and helped with his homework ("Turning Decimals into Fractions" - something I found very confusing). Tried to join in daily 'jam' session (son on bass) but I couldn't focus on the frets of my ukulele (Marceline the Vampire's song "Everything Stays"). Made son his supper at 18h15 (I didn't feel like eating - I was going to make myself another bovril but I was worried about how dehydrated I was). I was exhausted and went to bed (duvet and blankets) at 19h45.

I woke this morning at 06h00 soaked in sweat feeling fine although my jabbed arm feels slightly stiff.

I wonder 'if' my reaction was related to the fact that, I'm fairly positive that, my son and I had the C-word about a year ago?

 

Bovril can definitely have those effects.

 

Sorry to here about your negative reaction, but me and my wife had our AZ Jabs last Thursday and the only reaction we have had is a very slight soreness in the spot where we were injected, other than that we have both been absolutely fine and the slight soreness has completely gone now.

 

Oh here they come the first of the ill-informed anti-bovril 'campaigners' - trying to politicise peoples' choices with propaganda disseminated by social media innuendo campaigns and ignoring any evidence that dismisses their, frankly ludicrous, claims...

 

Love Bovril, Marmite on the hand is utter muck

 

It's a side-effect. Any pharmaceutical has a side effect. Many are extremely minor and please can I reiterate that I woke this morning feeling fine in addition to the knowledge the I'm protected against this killer disease. As I said before it may be related to my suspected c19 infection a year ago and I never do well with vaxes (my hep ones for work were particularly unpleasant afterwards).

 

It also seems to have had the welcome side effect of curbing your nonsense-posting affliction.

 

You appear to have morphed into Cpl Jones.

 

This is why there was no Covids in the 1970s when we all had Boverils and young people too soft now cos of computer games.

 

If, if, you're alluding to Cpl Jones's oft repeated claim of "...they don't like it up 'em...." then it's true - I don't like it 'up me' and I definitely don't like jabs - but my dislike of jabs is vastly outweighed by my knowledge of the benefits I will receive or have received from having them. Having 'flu-like symptoms for less than 24 hrs is a very small price to pay for the protection against the c-word that I now have.

POSTED BEFORE I SAW @Cthulhu RESPONSE.

 

3 of our staff just got their second Moderna vaccination.

All of them felt pretty bad afterwards. Our 70 year old receptionist was down pretty hard for a few days. Our late 20s employee was down for a day. My wife was had bad headaches and sporadic gastro issues for about 24 hours.

 

There is of course one major obstacle to pass, that is that as restrictions ease those who have not yet received the vaccine should behave like lockdown as much as possible to lower the chances of mutations.

Anyone who refuses to have the vaccine, send them to live on St Kilda.

 

I thought herd immunity needs to be higher than 70%, the higher the number vaccinated lowers the risk of yet another year of hell.

 

Even if 30% didn't get the vaccine, a large chunk will already have been infected and many of the rest who are out and about will get it before long

 

Fractions are really easy.

 

Your name's going in my book. In purple ink.

 

You don't know the half of it.

 

Booked in to have it tomorrow morning at 10am.

Astra bloody Zeneca one too. The one I was trying to dodge. If I get ill, then it's entirely @zztop 's fault.

 

Why were you trying to dodge that one specifically? I read an article last week that for years the flu jab has been made by different companies yet no one asks for a specific one. From what I understand you could have a reaction to any of them.

 

Just hearsay really. Everyone who's had the AZ one seems to have been sick, everyone who's had the Pfizer one seems fine.

 

ISTR @Arakel mentioning people having Pfizer and side effects.

People I've spoken to who've had the OAZ appear to see me as some sort of wuss as they didn't have any side effects.

Suck it up - get the jab.
