Illness After Astra Zeneca Vaccine ?

Have mine yesterday. No side effects. (AZ).

 

The AZ jab left me with a lot more arm pain for some reason than the flu jab I get every year . Different length/gauge of needle perhaps?

 

Maybe inexperienced jabber? A work colleague is on high dose antibiotics having developed an infection at the injection site which her GP says was caused by where and how it was injected.

 

I will has a mix up in tenses from mine

 

Had 2nd AZ jab yesterday midday. Woke with cracking headache at 3am but paracetamol then and again this morning seems to have nailed it.
Was worse after the first jab when I had a few days of flu-like symptoms probably due to having had covid before.

 

Many people get tenses over having covid jabs.

 

We had our second AZ vaccination on Saturday. One of us no reaction other than sore arm. The other woke in middle of night with racing heart rate (120 BPM) which lasted 3 to 4 hours and in the morning felt very breathless and unwell. 24 hours later right as rain. Reported the side effects on Yellow card website. Might be related to other prescription medicines taken.

Anyway the breathlessness and tight chest was quite upsetting. Just a small taste of what a severe Covid infection must be like.

Has made us a little more wary of accepting an AZ booster if such a thing comes about.

 

Are the multiple personalities a side effect of the vaccine?

 

No it isn't.

 

Oh yes it is.

 

Had my 2nd AZ jab on Thursday, sore arm till Saturday. Felt very unmotivated on Friday and had to go for a nap at lunch-time which is very unlike me. Was right as rain on Saturday though.

 

Got my first jab on Friday. Everyone i've spoken to, bar a few, have all had flu like symptoms for a few days. Good job i've got the time booked off work until the 12th.

 

Got my 2nd jab on Thursday. Felt ropey for a couple of days after the 1st jab. Did have C-19 in December, if anything felt worse after 1st jab. Under 40 too so hope to avoid the worst!

 

How have you managed to get your second jab five days earlier than me (and that was brought forward) when you are at least 15 years younger?

 

Athsmatic

 

Yeah, me too. Obviously not seriously enough to move up the list though!

 

No - there were two of us before the first vaccine now there are only four

 

I had the same 6 days after my first AZ jab. Until then I hadn't had a migraine since the day we buggered up the Championship against Sheffield Weds!

 

Do you mean dyslexic?

 

That’s terrible planning ! Ruining weekend and holiday time feeling rough ? Best to get the jab on a Monday of a working week and then take 2 days as sick.

 

Asthmatic. Happy now?

 

Definateley happier.

 

I thought you would off said that m8

 

Ah, you see I don't do sick days. They're for the weak minded

 

Nor me. I had mine on the Saturday of a bank holiday weekend which shows what a corporate man (disorganised fool) I am

 

Never had a day off sick in 35 years. So re-arranged weekday appointment for Saturday just in case. Mind you i have fully repainted the house during lockdown. A wondrous thing “working” from home

 

Yes several traditional weekend chores don't seem to have been required at the weekend for the last year or so. The grass is a lot shorter than it was at 1pm today and there may be a little potting compost on the kitchen floor.....

 

I had my second dose on Saturday morning, no side effects. My first gave me a 24 hour splitting headache.

 

second jab this evening. Felt pretty rough for about 12 hours after the first one, hoping it will better this time

 

First one up for me in an hour's time. It's all very exciting - a trip to a new place, then not knowing what vaccine I'll get or the possible side effects.

 

@UEA_Hornet All the best. Hope it goes well. I’ve had both and had no side-effects at all, only an overwhelming urge to sit by the Mediterranean lol

 

UEA. I just want to say it's been great knowing you, and you will not be forgotten. Do you have a Will ?

 

I'm leaving my large and treasured collection of Princess Diana memorial plates to the forum. You can have first dibs.

 

Thanks. That's all I was really interested in.
