Poor wording on my part, doc wanted me to hang around the waiting room for 15 mins, not not drive it you see what i mean
Which jab did you have - Astra Zeneca or Pfizer? And what side effects?

Sometimes if someone's had a previous serious allergic reaction we get them to do that, but it's not routine like it is with the Pfizer jab.

AstraZeneca about an hour ago. Not sure if my arm is aching or I'm just imagining it. Very subtle if it is.
EDIT: 17 hours later, general stiffness and aching, a bit like I played football yesterday or something. Mrs [62] similar.

I think I'm still aware of it after 3 weeks if I hold my arm over my head - the faintest bruise sensation.

Mrs LR had Astra Zeneca. She says that’ll be the name of her tribe after the apocalypse. So I hope to be in the same one.

I had the Ox/Az at 1.30pm Friday afternoon (it's 6.30pm Saturday evening now). I felt fine at first but by the evening I was slowly getting more and more achy all over and I had what I can only describe as waves of tiredness wash over me. I did some late washing up and starting making our hot water bottles, both of which I normally do, when I had a massive hot flush and felt really faint. I had to rush upstairs and lie down before I fell down.
I then had 24 hours of feeling physically drained, like someone had turned the gravity up. Then last night, 24 hours or so later, I felt much better. I'm still not 100% but getting there all the time and my arm aches a bit at the injection site but not so much that I can't use it. I deliberately chose my non-dominant arm for the injection. And I do not regret getting it in the slightest. Can't wait for my 2nd so I'm fully done.

3 weeks! Never heard such a thing. Nor the side effects you had. I think you must have something else going on tbh.

no one punched me in the arm that I noticed. I live like a monk.
As I said it's the faintest sensation.
As for the fever and weakness , I often had that with viruses.
This is why I try to avoid the medical profession.
And now I don't need sick-notes any more, it's up to me.

Not liked for the arm hurt, of course, but that you've had your first jab
xIt did make me think of this, though

Can I ask if you heard of vomiting and diarrhoea after astra zeneca?
Now more or less sixty hours since I had Oxford/AZ.
Side-effects?
Largely minimal, bar the early, fairly major, one-evening/night of exhaustion, and some very mild upper-arm pain, both of which had gone by about midday on Friday.
I think I can safely vote 'No side effects'** now! </does so ... >
**To speak of anyway. I could have voted 'Side-effects but gone within 48 hours', I suppose, but I feel too lucky and free-from, to do that!

Very sorry to read this
I hope a reaction like that is very rare, and that she recovers soon. Best of luck

They are down as common side effects on the government leaflet.

So if you can keep it down and in then you're doing okay.

My first symptom was very slight nausea which is very rare for me.

I had that after mine but went away after I ate something, might have been low blood sugar (iny case), I'll never know.

Had mine, Astra-Zenica on Wednesday morning - Felt fine most of the day after but by the time I went to bed, I had a bit of joint pain, mainly hands, arms and shoulders.
Woke-up during the night with a headache and slept fitfully until about seven am when I hit it with painkillers and coffee, then a couple of hours more sleep.
The rest of the day was fine other than no appetite and feeling a bit non-specific iffy and the joint pain was right through me, particularly my feet/ankles but it didn’t stop me doing anything (did some pruning-tyding in the garden, filled a brown bin solidly) until evening when I noticed I was maybe slightly fevered, then the shivers started. They lasted a couple of hours and I went to bed warm and wrapped-up well.
The next day was much better and I was pretty much back to normal by yesterday.

50 hours after my AZ injection I finally feel like I can tick the boxes on the poll. I'd say the side effects were minimal, really. My arm ache is almost gone. The worst I felt was on Saturday night, around 12 hours after the injection. My teeth felt odd, a bit achey (reminded me of how I felt after taking 2CB) and I had a faint headache for some of that day and felt a bit tired.
On Saturday night I had a Lemsip and I felt a bit spaced out, not in a bad way, just a tired, relaxed feeling. I slept quite well on Sat AND Sunday nights, a rare treat. This morning I went for a run (didn't exercise for 48 hours though, or drink - just to give immune system best chance to do its thing) and all was well. On Sunday I had 2 more Lemsips, mostly to deal with arm discomfort.
In conclusion: a happy vaccine experience with minimum discomfort, all gone after 48 hours...

My now complete 1st does Ox/Az experience. I'm in the 55-59 bracket.
Thursday: 1.30 got the jab. Okay at first then started feeling more and more achy overall and by late evening had a hot flush and had to lie down before I fell down.
Friday: All day achy and tired. Slept most of it. No other feelings of headaches or nausea. Felt fine by Friday night. So, 24 hours and I'm done. Yay!
Saturday: Felt okay but with an ache by the injection site in my arm. I felt about 90% of my usual energy levels.
Sunday: Woke up late feeling so tired. Had some lunch. Went back to sleep. Woke up 9pm feeling very tired and groggy. That stuff owes me two days, now.
Monday (today): Woke up feeling 100%. Energy levels back to normal and stayed there no matter what I did. All traces of tiredness and achiness completely gone. What a wild few days. It was fun, can I do it again? Seriously, when compared to others' side effects that I've read on here, sleeping through most of it is the best side effect I could have hoped for.
