Which jab did you have - Astra Zeneca or Pfizer? And what side effects?

[spitfire]

Had the AZ at 10.30 this morning, so far so good. Feel a little sleepy but I woke at up at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep.

Same, bit sleepy, lethargic, not sure if I'm just indulging myself or if it's real.

 

[Sasaferrato]

It does eem very random then.

We got texts earlier inviting us to book jabs at the GP's surgery. Mrs Spy was urged to call them first because she's had occasional anaphylactic shocks. She just called them and was just told to make the doctor aware that she's had reactions before, which sounds like pretty lame advice.

Anyone else been in a similar situation?

It's the AZ vaccine.

Anaphylaxis is a possibility in any vaccination. Prior to commencing a vaccination parade, you had adrenaline drawn up and ready.

 

[Sasaferrato]

We had Pfizer, no effects other than a slightly tender arm for a day or two. Next one on Saturday.

I’m really hungry too.

I’m really hungry too.

Me too!

Have my 1st booked for Saturday, just read the last few pages and it looks like I should probably see about cancelling plans made for the Monday.

Sore arm people, could you still drive fine ?

Yes. Sore is bigging it up a bit, 'vague slight ache' would be a better description.

Yes fine, just felt bruised, as if I’d bashed it quite hard.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Yes. Sore is bigging it up a bit, 'vague slight ache' would be a better description.

But, that's with the pfizer one, a lot of people are reporting far worst side effects with the AZ one, mind you, I got away with it scott free, not even a sore arm.

 

[moochedit]

Still no side effects for me (AZ first jab). Not even a ache in my arm. Coming up to about 21 hours now.

All of this for me today - utterly useless, just thick and knackered, had to tell the boss I wouldn't be likely to get anything done, now spent a few hours dozing on the bed. And definitely weirdly hungry dunno what that's about.

eta: also thirsty, feel a bit dehydrated

 

[flypanam]

So I had a rough night, chills came on at about 8pm. Really bad nights sleep and I feel like I want to vomit. Headache like a christmas hangover.

I forgot to book the day off work, so I'm getting a cab this morning. Hoping not to throw up in the cab. It's going to be a long day of lone working.

 

[May Kasahara]

Husband had the AZ on Monday, spent all of yesterday in bed feeling shit or sleeping, is back to normal today.

 

[Brainaddict]

Had AZ yesterday. Been feeling a bit woozy and slightly nauseous since last night. I'm still quite functional but think I'll cancel my plan to go out for the day as I'm a bit worried I could take a turn for the worse halfway through the day.

 

[Brainaddict]

I’m really hungry too.

Me too! I almost never finish a whole pizza as it's too much dough for me but I steamed through one last night. Woke up starving.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Still not right from the AZ on Monday (tired, dizzy, can't concentrate, headachy) - bit early to tell whether better than yesterday, though doesn't feel worse so far. I wasn't too bad Tuesday morning but it got worse over the day.

Based on my own case I'd advise that, was useless in the afternoon. Particularly if you're driving.

 

[Signal 11]

I had the second AZ on Sunday and haven't had any side effects.

nice one. You need to make a yes vote here

Have you had the vaccine WITH POLL

Partner and Stepdad both booked in for jabs this weekend (1st and 2nd, respectively) now. That light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter. :oldthumbsup: OH had 1st Astra-Zeneca jab yesterday and feels a bit wonky this morning. Nothing major, just a bit knackered and says food tastes a...

and spitfire needs to change his no to a yes

 

[lazythursday]

Partner had AZ yesterday late afternoon, later had a few beers, today nursing the worst shivery hangover known to mankind.

 

[Poot]

Because i am a special snowflake, i had two doses of the Janssen vaccine. No side effects.

 

[Clair De Lune]

Had the pfizer yesterday at around 7pm. No side effects so far, bar a raised temp and an achey arm muscle but that's to be expected. I will update if anything changes.

I must say I did feel relieved to hear I was getting the pfizer after reading and hearing so many people feeling rotten after AZ. Sorry so many of you have felt so rough

 

[spitfire]

Couldn’t get out of bed today, slightly sore arm. May have been exacerbated by booze but I don’t feel like I’ve got a hangover. Getting back into the swing now.

I could probably vote no side effects but there were some minor ones.

I meant you to vote in the vaccine poll I linked to, not this one btw.

I did both because I am a good boy!

This encouraged me to look at my temperature. It's currently 37.0, which probably sounds normal but it isn't for me. I'm usually between 36 and 36.5, not uncommonly dropping below 36.

I didn't measure mine but it was obvious as I looked flushed and wasn't feeling cold as I usually do lately.

And now I did the 3rd one which i think is the one you wanted me to vote in the first place. Hard work this voting lark, blimey.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Had the AZ last Saturday and felt fine except for some slight numbness in my hand, and a feeling of extreme tiredness for about 48 hours.
