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

[dessiato]

After having the 2nd injection my mother has become jaundiced. Yesterday she was taken to hospital to be checked out because she looks so ill. In herself she is the same awkward so and so she has always been. But she is very yellow.

I don't know if this is common, I don't know which injection she had.

Anyone with information about this?

Oh, has there been a consensus on voting vis a vis two votes - one for I had AZ and one for I had AZ and [etc]? planetgeli

Multiple votes are allowed/necessary on this poll if that's what you mean 5t3IIa

I can't see jaundice listed in the info for Pfizer, Moderna and AZ vaccines - but hopefully it's a transient issue that will be sorted quickly.

Pfizer nearly twenty four hours ago and no side effects except a surprisingly sore arm.

 

[BigMoaner]

Had Pfizer yesterday with only saw arm as side affect

Thanks for that. She has to go back to the hospital today. I suspect it will turn out to be a non-alcohol related fatty liver problem from talking to a nurse I know.

This REALLY feels like a hangover. I haven't had an alcoholic drink in over 3 years ffs.

i stopped 17 years ago (and drugs), it gets better and better if you're in for the long haul. good luck.

Thanks. And well done on such a long stretch of sobriety yourself- that's awesome. Yeah, I love being sober. My life's improved immeasurably since I packed it in.

Today's reminded me how shit I felt a lot of the time. Wouldn't go back to that now if you paid me.

 

[BigMoaner]

it's one of the vastly underrated things in our culture imo. the "need to escape" gets less and less as time goes on and life can be fully enjoyed for what it is.

Not a side-effect as such - more no effect - had first AZ vaccine 8/9 weeks ago and according to the Imperial finger prick test I still have no anti-bodies.

Where are my anti-bodies

I think that some antibody tests only detect those caused by the virus & not those caused by the vaccine.

No, the test said it was to identify antibodies provided by either virus/vaccine. It’s silly, and obvs I’ll still have my second jab, but I feel a bit deflated.

Different people will have different levels of response to a vaccine - that's normal and to be expected. Some blood test results will vary quite a bit depending on other things, such as time of day or if you've got another infection, etc. So it may be a blip that doesn't represent the true picture.

I guess they might advise you to have a booster shot at some point.

 

[marshall]

True, and I’ve got my second in a couple of weeks. I’m sure I’m not alone in having no antibodies after the first jab though. Odd. To me, with no real medical expertise to draw on.

Why did you have an antibody test without medical supervision?

Since they mentioned Imperial finger prick test I assume they are part of a more recent round of this: Coronavirus antibody prevalence falling in England, REACT study shows | Imperial News | Imperial College London

Imperial sent me one in the post, randomly selected, easy to self-administer, result in ten mins, took a photo of the ‘test stick’, then uploaded it to their site.

I got one today too. Put forward by my GP. I don't know how I can upload result to their website as I don't have a smartphone. Well I do have a cheap one I bought five years ago and never used. It's charging up now, and if I can work out how to take pic and upload to pc I will do the test tomorrow.

 

[dessiato]

Now I'm getting concerned. Mother is still in hospital and they don't know what the problem is, just that it started after the second injection.

 

[LDC]

How long after dessiato ?

 

[dessiato]

How long after dessiato ?

I think about four or five days.

 

[LDC]

Be interested to see what the Drs say, I'd say it's not related to the vaccine if I had to bet.

Had AZ 6hrs ago, too soon to say how it's going to be. Feel like I'm waiting to come up on a bad pill!

 

[dessiato]

Bit of an update on my mother’s situation. Her problem is not related to either the vaccine or Covid. She has cancer, and has been given days to live.

Sorry to derail the thread. At first it seemed to be very closely linked to the vaccine due to the coincidence of her getting it and becoming ill.
