Vaccine And Sickness

[rcs]

Hi i post regularly on other forums for GAD it has been a few years since on here and my health is generally OK but the last couple of months i have had some problems and last night was a problem after receiving the AstraZeneca injection yesterday i have had sore bones, fever and shivery.
I think with all the latest media attention it has had and then getting a bit anxious yesterday and then these side effects are making me very anxious and i have been nauseas during the night. I read the leaflets i got when attending and they explain side effects but after recovering from a back injury last month and now covid like symptoms which i know are going to go away in 48 hours it has set of my health anxiety.

Several years ago i caught norovirus and had 2 days being miserable on top of some bad anxiety i really had a bad couple of weeks and this is similar to that. I have a lot of work to catch up on after my back injury which is healed but i am conscious it will come back with these aches and pains over the last 24 hours and plus being stuck at home without too much contact with family and friends the last week has been tough .
Anyway i am actually feeling slightly better after drinking lots of tea and taking paracetamol and i will see what the day brings and try to be positive i have the vaccine in my system.

I had my covid vaccination last Friday, but have aches and pains...headache, tired, hot and cold, it’s now Tuesday so not sure if that’s normal....

My dad had those very symptoms for about the same duration after his (first) OAZ jab back in February.

Doesn't sound anything like the complications that the media have been making a song and dancing over recently, especially in mainland Europe.

It will pass quickly rcs, and I bet you start to feel better within the next 24 hours. I know 2 people who have had the immune response for more than 48 hours, which can happen, everyone is different, but everyone else has had similar to you for around 24 hours at its worst.

My sister-in-law had the AZ vaccine a month or so ago and had exactly these symptoms for the same period. She's fine now, so I'd say you have nothing to worry about.

Hope that helps.

48hrs seems to be information i got and everyone is different with underlying conditions and anxiety can play a part as well....
I am better as the day goes on just a minor health scare and anxiety playing up

Thanks for Replies ..............

mine with 1st pfizer lasted max 5 days, 48hrs with 2nd dose

Remember, its isn't true 'illness' that is being experienced, but an immune response to the vaccine contents - it can go no further than a certain point, and that point is once your immune system is starting to send signals to create antibodies.

That's odd, as I had my first Pfizer jab on 16th February, and apart from a bit of a painful arm for a couple of days, I don't recall having any 'real' side-effects.

Perhaps it was just a case of pot luck for me, though I guess there's still the odd chance I might end up getting some kind of side-effects following my second (Pfizer) jab.

But I'm not really worrying about it.
