Anyone having a reaction to Covid Vaccination now we are several months from first jab?

Hi Lyndylou,
I am a long term sufferer of several autoimmune conditions, including psoriatic arthritis which I’ve had for over 35 years. I had my 2nd Pfizer vaccination early April after a year of shielding. About 10 days afterwards I had a huge flare up and my whole body was in agony. It was so bad that I emailed my clinical rheumatology nurse and said it felt like my immune system was suddenly turbocharged. As a result they called me in for my first face to face appointment. Apparently they have had several reports of this happening. It was explained to me that the vaccine causes the immune system to react, which is positive considering I’m on a number of immune suppressant medication. But it then goes on to attack everything else. They are hoping it will settle down on its own, but they gave me a steroid injection, which hasn’t done anything to help. So it is something they’re becoming aware of. I would still opt to have the vaccine though.

Just an after thought. Just because someone has medical qualifications, does not mean that their concerns about the vaccines are well-based.

No, better than long Covid if we do,

Had 2 doses of AZ with no reaction to either of them.

I had side effects with both az vaccination 2 nd one worst and I know a lot of people that have had the same symptoms

Had 2 doses of AZ, sore arm after second jab but that's all.

Dh and I have had Pfizer and AstraZeneca and neither of us experieced any symptoms other than tiredness on the second or third day. Dd had an unpleasant reaction for a day or two after the second dose. She tested herself for Covid as she felt quite poorly but it was negative. We have a large family and of the 11 of us there's been only this one reaction. Not heard of any other adverse reactions from our friendship groups.

Meta .... What is the Zoe Program please?

No lasting side effects from astra zenica

It maybe a coincidence but I have noticed a lot more joint pain to what I normally get. In different joints too, since I had my first one in March.
Also as I have mentioned before on here, I had a swollen lymph node along my collar bone which was there for 6 weeks. I had my 2nd one yesterday evening, at the moment I have a headache and feeling a bit warm & I did notice some palpitations in the night.

My arm has been aching since 1st jab, worse after 2nd about a month ago. I can't hold a hairdryer properly and have difficulty doing my bra up. Can't reach up to open windows either. Otherwise all OK.

Have had 2 AZ jabs . No side affects at all .

Well, who knows if it is connected but i have had palpitations 11 days after my first vacc in February and am still getting them. I now have high BP where as 21 months ago I was on a average of 33/? I'd like to know if anyone has had this happen.

Don't forget vaccination doesn't actually stop you from getting the disease, it just allieviates the symptoms.

NOT TRUE. Some vaccinated people will still get covid but will get it less severely. Its possible to carry the virus in your mucous membranes even if you have been vaccinated because you have been in contact with it. BUT Most people who have been vaccinated will have a response which kills the virus as it enters their bodies. This means that the virus will not replicate and they are far far less likely to infect others but also and more importantly, the virus cannot mutate, multiply and leave the host body so vaccinated people are far far less likely to shed mutated virus. No vaccine is 100% effective but its much more important and effective than just suppressing symptoms in those who are vaccinated. Please please stop spreading rubbish.

AZ
1st one early March: 5 weeks of severe headaches from first night and aching eyes that eventually have gone away.
2nd two weeks ago: bit of a headache but other than that nothing! ?‍♀️

1st AZ sore arm, but always get that with the flu jab
2nd AZ sore-ish arm but that was all.
Don't know of anyone else with problems.

Pfizir , first one late April, second one yesterday, no
problems

Don't forget vaccination doesn't actually stop you from getting the disease, it just allieviates the symptoms.

1st dose AZ terrible shaking from head to toe and migraine. 2nd dose migraine and sore throat.

Had AZ and after first one felt very off colour. Cold, shivering, felt sick and awful headache. Had 2nd on on Sunday and a bit spaced out day after and tired but fine now. Different for everyone I think.

I’ve had both jabs sore arm for a day etc that’s it. Pfizer both done and dusted by 20th April my birthday ? both my sons and daughter inlaws all between 34-37 had first one also Pfizer no problems with them 4. Tell her to think of the patients she is dealing with. I have arthritis.

I had a bad reaction to the 1st vaccination, AZ, but it didn't stop me having the 2nd. I had a mammogram just before my 2nd jab and they asked which arm I had my vaccination in, apparently the vaccination makes your lymph nodes swell and can affect the results. I have also read comments elsewhere about the after effects of this vaccination and someone asked if it had been reported on the NHS yellow card. I had never heard of this, it's for people having reactions to vaccinations.

1st one - flu symptoms - bad headache, chills, fever for 2 days then fine.
2nd one - more tired than usual - slept a lot.

Had AZ.

Worth it not to get covid/long covid

Sore arm after first AZ jab, felt a bit off colour the next day. Had second jab on Sunday and got a slightly sore arm but nothing else. I don’t know anyone who has had problems with it at all.

**eating = raring
Ps my appetite has diminished- not a bad thing in my case ?
