I had my covid injection yesterday . The pharmacist said that my arm would be heavy - it wasn't .
The pharmacy was much nicer than my doctor's surgery and I'll have my jabs there in future .
I had felt a bit tired prior to going due to not sleeping well .
When I came out I had tea and some paracetamol as advised .
About five hours later , a throbbing persistent pain began in my mid calf .
I had a poor night with nightmares and the pain eventually passed off .
I'll keep an eye on it .
Never had a reaction like that before .

Hoping Aveline has a new year resolution to be a nicer person and not jumping to wrong conclusions about people.....

I'll be the judge of my own conclusions!

I always have separate vaccines as I always have a dreadful reaction to the Covid vaccine. 🤯😫🤒🥱 One at a time is more than enough for my system. I’m usually fine with the flu vaccine though, which I’ve already had. I need to completely clear my diary of every arrangement for at least five days after the Covid jab. 🙄

My rheumatologist has told me that I have to have every Covid vaccine offered to me as I’m immunosuppressed. I’ve had Covid a few times and she’s told me that the vaccines take the sharp edges off the illness, which I agree with.
