Still don’t feel very good today so I’m just taking paracetamol every 4 hours which has helped slightly. Im very reluctanf to have 2nd dose ive kept free of any illness for last 11 months i feel like we are guinea pigs. I read a lot of similar comments on this forum but not many on how long it too to improve. I begged my husband not to call an ambulance as, if I were to die wanted to die at home. I’ve had covid before quite badly so is this why the symptoms are weird? After two hours felt extremely tired & weak. At 5.30pm I started to feel bad. Had the Oxford jab this morning at around 10am felt quite spaced out after and tired legs and opposite arm felt a bit achey but that was it. Shivers and muscle aches. I posted the same problem on the 22nd March 2021 . I had restlessness night and my body felt it had been punched all over and I had a headache. I already have health issues I don’t need anymore to worry about. This argument nearly went as viral as COVID. Can’t go through this again…. So please, carry on sharing your experiences, discuss the doubts you have and let’s talk about it. I had no trouble with my Pfizer Biontec jab. I had my Oxford AZ jab exactly two weeks ago and I’m still getting bad pins and needles in my left arm and hand (the side where the vaccine was administered), and I also occasionally get tingling in my lips and face and a tight feeling in my chest (although I suspect that that is just anxiety). I have suffered with high BP also week after jab. Sorry to hear so many of you have been through the mill suffering adverse side effects. 2. a numbness or feeling of ‘weight’ in my forehead, right eye and occasionally on the top of my head I felt very fluey but it’s been 3 weeks since my jab. and was sick ….. but also the headache was bad and I’m a migraine sufferer so I think I missed my ‘window of opportunity” to take my tablet? I fell asleep and awoke abruptly at 5.30am with flu-like symptoms and a pounding heart (110bpm), but I was not panicking or feeling anxious. Hi Cathy There are people out there that do suffer with shorter attention span for God sake, thick! Would welcome any feedback. Or where you all just shooshooed and left to suffer? Starting to feel bit better but still Fibro is a daily tough, but covid scares me still. But….48 year old nephew died at Christmas, very healthy, slim, fit, no health issues so we will be taking both doses. Took paracetamol and went to bed mid afternoon for the night. By this evening I feel like I’m still recovering from a huge exercise session but my arm is still swollen, but today has gone warm and about a two inch red patch has now appeared my arm and shoulder still hurt. Hopefully coincidental or possibly due to the amount of Nurofen I chewed through yesterday. Just rang 111 and the doctor was so nice. I could not have proper sleep that night. Within a couple of hours I felt like Satan himself had come for me – it was like the worst flu I’ve ever had. Palpitations sometimes waking me up in the middle of the night. Taking second jab in April so painkillers from the start next time , not many have mentioned the increased heart beat rate that concerned me the most. No swelling or redness on arm and just a slight ache in the shoulder . I am so glad that I decided to bite the bullet and go for the second jab! The purpley red arm was very apparent so I took antihistamines and it resolved. Feel really yukky but the doctor on site said you could expect to feel poorly the next day. Reduced heart rate And as you know, fibro does like to exasperate all ailments. I expected my symptoms to subside however this has not been the case . I really sympathise with you having a rotten experience, but it’s really not a good idea to decide against having your second dose (which may well be one of the other types of vaccine anyway) or any others that may become relevant to you over the years. We discovered today that yet another country is not giving Astrazeneca to their elderly. I had the astrazenica vaccine. I had a slight temperature the following day and it was okay until day 4. Surprisingly none of the other people I received tye vaccine with had these symptoms, only slight headache, sore arm and very slight chills. That was over a week ago and still have it. I had my AZ vaccine on 10th March and I’m still getting bad pins and needles in my arm, hand and face, but blood tests and checkups at hospital have found nothing. Hope you feel better soon. The main thing was he totally accepted all of my symptoms and never tried to fob me off. I am very disappointed in their response. I’ve suffered for 2 weeks, it has been horrendous and only reading what other It was a very long night . Now feeling cold (but not in an ill way) and am wrapped in a blanket trying to warm up. Since then I have had rib pain, crippling exhaustion and gastric issues. I do finally feel that it’s resolving slowly but still not looking forward to dose 2 even though I know it’s a must!! Yes I had my vaccine 20 days ago and can still feel a full achey pain in my arm. My hands and fingertips have felt numb and cold to the bone. However, I would rather have side effects for a day or so, instead of contracting this terrible illness that many have had to deal with. It started when I woke up with what I can only describe as a bad hangover (I don’t drink) dizziness nausea was persistent from this point, although it comes and goes and sometimes worse than others. For instance, it is very, very normal (over one in ten people) for someone to feel some negative symptoms after the AstraZeneca vaccine. I had most of side effects, the nausea and fatigue lasted for around 3 weeks but this taste thing is just weird. It’s Saturday again…pain down left side turned to strange numbness..pain.. .still there…might try dialling nhs111 tomorrow,if things don’t improve..I’ve given up with cocodamol & the 15mg codeine tabs.. So hoping things would get back to normal, it’s now over a month since my AZ jab! It has been modified to look more like Coronavirus. Today, day 4 post ​jab I almost feel back to normal. I share your feelings. It helps to hear others are experiencing side effects like me. I am 63 Got Ehlers-danlos, diabetes, heart issues, UA thyroid but all controlled and I am usually well and active. I run most days(or did) but now I feel I’ve aged 20 years. That said I continued to have some fuzzy head feeling and then started getting a more migrainefeeling consistently, rib pain and numb tingly hands and light hurt my eyes for some reason. But as yet I have not heard of a GP or Consultant Of any Medical problems say . So maybe look where is giving this one and go for that instead. I was very scared. And acutally frightening. I started getting dry mouth after 8hrs then after 12hrs got fever 38.2 this was ongoing for about 4hours then I went cold and my whole body ache! No worries about the 2nd jab. Started to feel bit better. I knew there was a chance of side effects for a few days but considered it was worth the risk to support more vulnerable people and help us all get back to a more normal life. Determined to have my 2nd jab though because why go through this for nothing . I called my friend-teachers and this is the same with them. Had terrible migraines for days with all the other side effects like numb hand , racing heart, fatigue , chills and aches. I was starting to think I had caught some other virus since getting my AZ vaccine as I have been feeling pretty shabby since I had mine 2 weeks ago. I share my story also and hopefully getting some answers along with it. Worried about how I was going to phone in work next day for being off sick as could not see how I could physically do that. Hi please reconsider. Still getting weird pains in neck and various places, but soooo happy to have some hope and not just to be making plans as if I were going to die alone in hospital. No such hope,,,,,,,,,,,it’s now been 13 days and I fell ill just 10 hours after having the vaccine (Astra Zenica) . You can rest and take the normal dose of paracetamol (follow the advice in the packaging) to help you feel better. I then felt ok for a few days before waking up with a lot of mucus, sore throat, dizziness and nausea. Have the effects wore off yet? I feel headachey always, neck hurts and vision is double if I focus to long or blurry for both at times. On 3rd day, my aches are gone. I am still suffering with side effects of the Vaccination I received 4 weeks ago. I had bad shakes and shivering about 12 hours after Zeneca jab , couldn’t get warm , feel a bit better today but scary . I’m a vaccinator, it also happened to me. Good luck! I wonder if BMI is a factor in the severity of side-effects. I didn’t eat but was sick the next morning after cup of tea. Is 1 month+ short term? How will everyone benefit if WTO members sign the TRIPS COVID-19 waiver? I’m worried. I have had lots of ear problems since my vaccination. How are you now? I had very similar problems and now two weeks on I am still suffering some issues. Normally I’m a very active person, but this has taken over my life. If so, cloud you suggest me what should I do? Your GP practice will make arrangements for you to have your vaccination at home and contact you when it is your turn. Felt like I had flu at the beginning, but these latest effects still with me. Within a couple of hours I felt extremely tired, flu-like and hot, which I was expecting as this happens with the flu jab (but side effects from that jab last around 36 hours). I would have liked a CT scan however it was not offered to me. Definitely worried about 2nd Oxford jab . I had Astra zenica vaccine midday in January and then at 2.00am I was woken by very violent shaking, my temperature was 37.5, I felt dreadful and the shaking continued for three hours. The next day had headache and raised temperature, but the head pain wasn’t too bad. Will contact you in the next 6 HOURS!!!! They have been able to tweak existing vaccines as opposed to creating an entirely new one, which has reduced the time needed to ‘create’ it. I can’t say I’m looking forward to the 2nd vaccine at all, especially as I’ve heard that the effects may be worse than the 1st, which I’m hoping is really not the case! Horrible feeling. Hello Emma I have posted on here and was about to fill in the yellow card ,had az 5th march 9.30 am by 8pm I was shaking chills running to the loo feeling sick pins needles in face ulcers in mouth numb feeling as been to dentist headache dizziness tiredness and it goes on I’ve spoken to 2 GPS and first thinks it was initially side effects but probably picked up another viral infection the second GP yesterday not anything to do with jab ,but we will do some blood tests which carnt be done till 6th April ,I’m on day 15 of feeling terrible reading these comments has in a way reassurred me as I’ve been so scared ,my eyes are also blurry, thanks.

After about 40 mins they subsided followed by a temperature. Cant taste sweet food! My controlled arthiritis has flared up all over my body. Did they localized dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness? I had the Astrazenica jab more than 3 weeks ago and am still chronically tired every day. keep hydrated but have the jab if you can honestly im mardy but was fine. I was OK till 11 PM. Plus total exhaustion. Tests: ekg echo bloodtests fine. Far more sensible to put everyone’s mind at rest and publish that there are a lot more side effects than the usual fatigue slight sore arm and feeling feverish! Like I wrote above before, I\ve had a lot of awful side effects for weeks now. For the Pfizer trial, participants included 9.6% black/African, 26.1% Hispanic/Latino and 3.4% Asian. They sent me away in tears to get migraine pills, which aren’t working. How are you now June, I am 18 days in and still have racing heart, weak, shaky, tired short of breath. The side of my hand is aching too. Wash your hands, cover your face and keep your distance from people. Not nice but as long as it protects him from COVID then still worth it.
