I have had this sort of thing come and go, come and go. You are likely very ok.

I LOVE this reply. It made me think about my current crop of symptoms, which is severe digestion problems; constant reflux, LPR, and a feeling that I'm full all the time so I'm eating less. It's so bad I have to sit up almost vertically to sleep or I end up coughing and choking on reflux. I had...

Hi BloodMoon I guess we got each other over the line, somehow! :) Yes, I too found husband not much help and made things worse. I looked up Taffix and OMG I would need to take out a small personal loan for it! I did however find one similar in my own country at about 1/3 the price. Also, the...

Hey there, great to hear you're doing ok. I think if you haven't had stronger side effects by now, they're not going to come, though you may feel an odd twitch or something here and there. Yes, hang onto the statistical study - this is what I do too when fears start up, I remind myself that of...

Hey there, how are you faring?

Hi BloodMoon I am SO pleased to hear that you found that study. If you get side effects, just remember, they will pass, which is what freaked me out the first time - feeling like they wouldn't. Because they didn't match the hand-out sheet, (which listed about, oh, five of them, I freaked when...

UPDATE So I got my second shot on Saturday and I was much, much better this time. I did crash on Sunday with fatigue and didn't want to get out of bed for a few hours, but by Monday morning I was doing well. Tuesday morning I was ready to work out again. Recommendations: paracetamol, food...

Yes, that response is frustrating. "It's rare, so it can't happen to you" = also, "I can't be bothered considering it". When I was 27 I was Dxed with a rare infection after getting a tooth removed. It was so rare that the doctor who Dxed it said, "You're lucky, I haven't seen a case of this in...

Yes, I remember well bozo Boris ending up in hospital. I thought catching it might change his approach. Sorry you ended up with him. I have a friend in the UK, she caught alpha, then had AZ and had a long reaction (a week), had the second AZ, less reaction, then recently she caught Delta and it...

I'm glad you are enjoying this conversation; it's helped me a lot, too. Whilst I have moved to a calmer place now, I did the worst thing possible the last 3 days - got stuck online reading and watching videos and terrified myself again about the vaccine and all the negative stories scared me...

your long reply; you've clearly done a lot of research and I appreciate receiving the benefit of that. You mention the trials and the placebo reactions; as I get further and further away from my date of vaccine, I'm thinking more and more that many of my reactions were a fear reaction. Or, the...

Hi BloodMoon Thank you for

Thank you Andy, for replying, I think just having people acknowledge this has been helpful. I've felt so alone. There's such a push push push for vaccine at the moment that having what I think was a negative reaction when it's supposed to be such a good thing has made me feel very much on the...

Thank you for this. I agree, a delay might settle me down. The issue is it's hard to get Pfizer in Australia, the vaccine rollout has been a shambles. I'm lucky to have gotten my first dose 2 weeks ago (it will be 21 days for the 2nd). I'm lucky in that that I do not have to go anywhere and can...

Hi all I am wondering if anyone has had problems with the vaccine triggering or exacerbating symptoms. I've just been through a horrible time, am due for my next vaccine in a wee and am looking for stories and reassurance or ways to cope. I got my first Pfizer vaccine 2 weeks ago. I was happy...
