Vaccine Side Effects - What side effects did you get from your vaccine?

After the first Pfizer shot I was knackered the following day & fell asleep on the sofa after work. The second one had zero effect on me on the other hand. Well my arm was a little sore both times but that's the same as from any vaccine injection I've ever got, a bit of light stretching sorted it out pretty much.

But 2 weeks post doses ? That was the only thing that made me think nah maybe its not

Vaccine: Pfizer

Dose 1: Sore arm

Dose 2: that night I woke up in the middle of the night, I thought I was dying, never felt pain like it in the bones of my body and I was shivering from the cold... Sharp pains in my joints on the side of my body I got the vaccine in.

Nearly a week in, and I am still breaking out in the sweats, proper hot flushes!!! Still have a sore arm and sore shoulders and neck. Now I'm one of those people who is always tired, so the fatigue is nothing new to me, but I'm struggling to sleep lately, with all the above issue :)

Nothing after my first dose of Pfizer except a sore arm for 2 or 3 days. I got the second dose on Tuesday and have the same sore arm but was tired and had a headache last night. Took some ibuprofen but I’m fine today. My arm is still a little sore but even that shouldn’t last long. I got off lightly!

Sore arm with dose 1 Pfizer.

Got dose 2 lunchtime Tuesday. Started to feel crappy after dinner, and that turned into full blown fever and being bed ridden.

Stupidly didn't take anything until lunchtime Wednesday. In an absolute heap until bedtime Wednesday. So much shorter than a real flu or covid.

Moral of the story, try and arrange a day off work next day and for young kids to be minded. If you're not ill, you've bagged a duvet day! Take 2 panadol as soon as you start to feel a fever setting in/feeling bad. Once you get in the bed, it's very hard to get out of it. Bring lots of water/fluids with you.

Had my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on the 27th of last month. Had the usual sore arm for a couple of days, but every day since then I've had a persistent phlegmy build up in my throat that I need to clear every so often, and my breathing feels a little heavy during the day. This is unusual for me under normal circumstances, so it's why I'm putting it down as potential side effects.

Today I feel particularly ****, very tired, headache, slight burning sensation in my chest and throat. As far as I'm aware I haven't been exposed to anyone exhibiting COVID symptoms, so again I'm putting it down to potential side effects of the vaccine. I initially put off getting the vaccine for a month or two and this is the reason why. Dreading the 2nd dose now.

You should go get a COVID test.

Had Pfizer 1st dose yesterday afternoon, got a fever yesterday evening and was feeling tired. Today I started having lower back pain. I also have a sore arm.

Did anyone suffer from lower back pain after getting Pfizer?

Pfizer. No side effects from either dose :)

A week after Jansen ,severe pain in my back neck and shoulders

Another awful nights sleep, hoping this comes to an end sharpish

Update to this - it’s the next day and I feel absolutely fine again. Literally 24 hours of those symptoms and they’re gone. The miracle of science! Drank extra water to give my kidneys some help.

@Amouar lower back pain can be confused with kidney pain and vice versa - and after having a chat with someone yesterday about this they pointed out that your kidneys work hard to eliminate toxins etc from your body when Ill and that’s the probably what mine were doing after the vaccine - makes sense that they tell you to drink loads of water to help flush yourself out after the vaccine. (Not official medical advice, if it still concerns you definitely seek a doctors advice). Hope you’re feeling better!
