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

One of my friends ( younger !) has had the same . Very heavy and more frequent . Her GP said it might be peri menopausal , but she had AZ also .

Absolutely nothing, zero, zilch with both shots of AZ…was sitting around waiting and tbh if anything happened I would have noticed but absolutely nothing…don’t know what this means at all!

About three weeks of being really tired. Fine again now.

Dettol. 40 something male.

Injection site on arm very sore and inflamed. Feel quite nauseous. But 99.9% protected feeling also.

Yeah,just been mad busy the last couple of weeks,my own doctor has a waiting list of three weeks last time I rang,

I did have a small fall off a ladder and stopped myself falling by holding on with my left hand so I was contributing some pains to that

Vaccine: BioNtech-Pfizer

1st dose: sore arm for 2-3 days

2nd dose: less sore arm for 1-2 days

I had something very similar. For 8 weeks after 2nd pfzier jab I had complete loss of power and shooting pain in left arm...not able to lift a kettle/saucepan or reach for something in the fridge e.t.c eventually went to the doctor as was starting to get worried as it wasn't getting any better.

I had a pretty sore arm after the 2nd jab which caused me to hold my arm in a certain position and not move it much which in turn caused a frozen shoulder. This then also led to tennis elbow as I tired to manouver around the sore arm to lift things e.t.c. a cortisone injection into the arm and a tennis elbow physio strap and arm is back to normal after a week.

I was convinced I had nerve damage but thankfully it wasnt too serious and fully treatable.

I have read your posts and is it true you are living in South East Asia or am I wrong in thinking that ? Apologies if so .

This could be a myriad of things from insect bites to an allergy to a vaccine reaction. ( even in Ireland !)

You will have no peace until you know and because of your girlfriend's autoimmune condition you are jumping to the worst case scenario.

Do the usual things . Get it checked by a doctor . Bathe it and put some basic emulsifying ointment or moisturiser on it .

It might just be a skin rash that will resolve and while I understand your stress , rising stress levels tend to make these things worse .

You may need steroid creams or antibiotics / antifungal.

I don't know what shot you got but if there is any question of an allergic reaction this should be notified to your vaccinator as soon as you know one way or the other as you may need a second shot of a different vaccine or some antihistamines/ steroids prescribed when getting it again .

Moderna has been linked to some particular skin reactions alright.

Hope all goes well for you .

Pfizer and developed chronic dermographism urticaria. Started not long after getting the vaccine and never did figure the vaccine in until recently. Was worst a night and as soon as I went to bed it got even worse. The little cotton balls on bed cloths can feel like someone has eaten toast in the the bed and sprinkled crumbs all over it. Heat and pressure and rubbing the skin triggers it and once an area is triggers then I could be scratching for the night, at it's worst I can end up with only an hours worth of sleep. One area will stop and another starts. Have some "hotspots", the inside of the arms especially the lower arms, the outer area of my lower legs, just above the tops of my knees, chest, side of my neck, under the breasts and ribs, and back. Can feel like pin pricks on the skin when triggered and area gets very hot.

I've ruled out food, washing powder etc and seeing others having same problems on medical sites. Now on 2 * 180mg antihistamines to get some relief and control. I shower in the morning and must be cool, might sound funny but I have to wear my bra on inside out because the seams cause problems. Room also must be kept cool. If anything else is having the same problem try the cools rooms, cool showers in the morning if night time is the worst and loose clothes, but see a doctor. Exercise is also a trigger.

2 lots of bloods do show I am having a reaction to something, scratch test is out of the question specifically if I can write rude words on my body and it comes up raised and red. Have been diagnosed with cutaneous lupus is the past. I'm getting pictures etc together and will report to medicines lot.
