Good to hear Jansman, one thing less for her to worry about. If it gives her peace of mind then it's a good thing.

Got my first jab a week ago.

Got mine last week too . Anyone had any side effects? I had a bit of unsettled sleep the night after but no aches , pains or anything else. Mrs G seems to have the same problem with sleep although that might be down to other things. I ran into a friend yesterday , he had no side effects but his twin brother was sick for a couple of days.

I had a 48 hour migraine after my first jab
when it comes to catastrophic events, we never know when the day before is the day before. So we prepare for tomorrow

My son and his GF had it last wednesday. They both felt terrible with headache and shivers on Thursday and very tired Friday.
Being a caring dad, I left it till Sunday to get them round and help me shift 800kg of ballast.

Hi people,

Haven't been on for a while. Went through a marriage separation.

I got the vaccine 2 weeks ago. Had a really bad reaction to it. Was sweating although felt cold. constantly vomiting. couldn't take a sip of water. Was advised to make my way to A & E. When I got there I could hardly stand. Whilst being assessed I took What was described later on as an episode.

Woke up in resus with loads of people working on me. Was given a drip for fluids and anti sickness medicine. Staff in resus were amazing. very caring and compassionate. They said that I was unfortunately one off the 1 in 100.000 to have a nasty reaction to the vaccine.

Spent 24 hrs in hospital before being released.

Being allergic to penicillin and having accidentally been given it in the past. I know how you can react to allergies. But this vaccine was horrendous. I have never experienced anything like it. I'm just glad I made it to hospital in time. As a result of my reaction to it. I am reluctant to take up the 2nd dose. Thankfully my reaction to it is a rare event and the majority of people have no bad reactions like I did.

I'm sorry to hear the vaccination was so rough for you, and about your separation. Tough times.
