How were you after the first jab? I'm getting my first Monday.
First I was fine, second really struggled
Really struggled how @cochise?
Seems like it may effect you youngsters more than old dinosaurs like me, but I havent had my 2nd AZ jab yet.
My niece who just recently turned 50 was knocked around for about a week after her 2nd AZ jab.
I don't want to put people off getting the jab, but it knocked me around for about 4 days.
About 12 hours after my 2nd dose I started with headaches and cognitive foggyness. I really couldn't think straight for about 2 days, I also had blurred vision on the 1st night.
Then just tiredness headaches and feeling off for about 4 days. Today is really the 1st day I have felt 100%
I feel for you mate - I have friends at work who experienced similar symptoms from the second Pfizer shot. I was surprisingly ok - nothing more than feeling tired the next day and by dinner time, I was back to normal.
I would still recommend people to get the vaccine. It didn't change my opinion on that at all.
Agreed - its an imperative IMHO
I am now fully vaccinated and had virtually zero side effects. My wife - mild to moderate for one day - everyone's immune system responds differently to all vaccines - it just fact. Still completely outweighs any downsides (statistically speaking )
Completely agree mate, its why I'm a little reluctant to tell people I had side effects.
Yeh...with great respect @cochise I fully realise you dont want to put people off, but if you dont tell people the **truth** of possible side effects [in a respectful way] what is said could be seen as fake news.
I'm sure most of us on here are adult enough therefore responsible enough to make a decision one way or the other re getting the jabs.
If someone on here is 50/50, but then decide 'to do the right thing' and go ahead and get the jabs which causes bad side effects, they would have cause to regret it deeply.
But later go on to read a post of yours stating you did indeed have bad side effects, they may well have cause to blame you for their pain and suffering.
There was a pop group called the B-52's [probably way before you were born] that had a great track called "Tell it-Tell it-Tell it like it T-I-IS''...with respect.
Which is why I did convey my story. I know who the B-52s are, one of the female singers, Kate Pierson, is the woman singing on the Iggy Pop song "Candy"
Thanks for the info re Iggy Pop...was he also Gay?
