Feeling utter shite after 2nd Pfizer

Did anyone else feel rough as arseholes?

Arm is killing, and have the most annoying persistent headache, I almost feel hungover. I feel groggy and full of woe.

Ugh.

I felt like this after the second moderna. I took about six LF tests just to make sure o can’t actually picked up covid in the meantime. It was utterly grim.

I had a horrible headache that lasted 2 days & painkillers didn't do anything for it. Also felt a bit queasy. Then felt ok again on day 3. V glad to have had vaccine though.

I'm very grateful to have had it, I think I'm just being paranoid.

I took a test this morning too just to check I didn't actually have covid.

It's just started really pouring with rain and I'm tempted to go lie in the garden to cool down in it.

Nope, had mine on Saturday morning and no I'll effects. Even the sore arm was gone by Sunday evening.

I felt awful for three days after my second Moderna. My MIL felt awful for two days after her second Pfizer. My husband was completely unaffected after his second AZ.

I felt worse after my second one as well. Temp so high it was making me vomit. Luckily only lasted 24 hours.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Yes I had all the common side effects - awful headache, chills and aches, nausea, tiredness. Everything was gone within 48 hours other than the nausea which lasted a little bit longer. My arm is still a bit sore now though and that's day 6! DH hasn't had his yet as he is younger than me, I've told him to plan to have the next day off work.

Second Pfizer was hideous. Sore arm, sore head, chills, no appetite, lightheaded and exhausted. But all over 36 hours later.

heatwavehell · 20/07/2021 16:30

yes, for 1 day the day after the vaccination, but one paracetamol made me feel so much better, guess 2 paracetamol would have been even better!
Felt totally fine again the next day.
Congrats on being fully vaccinated

I felt nothing after either of my Pfizer jabs. I am wondering if it worked.

OddestSock · 20/07/2021 16:48

I slept almost the entire day the day after my 2nd pfizer. I had the chills, fever and was exhausted.
