Low level long term reactions to the Covid jab

Hi, sorry I don’t even know if this is allowed in here but I’m just curious.

I had my two covid vaccines over the summer and about 2-3 weeks after each vaccine I had about a week of being a write off, I had all the symptoms of long Covid and then as quickly as they appeared they’d disappear (about 7-10 days). I thought there was something seriously wrong with me the first time it happened when I didn’t know (or at least think I know) the cause, I cried most days and rang the GP for a blood tests, I was so tired and my body ached amongst lots of other issues. When it happened a second time I realised it could have been the jabs.

However despite feeling better now for months each time I get ill since (and I have a toddler who comes home with everything under the sun) my body seems to react totally different to how it used to, I’ve had 2-3 colds since August and in each one my glands have swollen and/or hurt and then as soon as I’m better they go down again. This literally hasn’t happened to me since I was a child and even that was for stuff like tonsillitis etc., not a cold.

I’m not anti-vaxx and I am still happy with my decision to get the vaccine, but I’m just wondering if anyone else had any weird side effects? My periods were also totally messed up for the months I had the jab.

I had eye-strain type of headaches for weeks after my second. Quite sickening, I couldn't look at a screen without hours of nausea. Two colleagues had very similar. I've recently had my third primary dose. The headaches aren't quite as bad, but really bad enough. Both second and third vaccines took me a long time to get over, and the headaches didn't fully go away ever after the second vax which was in January.

Second jab the nurse stuck the needle in too high -- so it went into my shoulder joint instead of the muscle. I have had pain and mobility issues in that shoulder ever since! Only starting to get better now after several months.
Second jab also gave very bad joint pain that lasted a whole week.

I do not want a third booster shot!!!!
