To ask what vaccine side effects you had?

Not intended to be a debate on whether or not to get the vaccine, just purely interested in people's side effects and which particular vaccine they had? I'm finally taking the plunge today after much deliberation and being really unsure due to breastfeeding a baby and severe anxiety. But I'm very worried about how I'm going to feel afterwards and whether I'll feel well enough to care for my baby. Any experiences?

AZ in March and May. 1st one - horrid sore arm for a week but no side effects. 2nd one - within 24 hrs felt like death warmed up with blinding headache, back ache and crushing pains in upper thighs/hips. Still suffering 4/5 months on..... and getting really pissed off with it. Permanent low grade headache and hip pain.

I want to punch anyone who says that vaccination should be mandatory. I hugely regret having it.

AZ.
Absolutely nothing on either.

I had AZ both jabs I had no side effects at all.
My whole family has been fully vaccinated with AZ and only my oldest son had any side effect and that was just 24 hours of feeling mild flu like symptoms. He went to bed and slept it off and felt fine the next day.

Had mine at 830 in the morning, felt fine all day but then around 5am woke up with pain in my arm, not long after that developed a migraine like headache and felt really bunged up and was like that for the rest of the day but the following day I was fine apart from the arm which was painful from shoulder to elbow for about 3 days

2nd vaccine no reaction at all

AZ 1st vaccine - sore arm, feeling woozy/lightheaded and a hey, and stomach cramps and diarrhoea
AZ 2nd vaccine - nothing!
I had Covid between 1st and 2nd vaccine

Pfiizer, slight temp after the first, nothing after the second, except my periods which are usually 28-30 days and super light have changed to 23-36 days and sticky/clotty as hell.

I had Pfizer and after the first dose I felt tired and had a bit of a sore arm.
After the second dose I again felt tired and a sore arm but the soreness spread down that arm to my hand and up my neck. Also had a sore swollen armpit. Was nothing I couldn't bare though and it took a few days to settle
