Pfizer vaccine - did you have side effects?

My neck is agony, on the left side (injection in long left arm)

Also feel very tired, foggy headed and nauseous. But it's mostly the neck pain that is bothering me.

Has anyone else had this?

Yes I had neck pain on the left side and then later both sides which came with aches in my arms and legs as well. I wouldn't say it was agony though but very uncomfortable. This was after my first shot and happened within half an hour and lasted with headaches about 4 days.
I just had my 2nd shot yesterday and feel.a bit rough but not as bad.

I had mine this week and have some neck pain. It's not terrible but is noticeable. I have mainly had a very sore arm (now better), flu like aches yesterday and slight headache, tiredness and swollen glands plus neck pain (glands?) and slight back ache today. I have had Covid which I think makes the reaction worse. I had long covid and was pretty unwell with the 'acute' bit. I would say if Covid was a 10/10 bad for me (which it felt at the time), vaccine response has been a 2/10 so far! I am expecting this will knock me back for a couple of weeks but will take it easy. @ImFree2doasiwant I would probably consult someone about that pain, it may well be that you were tense when the injection went in or nerve related but I would want some medical advice!

It seems that a lot of us are experiencing this very scary. Also I'm having a horrendously heavy period! Never been so bad.

I just came on to post about my heavy period too. I put on a pad and tampon just over an hour ago to go to local shop and for a walk. Came back soaked through both and my jeans and clots coming out of me. Yikes! Hoping it does not carry on.

Had 1st dose Pfizer Weds morning at 11am. Slight soreness and arm felt a bit heavy also slight headache - but it's been 36°C in the sun and have had sinusitis. Took a paracetamol, had an afternoon nap, next day fine. Also had a slightly metallic taste in my mouth. Had a GP appt this afternoon for sinusitis and we agreed the weird taste was more likely due to my sinuses.

Next dose in 4 weeks and fingers crossed.

Percivalthebabyspider · 19/06/2021 14:21

I had the metallic taste too and have no sinus issues. Very sore arm, from neck to fingers. Headache, fatigue, severe joint pain-especially back, hips and knees that lasted a few weeks but I’m ok now. Glad to have had the vaccine.

I had my first dose on Wednesday and I have been feeling very nauseous! Like morning sickness. I am also exhausted and a bit achy 🤕 not nice at all! I have health anxiety so this is hell for me.
