Have any of you had any unexpected/unlisted side effects from the vaccine?

I'd be interested to hear as more and more of us are vaccinated, if anyone has experienced side effects which were not included in the list on the leaflet.

I had the Pfizer vaccine last Tuesday and had a bit of a sore arm for 24 hours or so, then that seemed to be it. On Friday morning (so around 60 hours after receiving the vaccine) I started getting cramping in my lower abdomen and diarrhoea. This lasted around 24 hours. On Saturday, I developed a very bad headache which is worse on one side and particularly painful when I turn my head. My neck is sore too.

I had a negative COVID test over the weekend to rule that out, and the diarrhoea has gone now, but I still have a very painful head and it's nearly a week since the jab.

Has anyone had delayed onset of side effects?

It still sounds more like actual covid. I wonder if you had it, but test was inaccurate. Some are. About 1/3 I thought.

@Downthefarm I got a lateral flow test and a pcr test, both negative, so definitely not Covid!

Pfizer on Saturday afternoon for me. Headachey and spaced out. Headache gone now but feel really spacey still.

Had the Pfizer jab and apart from a slightly sore arm felt fine for two or three days, then my whole arm suddenly started to ache quite badly again and that night I woke up feeling dreadful, freezing cold, shivering, nausea and stomach upset, over the next few days I had the same symptoms on and off plus bad headache and flu like aches and pains, it's easing off a bit now but I'm still very tired and have no appetite. It's now almost two weeks since I had the vaccine, I have reported my symptoms on the MHRA Yellow card website.
I did have a covid test on the 6th day just to be sure it wasn't that but it was negative. I had been so pleased at first to think I had no side effects, really hope this doesn't drag on much longer!

My mum was woken in the night by a heavy nosebleed after having the Oxford AZ vaccine. She hasn't had a nosebleed for many years so it seems related, also suffered the usual side effects of headache and fatigue.

@six666 goodness that's similar to my experience, although you sound to be suffering with more of a range of symptoms then me.
I'm finding the headache really strange and can't think of anything else that could have caused it. Luckily, otherwise I'm feeling okay today. Was thinking of calling GP if it goes on much longer, but doubt they'll be able to help. I also thought I'd got away with just a minor sore arm!
@Happyrascalsmummy an unexpected nosebleed doesn't sound much fun!
I'm really glad to have got my vaccine though and the side effects are a small price to pay.

I had a sense of dread about 3 days after. My left foot was tingly and I felt a bit shakey. I was very tired. I have no idea what was what but I feel ok now, but it took a while!
