Feeling crap

Had the AZ vaccine over the weekend (1st dose). It's 4am on Monday morning and I can't sleep. Over the weekend had fever, vomitting etc but know these side affects can happen.

The weirdest thing has happened though. I'm a recovered/ing alcoholic, sober a good few years (I wouldn't go on about length of sobriety but feel it's important that I haven't had alcohol in my system in a while).

Anyway, after getting the vaccine but before all the fever, chills, vomitting started, I felt really really drunk. My dp had to help me up as my legs were jelly and I started laughing at really random things.

There doesn't seem to be anything on whether this effect could happen for recovered alcoholics (Understandable I know) but I'm now awake at 4am feeling like I'm going through alcohol withdrawal all over again.

No idea why I'm typing but have given up on getting any more sleep tonight.

I had mine at 11am on Sunday. I thought I'd got away without any side effects, and was feeling a little smug tbh, until I woke up an hour ago with my entire body aching.

I'm sorry you've had it worse though. Hopefully it doesn't last too much longer.

I don't really have anything to add re the drunk feeling- that didn't happen for me.

Worth reporting via the yellow card system or your gp though.

Sorry you're feeling crap now @waitingforsun the whole body aches are horrible aren't they?

Yes good idea to report thanks. So strange having that feeling again!

I don't know what I'm going to do with my toddler tomorrow! Hoping DH can have a bit of a casual working day, he WFH at least.

I can imagine that feeling was a bit unnerving! I hope you come out the other side and are back to normal soon OP

I had mine Saturday morning and the only side effect I had last night was feeling a bit tipsy. My legs ached, but that could be down to 2 dog walks yesterday. Feeling fine today.

Now I'm up and had something to eat I'm feeling quite a bit better. 🙂

If you've been vomiting the drunk feeling could be low sodium. If you've got any dioralyte you could try taking some of that or otherwise try eating something salty to see if that helps.
