My completely uneventful AZ jab

[Mintychocolate]

Had this last week. Didn't feel a thing (tiniest needle ever) and apart from a slightly sore arm for a couple of days nothing. I'm not exactly the type to eat just veges and not drink but then I never get the flu either. A complete non event for anyone that wants to hear that precisely nothing happened. Can't wait to not even notice the 2nd one too!

I had my first AZ jab on Saturday. The injection was mildly uncomfortable and the only side effect a slight sore arm.

Can you all say roughly what ages you are?
E.g. 40s 50s 60s or 70s

Husband had his 4 weeks ago. 56. Various health conditions including heart probs and angina.
No side effects whatsoever. Didn't even have a sore arm.

Friend has had it due to her job. 39. No side effects whatsoever.

Niece has had due to her job. 24. No side effects whatsoever.

I'm 50 - had AZ yesterday lunchtime. Arm was a bit sore when I woke up lying on that side but took a couple of paracetamol and feel fine at the moment.

37 - Had mine at 11:30am yesterday. Feeling quite tired and achy, a bit of a fuzzy head (a bit like a hangover) but perfectly able to function normally. Fingers crossed it stays that way

I had mine on Saturday. 20 mikes away, I’m 57.

On the way home l felt car sick! But it didn’t go when l got out of the car.

I also had,
Bad stomach pains
Vomiting
Insomnia
Ached all over
Chills, shivery
Cough
Runny nose
Tiredness

The cough and runny nose lasted about 2 hours each! The worst thing was the stomach pains. Took about 2 days to recover.

Dh 62 had a mild headache
Db 67 had NOTHING
Sil 62 had a headache

I had everything😭🤷🏼‍♀️

50s vaccine 5days ago. Didn’t even notice the needle. Some tiredness/spaced out a bit 24 hours later lasted a few hours and went to bed.
Site of injection still a bit sore.
Absolutely no other effects.

Was interesting bbc news article within last few days which said that there is some evidence that side effects are being observed more amongst younger recipients. There was good science behind this which I have now forgotten .
No sticker and upset like a toddler tantrum about this.
But would not have worn it as so many are uncertain and unhappy about when exactly they will get theirs/vaccination passports/families with children or mixed age parents ability to holiday etc ive kept a bit quiet other than with friends/family abkut having mine.

I had my AZ vaccine yesterday. I didn’t even feel the needle go in! I then started with a headache a couple of hours later and by late evening started to have flu like symptoms. By 9pm my temp was 38 but I was shivering. I felt a little better this morning, temp normal, still achy but really really tired.

I’m 43.

43- had it 11.30 yesterday. My arm started being a bit achey late afternoon, and was quite sore last night, and I had broken sleep with very manic vivid dreams and sweated a lot. Feel fine today though, so I will take that if that is all I get.

Thanks for this thread.just had mine and legs felt like lead half an hour later.Im hoping to avoid too many side effects.Done all the chores just in case.Dsis felt unwell no appetite for 4 days her dh felt like a hangover.Dbroinlaw felt rough his dw just bad headache.
Everything crossed for no side effects.

I didn't get a sticker sadly but I did get some side effects. Headache, very tired, feeling cold, heavy limbs and sore arm. They went pretty quickly though. Late 50s.

Had mine 11:30 yesterday. This morning at 03:30 is woke with a head ache and today feel very tired with a headache. I'm 51. Starting to feel better now.

oh and the aching arm which is to be expected.

Had it at noon yesterday. By midnight as felt more ill than I remember feeling for years. I had electric shock like pains in my limbs which caused whole body convulsions. I had to be physically helped to the toilet during the night
My arm hurts so much I cannot use it at all. My whole body hurts, I feel sick and have a fever. I haven’t left bed. I am 53.

@BigButtons I was curious if anyone else had experienced pain. Had mine yesterday and have leg pain but I’ve just recovered from a nasty trapped nerve in my leg and desperately hoping its just a vaccine side effect and not that flaring up again

Hope you feel better soon

@SabrinaTheMiddleAgedBitch yes- it did feel very like nerve pain. I recognised the burning shooting feeling from bouts of neuralgia that I get. It went on for about 5 hours. I filled the yellow card thing. It was like spasms. I have never suffered from that before.
I had to crawl around to get to the toilet and helped onto the seat( humiliating just a bit). The last time I have felt that beside myself with pain was when I was last in labour 13 years ago. Thank for the💐

I had mine at 8am yesterday morning and so far the only side effects have been a sore arm since yesterday evening and a bit of general achiness last night. I slept well but did have a weirdly vivid waking dream. Hoping this is the extent of it since most side effects seem to kick in within 24 hours. Vaccine itself not painless but not painful.

I had my first AZ jab on Thursday. I immediately felt light-headed and this lasted on and off for 24 hours, along a strange numb sensation in my hands which soon wore off. Was glad that my husband was able to drive me 20 miles home from the vaccination centre. Am 56 and feel fine now.

Early 50s. Felt woozy within a couple of hours. Freezing/boiling, shakes, really strong spasm like feelings, nausea, dizziness. About 12 hours of feeling awful then another 24 of feeling a bit rough. Today just tired. Like a short bout of flu.
Slightly sore arm but not as bad as flu jab.
Worth it though.

I was a little tired on the evening of my jab, but I was completely fine by the next morning!

I want to bed at 8.30 yesterday evening and slept for 12 hours. Felt better today so went for a short jaunt to the supermarket. That was a mistake. I was exhausted very quickly and had legs with all the strength of melted marshmallows. Was walking like an invalid. Back on the sofa about to sleep again. Arm pain has flared up again and I am itchy all over.

Had mine today. So far, sore arm and feel a bit yuck. Worst thing of all: I didn't get a sticker (and was embarrassed to ask for one).

Deeply disappointed.

Shush OP you're not allowed to say it was ok.

My DH had it today and I will report back.

As we're told to give babies Calpol before their jabs, is it worth taking paracetomol before this one? I suggested it to DH but I don't know if he did.
