Pfizer fatigue

Had my first pfizer jab on Saturday afternoon. Had a sore arm for 48 hours and then thought I was ok, since yesterday though, I've been so tired I could sleep all day if I could. Even sleeping at night isn't helping. I also have a sore throat. I tested
negative for covid still. Of course the weather is warmer and I also have fibromyalgia but could this be a delayed effect from the jab?

I’m the same, had mine on Monday and was fine apart from sore arm Tuesday and for the day today, went to the gym even! But this evening I feel quite ill, sore throat hard to swallow, nausea and generally just out of sorts fluey. I’m assuming just delayed reaction? I guess I could actually just have the flu though!

I got mine last night. Woke up with a sore arm and as the day has gone in, I've got more and more tired. But i guess that's the price to pay. Rather that!

I had the same on and off for 3-4 days, got a headache on the last day then was fine!

I was exhausted for a week then fog brain and lacked concentration for 3 further weeks. Then one day woke and felt fine! Very odd feeling!

I had it and still felt fatigued 6 days later. Others I know just got the sore arm.

I didn't have the sore arm but I was so unbelievably tired. It lasted a few days and then wore off, but it was seriously hard work!

I feel like the thread title should be Pfizer pfatigue.

That aside, I think that your immune system kicking off can make you tired no matter if the cause is a vaccine, a virus or whatever.

I was exhausted on the fifth day after mine, I could barely keep my eyes open. I was fine the next t day though. This was last week when it wasn’t hot etc

I had about a week of fatigue. Could get through work day, but anything beyond that was impossible. It lifted quickly when it did though

I too had my pfizer jab on sat and its been horrible, my arm is only just feeling less sore and I'm constantly tired. I had nausea and headaches the first few days as well. I passed out after mine whilst waiting the 15 mins so I'm not looking forward to the next one.

I had mine today and my arm is on fire from fingers to neck. Fatigue and aches too but not too bad.
