Anyone felt worse after 2nd AZ than first?

I feel a bit floored after 2nd AZ, but apart from sore arm felt ok the day after first jab. Anyone else? Thought it was other way round normally, unless I've caught a bug or something.

Felt like a bad hangover for about 24 hrs after first AZ. Didn’t feel as bad after 2nd, just tired. But definitely lasted longer after 2nd - 3 days or so

First one I had a bad headache, achy, feverish for two days. Second dose I had dizzy spells, swollen lymph nodes and itchy as well as having a bad headache.

Yes it was that way round for me too (second worse).

SirVixofVixHall · 10/06/2021 22:20

Yes, me.
I was expecting to be pretty much fine, maybe a day feeling a bit off colour, but I was really knocked out by this one . I am still not back to normal eight days on.

My sister was really poorly after her second. She has had Covid and almost died from it. I wonder if that makes a difference? I was lousy after my first but nothing after my second. x

I had my second dose in the morning and so far I have been fine with no side effects. I wasn’t well with the first one
I had higher temperatures
Very sore arm
Body aches

Nope. Felt a bit fatigued and rough with first. Nothing with second which I had a week ago, aged 37.

Felt 'off' for about 4 days after the first but nothing that would keep me off work.
Has a very rough day starting 24 hours after the second and had to stay in bed. Fine after that.

Been in bed or lying down most of the day. Have now moved to sofa. Headache a bit more manageable and eyeballs don't hurt to move now. Armpit is swollen. Ankles swollen. Neck and arms still v sore. Feel feverish hot but don't actually have a high temperature. Bizarre. Hope will wear off for morning.

When I had the vaccine, the vaccinator told me that if 1st is bad, 2nd should be fine and vice versa.

I was horribly ill after the first and had to ask my mum to take the day off work to watch my DCs as I was too ill to move and with the second, my arm was a bit sore and then fine after a couple of days.

SirVixofVixHall · 11/06/2021 09:31

I had the swollen armpit too, which I didn’t get the first time. It made wearing a bra painful and hurt to move my arm. That has gone down now, it was there for a few days.

The first was very mild, would have written off the headache as something else if it hadn't been expected. The second was an even briefer headache but a flare of my normal symptoms for a few days. Manageable both times, I've been lucky.

Had nothing with first 2nd one had a mild headache and my arm was sore.
