I feel pfine

Had my 2nd Pfizer jab on Wednesday, woke up Thursday feeling sick, every muscle ached and a dull headache. No matter how I lay or sat I hurt. That lasted until Friday night.
I was absolutely fine after the first one, just slept well that night.

catfunk · 22/07/2021 22:01

second one yesterday - weds pm. felt fine, went to bed, slept heavier than usual.
Woke up this morning with zero energy - don't feel ill as such but body like lead. This evening have a sore armpit and I swear it smells bad!

I had my second dose at 9:15am yesterday, just a sore arm in the afternoon but then in the evening I developed headache/body aches and pains/lethargy. Took paracetamol through the night which helped. Feeling it again now so going to take some more!

With my first dose I felt fine apart from a sore arm.

TheVampiresWife · 23/07/2021 11:06

DH had his second on Wednesday afternoon. He's been absolutely fine (he was after the first, too). My first AZ floored me for days so I'm envious he got off so lightly!

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 23/07/2021 14:05

Second dose last week - feel fine. My employer gave us all 2 additional sick days - but I did not need them and went about my day as usual.

fedup078 · 23/07/2021 14:12

I had a banging headache the day after
I had my 2nd jab last Sunday
Had bouts of fatigue throughout the week but that could be the heat and a few nights I didn't get enough sleep

catfunk · 24/07/2021 19:40

3 days later - armpit on vaccine side swollen and very sore. Also have a rash under arms and down sides which I've had before with viral type illness.

Thought the fatigue had lifted a bit today so I went out for a couple of hours for lunch. Got home and instantly fell asleep for 2 hours. It's knocked me for 6!

catfunk · 24/07/2021 19:44

Just to add - DP had his with me and is absolutely fine. I'm usually a very light sleeper/ early riser and he can sleep forever so he's finding all of this very amusing 🙃

SerenaT28 · 25/07/2021 12:38

Have you had your second one yet? @Rainydays55 - I remember you from the 'lingering fatigue' thread. I had my second yesterday. Feeling really fluey today, boiling hot and sweating but temperature only 37.6. Hope it doesn't last weeks like last time. I think I must have a bit of a wacky immune system!

skyvv90 · 25/07/2021 15:29

After my first, I felt a bit nauseous and tired later that day (could have been lack of sleep though!). My arm was sore for a couple of days. Had my second yesterday morning and feel absolutely fine. Arm is only a little sore this time too.

PartnerInTime · 25/07/2021 16:02

I had mine yesterday morning. Sore arm developed within a few hours. About 12 hours after I started to get a fever, which spiked over 39°c in the night. Absolutely exhausted today (probably from a terrible night's sleep!) Generally tired and achy, but fever seems to have passed now.

First jab just caused an achy arm, a barely elevated temperature and lethargy for a few days.

milkjetmum · 25/07/2021 16:08

First jab didn't notice anything, 2nd jab felt a bit tired and grotty the next day like I had a heavy cold coming on and a bit achy but felt OK next day onwards.

Polkadotties · 25/07/2021 16:08

Felt fine after my first one. Had my second on Thursday. On Friday my arm was so sore. I also had glands come up in my neck, armpit and near my collar bone on the same side I had the jab.

smith5715 · 25/07/2021 17:40

Had mine on Monday - felt fine and then 2 days later my injection site went red and hurt, felt warm and itchy but has gone now.
My period also started 10 days early - which may be linked to the jab!

Wanttocry · 25/07/2021 17:53

Had my second one yesterday morning, was ok yesterday evening, just a bit tired and headachey. Woke up around 1am really feeling like I was going to be sick (I wasn’t), and didn’t really get back to sleep due to severe nausea, aching muscles, headache, fever, general discomfort. I’ve been in bed all day with aching arms and legs, headache, no appetite and nausea on and off, plus totally exhausted.
I felt like this after the first, but on a less severe scale. I’m hoping it clears up by tomorrow.

littlepeas · 25/07/2021 18:09

Second one this morning. Felt a bit crap this afternoon and just woke up from a nap feeling better. Slight headache and a bit grotty but functional. Arm is a bit sore. I was a bit off for several weeks after the first, so I’m hoping that this time that won’t happen.

Blondiney · 25/07/2021 19:23

Horrible nausea, and lack of appetite the day after the first jab. Tired and headachey the second day.

Had 2nd jab yesterday. Apart from the achy arm thing last night I've been fine this time. Probably jinxed myself now

InTheEndItDoesntEvenMatter · 25/07/2021 20:25

Had mine Friday evening, woke up with incredibly sore arm on Saturday morning but a few ibuprofen and it wasn't too bad, all better now. No other problems at all.

Di11y · 25/07/2021 20:56

Second one yesterday, felt exhausted and heavy limbed and headache a few hours later, just about over it now.

Nuggetnugget · 25/07/2021 21:00

I was the same. Very heavy upped arm. Sore. Headache. But that could be the heat either (can't take the heat)
I didn't feel right for two days. Was fine last time.

MrsTerryPratchett · 25/07/2021 21:06

Last week. Arm was sore, fine now. Nothing else.

MuchTooTired · 25/07/2021 21:26

I had my second jab yesterday, have felt like absolute baggage since. I’ve spent most of today asleep waking only to have food, paracetamol and take my temperature (which is high).

I’m hoping it’s gone by tomorrow morning as DH will be at work and I’m on my own with my 3.5 year old DTs 😱

Jade308 · 25/07/2021 23:52

First one, absolutely nothing at all. Had 2nd on Wednesday, really sore and heavy arm on Thurs morning but was gone by lunchtime.
