Booster illness

Has anyone else had the booster and just not felt right since? I had some symptoms after the first and second jab and felt ok after a day or so. It's been a week since my booster and still don't feel right - a bit nauseous and headachy. It might be coincidence so I was wondering if others felt the same?

I felt really tired the next evening and then since then I’ve had a cold and also an upset stomach most days.
I had it last Wednesday evening. Still not right now. I did take a pcr test this Wednesday as my son was a close contact and had to take him anyway. It’s just come back negative.
Wasn’t sure if it was just a coincidence? Wish whatever it is was just do one though…

I had my booster 2 weeks ago . I was tired the next day and was very shivery with a high temperature. Arm hurt like hell (Moderna vaccine). This took a few days to pass but I then developed the mother of all colds which has now gone to my chest. Negative pcrs and subsequent lfts too.

I wouldn’t automatically leap to the conclusion it’s booster symptoms. My theory is that the booster does give you side effects if you pick up a bug around the same time it knocks you on your arse a bit more because your immune system has been fired up. It’s winter and there are a lot of bugs going around.

Rule out covid with a test but I’d be inclined to think I’d picked up something else over ongoing vaccination side effects with those symptoms.
