Timeline of booster symptoms

I know there has been many threads on symptoms but it might be helpful to have a timeline of how long we felt rough, when it started etc so me:
2x Pfizer 1st very sore arm for 2 days couldn’t lift my arm . 2nd sore arm but barely noticeable. Both times swollen node under arm.
Booster = Moderna. 5pm jab. Mild headache in evening . Took 2x paracetamol before bed at 10pm. Woke around 3 feeling hot and nauseous. Sat on toilet and emptied bowels 🤮 had bucket too and dry wretched but thought I was going to be sick. Went back to bed and did some meditative breathing but didn’t fall asleep. Got up just now mild headache and a little hot abs queasy. Wondering if it will get worse. About to take more paracetamol. You?

First dose Moderna: injection early afternoon. Fine that day..tender arm and sensation of mild hangover the following day.

Second dose Moderna: injection 11am. Increasing sore arm over the course of the day. Woken up at around 2am by strong throbbing arm pain.took painkillers. Couldn't get back to sleep. The following day, I couldn't raise my arm (needed assistance to get dressed) had occasional brief bursts of being too hot or too cold, and had stronger hangover symptoms with joint pains. I'd planned the vaccine at the start of two days off, but I could have gone to work, but would have been miserable.

Booster dose Moderna: injection at 11.40am. Very tired by around 5pm. Took 2 paracetamol before bed, just in case. Still very tired when I woke up. Small lump and red area at the site of the injection. Joint and muscle pains from around 11.30, so I took painkillers. All symptoms gone by 4pm.

First jabs 2 x Pfizer, sore arm and tired but ok.

Booster at 2.30 yesterday Moderna. Sore arm within a few hours. Woke up at 2am, shivery, nauseous and very painful arm. Feel better this morning but time will tell!

RobinPenguins · 17/12/2021 07:14

1&2 Pfizer, mild headache after dose 1.

Moderna Booster - v sore arm after 12 hours, headache/muscle aches after 24 hours but easily manageable with paracetamol/ibuprofen. That lasted approx 12 hours. A bit tired but I’m always tired. Had it Tuesday morning and woke up feeling completely normal on Thursday morning.

Peashoot1 · 17/12/2021 07:16

AstraZenica 2x jabs - Sore arm and felt fatigued.

Pfizer booster on Sunday. Sore arm initially but the last two days Ive had headaches- nauseous and a sensitive tummy. Hoping tomorrow will be better

WeeFae · 17/12/2021 07:17

3 x Pfizer, bit of a sore arm. Nothing else.

Autumn101 · 17/12/2021 07:22

Moderna for first two - sore arm and a hangover/tired feeling for a day

Pfizer booster - fine for 24 hours then felt awful. Aches, hot and cold however it’s since turned into the cold from hell (PCR negative) so think they may be separate to the jab!

gofg · 17/12/2021 07:48

3 x Pfizer, bit of a sore arm. Nothing else.

Exactly the same for me.

1st Pfizer
Felt fine straight afterwards, 4 hours after felt like I'd been hit by a bus whilst having flu! Went to bed, got and cold shivers, felt really rough for a bit. Felt much better when I woke up, had a sore arm and felt a bit feeble for a few days. Also messed with my (previously almost absent due to Mireya) periods and I had two periods quite close together within three weeks of jab...

2nd Pfizer
Arm started feeling heavy and sore almost immediately, which lasted for a few days. Felt a bit tired but considerably better than after the 1st dose! Another 'extra' period after this too.

Booster Moderna
Felt fairly dizzy and faint during the 15 minute wait but was okay. Felt nauseous and a bit feeble but mostly okay. Then about 3.5 days afterwards had the worst headache I have ever experienced behind my right eye/the right side of my head (and I get migraines but these are always on the left) and was quite concerned I was having a brain haemorrhage at one point - took painkillers which seemed to have no effect for over an hour. DH rang 111 after making me do the FAST stroke checklist, and was on hold for 28 minutes but thankfully it eased while he was waiting to speak to someone and I've been okay, apart from a sore arm since!

I did have two periods again, one a few days after and one less than two weeks after that. Not had anymore yet though so hopefully that's the end of it!

I spoke too soon! I took DD to school and it has properly wiped me out. I feel faint and dizzy when I stand up and am aching all over.
ferretface · 17/12/2021 13:29

1x Pfizer just a very sore arm which went away after 2 days, maybe slight tiredness

2x Pfizer very swollen armpit and puffy arm (armpit swelling lasted for a week!), chills/fever starting overnight, fatigue which was worst on day 1 post vaxx but took 3-4 days to fully dissipate.

3x Pfizer seems similar to dose 2 at the moment, I'm on day 1 post vaxx and the fatigue and swollen lymph nodes are back, alternating chills and fever. No puffy arm this time though.

SickAndTiredAgain · 17/12/2021 18:18

I had my Pfizer booster at half 9 this morning (had Pfizer for the first two as well).
I’m currently in bed with an awful headache and feeling sick. I don’t really need to be in bed though, but it was only a couple of weeks ago that my awful morning sickness went away, then I had a week of antibiotics for a UTI, so I’m just feeling a bit sorry for myself that I’m feeling rotten yet again.

But, based on my first two doses, I’ll feel crap tomorrow but ok by Sunday. And then I am determined to feel well over Christmas!

Wankerchief · 17/12/2021 18:33

I’ve booked my booster for the 23rd so I’m hoping I don’t get bad symptoms and ruin Christmas 😂

FrazzledCareerWoman · 17/12/2021 20:13

Forgot to add the first vaccine messed with my period as well. 40 days!! Was so pissed off.

Wednesdayafternoon · 17/12/2021 20:22

I've had pfizer, pfizer and then moderna.
I was fine with the first 2, just a sore arm.
With the moderna I've been fine again but I have a very large lump on my arm which is extreme soar and red and itchy..... even three days later! Not sure if I should be concerned by this or not? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Cookiesandscones · 18/12/2021 06:49

1st AZ felt like I had been run over by a bus twice starting 12 hours after the jab

2nd AZ very mild feeling of aching but pretty much felt normal

Had covid a month later that was quite mild would day day 3 was the worst but I was still able to get on with stuff in the house

Pfizer yesterday at 2pm felt tired at 9pm took 2 co codamol was asleep until about 3am and have been in a pretty light sleep waking up constantly since then but for no reason that I can tell, I don’t have a headache or fever or anything I feel pretty much ok so far, just had a bad night sleep

I’ve had similar. Pfizer yesterday morning and then a terrible night’s sleep last night. Not feeling horrendous, just could not sleep. Now I’ve got a horrible headache but that could be lack of sleep.

Toastmost · 18/12/2021 08:40

I felt rough as after my 2 AZ vaccines. Was fine after the Pfizer booster, had it in the morning and felt fine all day, took some paracetamol before bed just in case and slept like a log! Had a slightly achey arm the next day but nothing to write home about, and then felt fine after that.

Sosososotired · 18/12/2021 13:50

Pfizer x2 were fine, sore arm for 24hrs.

Moderna booster day 1, flu symptoms and sore arm. Days 2-6 migraine and back to back period
