I am in my late twenties and really generally very healthy, I have a toddler, work full time and have a really busy life.
I’m totally pro vax, in fact I paid for my toddler to have the extra chickenpox vax. I read reputable sources regarding coronavirus etc et.
I was really excited to get my first jab, about 10 days later I was absolutely floored for about 10 days, I cried every day, I felt like I didn’t have enough energy to get out of bed, I developed random twitches in my hands and feet and I thought I was losing my mind. I honestly would burst into tears in public as I felt like I was going to pass out. I booked a blood test, everything came back fine and eventually I felt better and disregarded it as a random awful time.
My second vaccine came around and sure enough around 10 days later I again felt absolutely awful. Struggling to get out of bed, again I felt like I was losing my mind. This was when I related the two reactions to the two vaccines. Again, I eventually felt better but those few weeks were just horrendous. The only way I can describe it is a mild but very real case of how people describe how they feel when they have long covid.
I powered through knowing that it was all done with, I was double vaccinated and that’s that, now I’ve been invited for my booster. I feel terrible. I don’t know what to do. I start a new job in January, I’m worried if I feel so awful again it’ll affect my job, I also worry that it’ll last longer. I’m so worried and I just don’t know what to do.
