Booster side effects ongoing for over 2 weeks

Hello,

I had the Pfizer booster over 2 weeks ago. First 3 days, I had flu like symptoms, mild headache and brain fog which lasted over 5 days.

I expected side effects (first AZ jab was bad!) but now, after 2 weeks, I am still experiencing headaches on and off (mild), nausea and severe fatigue and generally feel unwell.

I’ve gone from exercising 6 days a week and jumping out of bed at 6.30pm to having zero energy and barely being able to walk the dog.

I had a cold (not Covid) a week after having the vaccine which didn’t help matters.

Can anyone please advise on whether I should just ride this out and carry on with life or get myself checked out? I feel awful and the thought of going back to work is overwhelming!

I’m beginning to wonder whether the symptoms are from the vaccine now… or maybe something else.

In my case I have been really unwell after each vaccine so I am certain it isn’t that I unknowingly had Covid .

Just to check in and say I am experiencing the same.

I had the booster two weeks ago and I had the usual feeling sedated/tiredness and elevated heart rate after (absolutely nowhere near the level of the main AZ jabs, which made me really unwell) and my arm hurting like hell. Three days later, seemed fine again, thought I'd got away lightly. Then had sudden, overwhelming nausea and have been cycling on and off with nausea and arm pain since, plus three nights of insomnia.

Insomnia and nausea here too.
