HRT and Covid Booster

Hi , I am currently on Estrogel & Utrogestan continuous. I had my third jab last Saturday & since then I feel exhausted all the time
Could there be a connection?
Has anyone else had the booster & on HRT ?

Hardly likely. It will be the side effects from the jab. Some people were worse after the 2nd one so it's likely we may all feel worse after the 3rd!

I’m wondering if it’s the current batches?

I was on HRT for all my vaccines. I was a bit headachey & tired after jab one, nothing after 2nd but the 3rd jab has floored me. Aching, tired, headaches, weak.

Teen had his first one several weeks ago and was fine but had his second jab the same week I had my booster & he has been really tired and suffering muscle pains, headaches etc.

Have you had a different type?

Here, we all had the AstraZ but the booster is going to be Pfiezer.

It could be if you had a different type.

The other thing is that with vaccines, if you have ever had Covid, the vaccine can give you a worse reaction. So if by any chance you did have Covid after your other jabs (mild and unknowingly) that could also be a reason.

I had the same jab Pfizer, this isn’t like the side effects that I had with the second jab which was flu symptoms for a couple of days
I’m completely exhausted all the time I’ve been going to bed at 9.30 this week unlike me

Yes! Same here. Had my covid booster last week Wednesday, felt okay afterwards except for a sore arm, but since yesterday (Tuesday) I have been floored with exhaustion. Will see how i get on over the next few days.

On the other hand, I know people who are not on HRT and who have felt very unwell (like the above posts) after their booster, so I don't see any link myself.

Natje, I think there is a connection as I was exhausted for a week after the booster but feeling much better now . I had flu symptoms with the second jab but can’t say that I was unwell with the booster just completely exhausted I just wanted to sleep
Hope that you feel better soon

HRT and Covid

JinglingHellsBells · 06/10/2021 16:03

When people were due their 2nd vaccine they were warned that side effects might be worse than with the 1st.
It seems logical that the 3rd might result in different or worse symptoms.

Frostytiger87 · 06/10/2021 16:12

You could be right jinglinghellsbells , who knows but it’s nice to share symptoms .
I’m pleased to be feeling better but it knocked me for 6 for at least a week
