How did you feel after your whooping cough vac?

[blacklily3]

Hi All,
Just curious really, I am 31 weeks and had my whooping cough vac yesterday. I struggled to get out of bed this morning as was exhausted and my whole body aches :c( This is not usual for me. My nose is bunged and I have had a slight headache since 4am. Is this the after effect of the vac? Am at work and feel like I could sleep for the next week.

Like shit in a nutshell. Not the day after but the day after that i felt awful all day. But then the day after that (iyswim) was fine again :-)

Thanks Peacenquiet (wishful thinking? lol) nice to know only lasted a day for you, only half day tomorrow then the weekend so hopefully be recovered by then :c)

I had mine Tuesday, and I haven't felt any more shit/tired than usual.

My arm really bloody hurts at the injection site tho- far more than I'd expect.

I've got mine this afternoon so will let you know! Nervous now - I don't have time to be ill

Don't worry bebo - I am at work and am not that rough lol - just a little worse for wear than usual :c) It's a tiny needle and didn't hurt at all, over in 2 secs. I don't have a redm ark or raised bump or anything (at the mo) however I accidently knocked arm against door frame and realised it hurts a little (but only when I poke and prod so not doing that lol). Starting to feel lots better now, however I did need a coffee to get me going this morning :c)

I felt fine after, but my arm was sore, lumped up, red & itchy for about 10 days after!

I had no after effects. No pain or illness. Not boasting, but just to reassure those who have yet to have their shot that it doesn't necessarily guarantee any adverse reactions!

I had no after effects and was absolutely fine.

My arm was really sore though - far worse than it had been when I'd had my flu jab. Ouchies!!!

My arm was very sore - I had to sleep on my other side for a few days, as the vaccinated arm was too sore to lie on - but other than that, no after effects.

My arm was a little sore but they tell you that it could be and is no different to when you have flu jab etc but other than that i was fine, no side effects at all.

I had a sore arm for a day or two.

Otherwise i was totally fine.

I was fine albeit with a sore arm. But everybody is different. I seem to recall having less energy in the coming days but no illness.

I felt fine but my arm was very sore for a good 3 days after, unlike the flu jab which I had no reaction to at all.

I was awful after mine. My arm was massively swollen and blistered and I felt likr crap for a week. Actually ended up on penicillin and antihistamines to clear up an infection.

I was also really shattered but I had attributed that to being back at work after Christmas!

This afternoons jab was fine. I haven't had any bad reactions so far

Sure you won't bebop :c) I am all back to normal now and just looking forward to a good nights sleep.
