Had my first jab yesterday
Jul 20^th, 2021 at 8:48am

The needle was painless.

All afternoon, nothing, not even pain where the needle went in.

This morning........EVERYTHING HURTS

Joints hurt
Muscles hurt
Head aches
Eyeballs hurt
even my toe nails are hurting.

I haven't felt this sore since I did my black belt grading
And that was 5 hours of flat out hard slog.

A hot shower helped a bit, but it looks like the next 48 hours will be just sitting around in pain.

Fortunately though, apart from a headache, my wife feels fine.

OWWWWWWwwwwww

Felt fine until next morning, then it was like a sight hangover plus a sore arm. Fine by teatime. I've had worse from other vaccines over the years, so no issues this time. In any case a reaction is a sign the vaccine is working.

Phone your doctor - that sounds too strong for a reaction.

I only got a mild temp of 37.7 C
12 hours after an AZ shot.

It was the AZ vax.

I might cough a few times, but I would likely not know I had it.

Couldn't find my post....must be going senile.

All good today, slight headache a little queezy last night, but this afternoon.....all good.

Even went out for a kayak, but didn't catch any fish.

A little tired, but paddling a kayak for 6-8 klm does that to you.

Now in a month to 6 weeks I get my second jab

Yes, it was the AZ because I'm old...63 this year.
