Covid jab nasty side effects

I missed the autumn cycle of vaccines as I had a bad cough which hung on and on, and now the next cycle is on offer I'm coughing again with hay fever from tree pollen. I shan't be having the vaccine once again. I figure coughing puts my lungs under enough stress and the vaccine would make it worse. The surgery seems to agree with me.

Thank goodness you recognised what was happening pinkprincess. Hope you are doing OK now.

Thankyou Primrose53
The condition I was referring to was Pulmonary Embolism. One of my sisters and my DS's ex MIL both died suddenly of it
It is one of the largest causes of sudden deathIt was found on my scan at the hospital I had two blood clots, one of which was travelling towards my other lung. I am now on blood thinning tablets for the rest of my life
I am getting along OK, ut it is recently discovered have cancer of the red blood platelets which causes the blood to clot very quickly This was the cause of my PE but I am still not chancing a Covid jab.

Two weeks go today, it was my 8th Covid jab and the first Moderna. I'd never had an adverse reaction with Pfizer and this was no different except that it was very itchy.

My poor brother is in a care home suffering from vascular dementia, all residents were give a Covid vaccination a week ago.
He was so ill he couldn’t get out of bed on first day, then couldn’t stand or walk. He was struggling to feed himself and had to have everything done for him.
Slowly over the week he is improving, they didn’t seem worried saying it was just a side effect of the vaccination !!

I had the Spikevax which is the Brand name for Moderna I understand. I was very tired with headache the next day but soon recovered.

The gift that keeps on giving.
i have been plagued with hives and angiodoema for the past two years, thanks to the COVID booster. Never before had skin problems of any kind until the day after the Pfeiser booster.

Thank goodness you recognised what was happening pinkprincess. Hope you are doing OK now.

Pink That must have been really frightening

Thankyou silverlining48

Moderna last Sunday, Monday a washout. Jab 2 had similar effect. For the others I've been okay.

I have had a bad reaction to every covid jab and seriously considering no more, I just don’t know what to do really. I have also heard of so many local to me who have had strokes following covid jab. A difficult one what to do going forward🤷‍♀️

Pink That must have been really frightening

I had a life threatening condition 24 hours after my last covid vaccination.I was alone in the house, but as a retired nurse, I was aware what the symptoms meant so managed to phone for a taxi which got me to hospital within 10 minutesAn ambulance would have arrived too late.
This incident may or may not be caused by the vaccine but I am not going to tempt fate so will not be having any more covid vaccinations

SarClaud that must have been terrible for you and your family.

We had our 7th jab on Thursday. It was Moderna, which we had never had before. When I touched my arm it felt a bit sore but havnt felt unwell and am fine today.

Many posters on the type of cancer Facebook site I am on are saying the same that their side effects this time are worse than previous jabs. And we are on 9 or 10 jabs so far. But apart from one person everyone says they would not turn it down as we are all to some extent immunosuppressed.
I have booked mine but will have it more than a week before my husband has his so we are not unwell at the same time. We have always done this with flu jabs in the past and covid jabs over the last couple of years.

I’ve just had and my husband SPIKEVAX Covid vaccine.

I had Covid in 2020, and in hospital for 8 months where I was ventilated, induced coma and tracheostomy.

Meanwhile my husband was undergoing chemo for prostate cancer.
I was not allowed to see my husband and 4 children for 6 months, nor they me , as I was in ITU , and NO VISITING was allowed.

I will have continued vaccines as I couldn’t put my family through all this again, if there is anything I can do to prevent it.

I too have been unwell with many of the vaccines, but the last 2 have only been for a day

It’s a personal and individual decision, so just have a think about it. As you say it may not be for everyone.

It’s easy for people who aren’t immuno suppressed/copd or other auto immune conditions to ask why people take the immunisation. Covid would be potentially very serious for me and many other posters. That’s why ‘people are still allowing their bodies to be injected with this stuff’.
Our choice, our decision, always on experienced medical advice. Thank you

We've both had all the jabs offered abd only had covid once, I think we caught it on the very crowded trams in Amsterdam last year. Our symptoms weren't too bad, DH took longer than I did to recover. I would much rather take what is on offer.

I had Moderna 10 days ago,my arm was very sore for a couple of days,not had that with previous ones.I also had episodes of shivering and feeling rough,it was short lived,about 48 hours.

I had Covid last year and ended up in hospital extremely ill,without the vaccinations I would have been far worse.I will continue to have the boosters.

I am not interested in hearing why other people are not having the booster.We can all make up our own minds about it.

My flu-like effects kicked after about 6 hours but were gone within 36 hours of the jab. My arm was also sore and heavy. I could not face the effort of getting in the bath that night. This is the first time I have had any issues.

I am immunosuppressed, so would rather put up with side effects than have a serious case of Covid. I had the Moderna booster a week ago with only a slightly tender arm and a 3-day headache.

‘From what I hear..’ hardly sound factual evidence.

Yes I have thought about not bothering with any more. I rarely go out so there is probably little chance of my catching covid. I tend to just soldier on unless I am really ill. Something you have to do when you are self employed.

My nephew says he has had (albeit mild) flue like symptoms every time he had a jab.

Why are people still allowing their bodies to be injected with this stuff?

Around here there has been a sharp increase in the number of people having strokes. These are previously fit, healthy people who are not overweight, don’t smoke and take regular exercise. From what I hear they are all people who have had Covid jabs too.

I remember going for my first jab and was hurried through. My second jab the nurse did say “are you sure you want it because I have to warn you it can cause blood clots.” I had the third so we could go abroad and that’s it, no more for any of us.

So sorry to hear that biglouis. Hope you’re over the worst now.
