Covid jab

[Junny1]

I received a letter the other day about getting my “3rd jab”. It said it’s different to the booster one. The letter was from my rheumatology clinic. I didn’t even know there was a 3rd jab. It’s only got people with problems like arthritis it said. Anybody got the same?

//A third dose of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) is identical to the first two doses.

It can help protect people with weakened immune systems who did not have a strong enough response to the first two doses of one of the mRNA vaccines.

Such people can get a third dose as soon as 28 days after a second dose. The FDA has authorized, and the CDC recommends, that those with certain medical conditions that suppress the immune system get a third dose of the same brand of COVID-19 vaccine that they initially received.//

Thanks for your reply YuliK. Does that mean it will most probably have the same side effects?

[Lolabridge in reply to Junny1]

Yes as it’s the same vaccine. Those who qualify for and have the 3rd primary dose will also be offered a booster after another 6 months.

[Junny1 in reply to Lolabridge]

Yes the letter said that. But I hope the side effects aren’t the same as the others 😣

I’ve made an appointment for tomorrow evening. Wish me luck. I was fine with the second dose. But the first jab was awful. Let’s hope I’m not the same tomorrow

Good morning saeedal,

No, I’ve not had a word either. Just been reading though about how montmerency cherry concentrate helps both pain and sleep. Don’t know if it’s hype and growers eager to sell cherries , but worth reading deeper I think

Montmorency cherry juice contains thiamines which I can say work with gout sufferers (a formOf arthritis) as taking two a day has meant I can cut my medication down to 100mg daily. I had been on 400mg and having breakthrough pain so bad I couldn’t walk or weight bear. The dreaded Amazon sell it for about £12 which is a 3 month supply 😁

I’ve had the 3rd jab this evening 🙈. Feeling fine at the moment. Arm feels absolutely normal. I’m still paranoid n dreading the pain in the legs and arms like last time though

[YuliK in reply to Junny1]

Sometimes statins , if you are taking any, can cause pains in the limbs.

[Junny1]

I was fine after the jab glad to say. 🙂

Does this now mean I only have my booster left?
