Vaccine COVID

[Heal-]

Hi x

I have my fist vaccine booked for tomorrow but I am feeling quite nervous about it all. Has anyone with lupus had it and if so how did you feel after it? Just looking for some reassurance x

Hi, I had mine yesterday. Felt a bit " off" last night but I also feel that way the day after taking methotrexate which was also yesterday. A very slight ache in my arm but really nothing to complain about. Hope this helps

Thank you very much - this really helps

You're welcome 👍

I had mine a week ago and no problems at all except a bit of a sore arm. Understandable to be nervous but very few people are getting bad reactions x

Thank you! I feel much more for comfortable knowing this x

What one did you have ?

Hi, sorry probably a bit late now but I had my vaccine last week (Pfiezer). Just had sore arm. Some colleagues (I work for nhs) had headaches that evening but nothing more. J hope it goes ok for you.

Hi!I had mine 2 weeks ago and have lupus since June 2018. No side effects except a sore arm for a day or so.

Its definitely worth getting the vaccine. Just not sure how much of an antibody response my body will produce as I'm on immunosuppressants.

All the best

Hi, I had mine on saturday, was slightly light headed afterwards but did not last long. Sore arm for a couple of days like you would have with flu vaccination. All good now 🙂

Hi Heal- how did your vaccine go ? Any side effects ? I'm getting my first one tomorrow, also feeling nervous !
