3rd vaccine - side effects?

[Stowe]

Hello everyone,

So I had my 3rd vaccine on Thursday the Pfizer vaccine, I just wondered if anybody else has experienced these side effects afterwards. Straight after having it my lips felt tingly for a couple of mins, it was fairly mild so I didn't say anything at the time, then I had two days of aches and shivering (which I know can be normal) thankfully that subsidd by Sunday but now I have big egg shaped lump on my arm (that granted is starting to go down now) but is itchy, but still painful, so I cannot scratch it 😣 Really hoping it goes away soon, I didn't take my methotrexate on Saturday to try to give my body a chance with the vaccine. Sigh 🙄

Same here for two Phizers the second and third, but the first one was awful. And oh joy a fourth to follow in six months.

Oh no sorry that you've gone though the same thing, it's certainly not a picnic this vaccine, hope the 4th one is alot better. X

I think just imagine the virus ! my sister had it back in May last year and still has the covid rash. The actual virus she said was like the worst flu but its left her with skin problems and she's seen a Dermatologist who said it's just time now.

Yes that's very true I was thinking the same , that if this is the side effects I'd dread to think what people are going through with Covid. I hope your sister is fully better soon. X
