Hi Peeps 🙂
I had my 6th Covid (Spikevax) vaccination Saturday 1st October, along with my flu vaccine at my local surgery. I was lucky enough to have them done by my own GP! Consequently, I could ask her, directly, about whether to administer my Methotrexate vaccine (due on on the following Wednesday) and Tocilizumab vaccine (due that day - Saturday). She said that I should leave the Tocilizumab that day and if I didn’t feel unwell the following Wednesday, I could inject my Methotrexate. I should carry on as normal after that.
I had a shocking headache that first day, which eased by the Sunday. Both arms ached for a few days; the Covid vaccine arm more so. My shoulder (Covid arm) was really sore in my joint for a couple more days, being the most sore Thursday (yesterday). I took paracetamol for the first couple of days and then Thursday and Friday morning. I have not had any time off work (a very busy teaching week) so I suppose all has been ok 🥳
I'm drinking my first gin and tonic this Friday evening - cheers 🥂 Here's to a restful weekend! 😊
