COVID vaccine side effects

[Bailybiscuit]

I missed the Spring covid booster because I was diagnosed with FND last Autumn. I hadn't given it a thought but my GP asked if I thought it was connected to the covid vaccination. I Googled and there is quite a lot about it but I haven't heard of anyone mentioning it. Now I have no idea whether to have this year's jab and my surgery are doing it together with a flu one. Last year I wasn't allowed to have them separately. I hope someone can help me decide.

You can book both Covid and Flu vaccines online at local pharmacies so you could have them separately that way if you wanted to.

I didn't realize pharmacies are doing the covid one this time? Thank you I will look into it.

What is FND? To be helpful for newcomers, and people not aware of other disease abbreviations, it may be helpful if posters could write out full term once then use the abbreviation version thereafter.

Sorry, Functional neurogical disfunction. I my case one day my legs just gave way and another day I was unable to use my left arm. On another occasion it felt like lot's of wasps stinging in my knees. Another day I had a sort of fit where I couldn't stop my body from what looked like a proper fit. My rheumatologist just told me to look at a website. I went to A and E but they just examined me and gave me an appointment for a hospital GP the next day as it was Sunday. He thought FND and refferred me to a neurologist. I waited for several months for an appointment. When I saw the Dr she just tested my legs reflexes and agreed FND and discharged me. I asked about my arm and she said that it was all functional and we had run out of time. I saw an accupucturist who has helped a lot.
