Things started to go downhill for me when I had my 3rd jab. I started to develop twitching and other symptoms after about a week of treatment. I believe it is totally normal, other people in this community can verify. Hope you can recover well :)

I had my loading doses over the summer and had nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea after most of them. It wasn't fun, but it subsided a couple of days after the last one. I made sure I kept drinking loads of water and stuck to bland foods. Just had my first regular dose last week and it wasn't quite so bad. Check in with the nurse when you go for your next one if you're not sure though.

I found the NHS page had a helpful list of common side effects, esp as the nurse didn't think the injection could be causing it until I showed her it was listed as a common side effect!

Yes normal. I had a situation - new symptoms - between my second and third dose that was something I don't even how I got through at the time & now looking back. And yet about 80% of my symptoms disappeared within a month of loading doses. Symptoms that I had had for years on end -poof - gone.

And I had had more than thirty documented symptoms.

But I always like to add do not hesitate to get medical assistance if need be, one would not want to always assume that it is not a separate issue at hand
