Vaccination - How did it affect you?

[S11m]

I had my vaccination on Friday evening - as I am an NHS volunteer.

They say you might get symptoms 24 to 48 hour later.

I had virtually no local discomfort in my arm.

I felt a little un-energetic 18 hours in.

22 to 26 hours in I had a migraine-ish headache, tight chest, sore neck, palpitations aching legs and some gastro discomfort. I felt too ill to watch television - and listened to the radio.

36 hours in I had some discomfort in the appendix area.

A reaction to a vaccine is considered to indicate that the vaccine worked - and will give you good immunity. "They" say that the vaccine gives you better immunity that the disease.

I am 71, I have never smoked or drunk alcohol, and I am at my ideal weight.

I have been taking "all the recommended supplements", including Quercetin, Zinc, Vitamins D and C, Magnesium, Niacin and Selenium.

Up until recently, I felt rough for about two months - and I wonder if I had mild "Long Covid" - there is not much information about Long Covid - but it might be viral persistence - and I am wondering if the appendix might be a site where the virus can hide?
