Hi there. Who was I kidding. Don' know whether it was the jab yesterday or just yet another flair up, but today has been horrendous. Been in bed all day with migraine. Can't lift my head off the pillow and stomach upset, nausea and wretching, although not actually been sick. Only had sips of water, but just taken two paracetamols to pacify DH who doesn't get it. Still after all these years he thinks I can take a tablet and everything will be 'rosy'. If only someone in my life could really understand what fibro is like. Back into bed now and fingers crossed I will at least be able to function a bit tomorrow!

Hi yes this site has made me realise how much suffering people have conditions I didn't even know about and even tho including you don and shel witt have endless suffering and ongoing health issues so many continue to be so supportive to others you have all restored my faith in humans as I've had a lot of bad experiences in my life with people since childhood maby it's just the town I live in its known as the forgotten town I watched news with Tom on and it also really touched me and my mam said he's walking with angels now and will never walk alone along with our other loved ones that are gone as they were special people too 🌈🌹🌟god bless all the kind people 🙏X
Thanks Vet250. Fortunately it was only a 24 hour thing! A bit concerned about going for second jab though when the time comes!What is it they say. Tomorrow is another day!
No side affects for me! But feel better soon Shel 🙂
Glad you feel OK Don. Fortunately it only lasted 25 hours.
Hope you feel better tomorrow. I've spoken to several people on a zoom call today and their daughters who are carers havehad the jab and both felt very much like you. Fortunately both said it only lasted two days so hopefully it will be the same for you.x
Hi I'm sorry your suffering like this it may well be the jab my mam is having problems arm pain and dizzy on sitting and laying on a morning but ok once it's passed and she's rested she took paracetomol at first and eased arm pain it was both arms what type vaccine was it hers was pfyser and headache is what can happen too and maby reaction to your medication I hope you feel better soon xx
Hello, I dont know if it will help but I reacted badly to the vaccine too. I spent the first three days in bed but It has taken 4 days to feel normal again. Headache, shivering, sickness, pins and needles in hands and lots of aches and pains. I have to admit I was worried as most people had reported just a sore arm and feeling a bit unwell. My GP surgery wanted feedback and asked me to record my symptoms and time it took to recover. At least you will now know it doesn't last and you will soon feel much more yourself.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thank you Roadrunner. I think it is the uncertainly. There has not been a lot of feedback about adverse reactions and considering the amount of people involved we ought to have been given more information. I am a worrier anyway and knowing the Europeans are taking a more cautious approach doesn't help. There is nothing we can do anyway. I hope you are feeling well again now.
Hope you manage a good night's sleep and feel better tomorrow, x
Hi ShelWhitt. I had mine on Saturday morning and had a bad couple of days (so did hubby) and I still don't feel right even now. It affects people differently, some are OK some are not. Hope you feel better tomorrow. x
Hi springcross. Sorry you have had a bad time too. Which vaccine did you have. I am wondering whether that makes any difference as DH had his jab a couple of weeks ago (different vaccine) and had no problems.I am a lot better now, thankfully. Hope you are too! xx
Hi Shelwhitt. I had the Oxford Astrazenica, so I'm dreading the next one. I'm not feeling so bad now thank goodness. Hope you're feeling OK now. xx
So sorry to hear that springcross. I know exactly what you mean. I had the same vaccine as you did, and am trying not to think about the next one.I was ill for 24 hours but it was really nasty! I am back to more or less normal now. (I am not great at the best of times, but am at least able to function , in a fashion.) We just have to hang in there!Take care. x
Hi.I do hope you feel better tomorrow. My friend's hubby was really bad after it. I was lucky, I just had a bit of a headache and Dave had wobbly legs so we were very lucky.
Hope you have a good night's sleep xxxx❤️💜
ShelWhitt in reply to
Hi Lynne. Thankfully only really bad for 24 hours. Glad you were relatively OK. Don't we all hope for a good night's sleep. It's on my wish list!😃 Sleep tight! xx
Hello I hope that you get better soon ❤️🙏Much love and kindness- Hiba
I have heard from a few friends who have experienced adverse affects but only for 1 or 2 days. Hopefully you'll feel better very soon. Good luck.
Hi I had my jab on Saturday so did my Daughter ,I spent Sunday shaking and shivering and so tired all I wanted to do was sleep with a cracking head ache, my daughter had the tiredness and a numb arm from shoulder to elbow both ok now .
Glad you are feeling better now. It does seem to be quite common. As long as it gets rid of the virus it will have been worth it! xx
The theory is that only about five per cent of people get side-effects - so we should not discourage anyone from getting vaccinated... I felt ill for half a week, and I did not feel well until a week later - but I think I had had long CoViD.
I hope you feel better soon.
in reply to S11m
I was worried about telling anyone of the reaction I had as would hate to put anyone off having it.
Sorry to read this and do hope you soon feel better. I had my jab on Sunday and have felt terrible since. Perhaps it does aggravate existing conditions in some people. I just tell myself it can’t last for ever and if I reacted badly to jab thank goodness I had it as Covid would be so much worse.
Hopefully you’ll soon feel much better.

Hi Slug hater. I keep telling myself it is just something else to endure, but with luck this will be short lived. Don't we all on here have enough to tolerate day to day already! Have you noticed it is just another thing badly implemented.It seems to be a case of roll out the jabs and all will be fine. Very little information regarding the different vaccines and different side effects. Now they are talking about mixing the two! I don't know much but that doesn't seem a good idea to me. But, will we have any choice in the matter? I am beginning to understand why some of the Europeans are erring on the side of caution , whereas we seem to have jumped in with both feet! Just saying!
I did click on the heart but I meant I was sending you love. Perhaps I’m misreading the meaning of the heart. Sorry.
Secondly I think it’s probably important for those of us affected by the jab to report it. On the leaflet I was given mentioned reporting side effects via yellow card system
OMG I am so sorry to hear you are dealing with so much pain 
. I have a friend that after years of Dr.'s telling her the pain was not real. She finally was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. She struggles with depression, and is trying not to get addicted to prescription medications . Life can be so difficult for her. Her daughter feels helpless, and tries to keep her mom happy. 
I see them reversing roles . If most men would have painful monthly's that would cause a woman to need prescription, pain killers that don't always take all of the pain away, they would whine forever. If the majority of men had to have natural child birth they would no longer have sex/make love. If most men had to experience full body Fibromyalgia they would want to kill themselves. So your husband thinks if you take a pill you will suddenly become Wonder Woman, and all will be right with the world 
. I do pray you will feel better soon . Rest up, you deserve joy. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you RLN. Just knowing someone else understands is a bonus! x
in reply to RLN-overcomer
HiI really am lucky. I can't fault my hubby. As you know I have many conditions but he is fab. He says sometimes when he has had a bad night that he doesn't know how I cope with such little sleep. He says 3 hours sleep for him is a bad night but for me it's a good night!! I only ever a better night when I'm absolutely exhausted. He never moans and doesn't mind doing things I can't do. Our son helps as he is still at home, he said he's not as I'll as me but he does have a lot of pain. He has to use colonic irrigation at least 3 times a day. His muscles don't work in his bum so as he tries to push it just tightens up . The irrigation really helps but he still feels like a knife is going up his bum. It's horrible to see him in so much pain. He still insists on making tea every night, he loves cooking. He talks to his girlfriend on line every day which helps. Our other son lives with his girlfriend. He has Crohn's disease which is horrible. Dave said he's the only normal one!!
Sorry I went off on a tangent again!! I think you can tell I like talking!!!
Lots of love and hugs Lynne xxxx ❤️🤗💜🤗🌈🌹

I agree with everything you say. I know I have done my share of moaning but in the grand scheme of things I have been very lucky. Yes, things could have been better and there have been several bad wobbles, but we are still here for now!. DH is one of 4 brothers and there are only now 2 of them. I am an only one and lost my dear dad suddenly when I was 25, which completely broke me. On the plus side I lost my mum 11 years ago but she lived to be 97 and had a very full life. We have always both worked and been fortunate to have had holidays all over the world, which was great, but now DH has dementia and he can't remember any of them. He also has arthritis and had a couple of accidents, so now he can hardly walk at all, and wouldn't even be able to navigate a scooter I don't think. Neither of us are driving any more due to health issues (although we still have the car and I still have my license for now) so we all have to make the most of what we do have. We did manage to get away in 2019 to Scarborough for a week but whether that was our last break is anyone's guess. My two daughters and two grandchildren are great - but even they have problems. and I am really missing them during the last 12 months. Moan over. Now counting my blessing and going to get a cuppa.Stay safe. Please keep posting I love to hear from you. Thank you to everyone on this site you really are 22 carat and a much appreciated lifeline. Stay safe., xxx
in reply to ShelWhitt
Thank you. I understand what you mean. We are missing Ian and Chantelle who live in Cambridge and I know they are missing us too. The last time we saw them was February. They were going to come up for Mother's Day but then the first lockdown happened. Mike still lives at home, he has seen his girlfriend Alannah once since March. Can't wait to get together. Also we are missing the rest of our family and friends. Missing people and hugs. We are very good friends with the people next door but we haven't been in each other's houses since beginning of March. We either phone each other or one of us will stand at the door and the other one on the pavement, both of us with masks on. We would just rather be safe than sorry.Sorry, I went off on a tangent again!!!
If you ever need to talk I'm here for you.
All my love Lynne xxxx ❤️🤗💜🤗🌈🌹

Hi Lynne. You are so lucky with your family. More to the point you know you are and appreciate what they do for you. Particularly when they also have problems to deal with. They obviously have empathy and that always helps. It must be hard for your sons, and you too of course, to be so ill when so young. I know I moan when I am feeling rough but I love my kids and grandkids too. They are really good kids. They both have busy lives and families, all still working full time (bar my youngest daughter who is on furlough at the moment but don't think there will be a job for her after this) and they also have their share of health and other problems to deal with . To be honest I am more upset that I haven't been able to do as much for them as I would like, because that's what mothers/grandmothers do! And I am missing them like crazy at the moment. I have done my share of childminding for both grandkids, but it would have been lovely to have been able to be more active with them! Just been writing a card out. It is my granddaughter's birthday on the 13th. She will be 15. I can't believe how fast time has flown. My daughter met her husband when they were both in the army, and her dad was still serving in N. Ireland when she was born , in Londonderry, We went over and were there when she was born. It only seems like yesterday. As a coincidence her birthday is on the same day as my dad's. He would have been 113 next week. Loved him to bits too and he died too soon when he was only 60 and I was 25. Another bit of nostalgia.It is pouring with rain here, but we aren't going anywhere so it doesn't really matter!Try to have a good weekend. Speak again soon. Love and hugs. xx
in reply to ShelWhitt
Thank you. Yes I really do appreciate everything that is done for me, I know it's done out of love just as we did with our parents. The boys would also help. I get frustrated sometimes that I can't do more because I feel like a burden, I do get told off when I talk like this. Mike said to me , did you think your Mum and Dad were a burden and I said no, Mike replied I rest my case!!! Lots of love and hugs Lynne xxxx ❤️🤗💜🤗🌈🌹
ShelWhitt in reply to
You are so right. In spite of all our problems I love my family to bits and wouldn't change them for the world. I know when I have been really down I have had a moan but, that is human nature and I do know that a lot of people are far worse off that I am. After the last twelve months I think a lot of us are counting our blessings. xx
in reply to ShelWhitt
Yes, definitely. I sometimes feel down but then I give myself a talking to and remind myself that there are plenty of people who are worse off than me. I'm certainly counting my blessings after this last 12 months. Lots of love and hugs Lynne xxxx ❤️🤗💜🤗
Thank you Jerry. I hope so.
Thanks my dexter. The really bad symptoms only lasted 24 hours. Thankfully. I hope you jab goes OK. Let us know. x
I think we are all fed up anyway. Let's hope all the staying in and now the jabs is finally worth it and we can start to get back to some kind of normal! Stay safe. x
