Covid-19 vaccine and RLS

I had my first vaccine shot yesterday and when I went to bed, exhausted as usual, rather than fall asleep, I was overcome by electric currents running throughout my body and never slept all night. I am hoping this was a one time occurrence, but now I am terrified about getting the 2nd vaccine as I understand the side effects are much worse. Anyone have any experience with this?

Was it the Pfizer one or the Oxford Astra Zeneca?

I have had the Pfizer vaccine and not had any side effects that you describe. Hope things are now better for you.

I had the pfizer one two days ago. No problems with RLS.

Not what you're looking for?
