Post Covid Vaccination

Good morning all, wondering if anyone is going through or had same/similar concerns after covid jab. I took vaccine on the 7/2, 5 days post vaccination my problems started. Was admitted on the 15/2 after my normal exchange transfusion which I have every 4 weeks. I suffered severe pain in my chest and breathlessness. Pain was so bad I did not want to breath. They said it was vaso-occlusive crisis triggered by the AstraZeneca jab and completed the yellow card to alert the makers. Did I say I don’t like hospitals?? Was treated with antibiotics and pain killers and after 5 days breathing had settled n I asked to be discharged home to continue healing. To cut a long story short I hv not bn the same, sickle pain every day all the time I have just had another exchange transfusion and normally things settle 2-3 days but no. I have sickle pain every day, terrible insomnia zopiclone not helping. Anybody going through same issues? I suffer from ITP, asthma, migraine etc and it appears everything has bn woken up or deteriorated. I will have to go and see the haematology team but just wondering if anyone is going thru similar things. I called GP last week for excessive sweating complaints and awaiting to hear from them regards blood tests as could not identify what was wrong. xx

Try to make a tea and drink it. Put some ginger, garlic, half a lemon (with the peel), orange, and (orange peel). I have not decided to take the vaccine; but, it sounds like you need to detox. Once you have boiled the tea, before you drink it add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. (It will bubble up like alker seltzer) so use a decent size cup to accommodate for this. (You may add honey and cinnamon to the mix once you have it in a cup. The cinnamon helps with inflammation.
