Post nasal drip / scleroderma

[KathleenMary]

I have recently had my 4th covid vaccination,since when I have developed a continuous post nasal drip and cough ,my eyes are clogged up ,my throat is sore and I am struggling to swallow.

Advice please should I contact GP or rheumatology help line?

I am so tired and depressed by it all

I am hoping it will wear off soon for you. Tylenol works for me in drying up sniffles, saline nasal rinse spray, gargle with Listerine, vitamin D gives me energy and water with an aloe vera concentrate my daughter bought me helps with swallowing. Yes, please call your doctor for relief. Maybe even a prescription for eye drops, too. Feel better soon.

Thanks for your sympathy and advice.i saw a doctor who checked me over and prescribed a nasal cortisone spray. Let's hope it does the trick

Hi Kathleen so sorry to hear of your symptoms. I presume you have ruled out having covid? It’s just my friend got jab then developed really similar symptoms n she actually had covid as well!! Hope you start to feel better soon. The jabs are really horrible. My 4th one Moderna was the worst. Take care

Thanks momo, I have done numerous lateral flow tests-all negative. I saw an actual doctor yesterday who did a thorough check of me and prescribed a nasal cortisone spray so here's hoping

Oh that’s great you got to see doctor. Hope the spray works. Take care

Hi, Momo. Why 4 jabs? Were the last 2 just boosters? I had the J&J , then the booster just last November. I was wondering if I should now get the Pfizer booster? Just curious why you were given 4 and what reactions you had to the 4th one.

Hi, I had 3 primary doses as I’m immunosuppressed and then the booster. The doses were made up of 2 Oxford, the Pfizer and then the Moderna. I think anyone classed as vulnerable (originally on shielding list) should’ve been in line for same. Hope that clarifies things. The reaction I had like my body had turned to stone. I suffer with pain n limited movement anyway but this was off the chart!! So stiff n in so much pain. Shivers n sore head too. Thankfully just lasted at that level the 48 hours but I’m still very stiff altho that could just be with winter

I've also had two Oxford and two Pfizer received the 4th after my GP sent me a letter saying I needed a 4th as I was immunosuppressed
