Fatigue following Pfizer Covid Jab

[Wired123]

Hi all, I had my first Covid jab 7 days ago. I have been hypothyroid (Hashi’s) and take both T3 and T4, under the care of an Endo.

I didn’t have much in terms of side effects just the sore arm and a slight fever a day after the jab which resolved quickly.

Unfortunately I have had a tremendous amount of fatigue since having the jab and am sleeping excessive amounts, feel sleepy very early, do not feel refreshed when I wake and often go back to sleep after waking in the morning.

I slept at 9pm yesterday, woke at 7.45am and am STILL tired!

Normally I would sleep at 11pm and wake around 7am so something is clearly wrong since taking the jab.

Nothing else has changed in my diet/lifestyle except the injection so I feel this is the culprit.

Any advice or experience?

Note that I am not sharing blood test results or asking for advice on thyroid levels as this change has been brought about directly since taking the jab so it will be interesting if there’s experiences on this forum of similar occurrences particularly for Hashi’s sufferers.

I felt very tired for a week or so after my first AZ jab. I had no effects after the second.
