Well…interesting! 10 days after having the covid vaccine (Astrazeneca) I now have a tight,scratchy/itchy throat and feel a bit stuffy up the nose plus have one sore eye.
MS being troublesome - or something is - with very stiff leg muscles, increased nerve pain etc. Anyway, our local authority is asking people to get a lab test if they have the less common covid symptoms, so I’m popping off later today to get one.
Wish me luck. If anyone can catch covid just after having the jab, it would be me. Had a hospital appt last week which is really the only place I went!
Hi Minnie
sorry that you have been left feeling so poorly after the vaccine.
The centre local to me was doing the Pfizer jab and I had the first one with no side effects at all.
the 2nd jab will be on 24th May.
10 days seems a long time to develop side effects and I really hope it’s not the covid virus.
Good luck with the lab test.
Hope it isn’t Covid but they do say you can still get it before the vaccine has chance to kick in.Good luck with the test!
Test result texted tonight - negative! So must have another virus causing sore throat etc. Wonder where I got it from?! Very quick processing time though for a lab test - done at midday, result back at 6.30pm, that’s impressive.
that’s wonderful news Minnie!
Back in the good old days (pre Covid) sore throats were quite commonplace.
Maybe it’s strep throat?
maybe gargling with Listerine could help?
I understand you well because I was also recently vaccinated with Pfizer, and I have side effects. I took the vaccination process very hard, and I am surprised that I am alive. The strangest thing is that I got suspicious two months after the vaccine and decided to purchase a rapid test kit from confirmbiosciences. Test result for covid was positive. I don’t understand how, after the vaccine, I could get sick with covid again. I think that this is nonsense, and I risked it in vain when I was vaccinated.
Transmission is through the airborne and contact routes
