Oxford vaccine - side effects

[Dendycat]

I woke up in the night (about 13 hours later) feeling uncomfortable and nauseous. Spent the next 6 hours running to the loo trying to be sick, then had a headache for the rest of the day. The next day I had a very mild headache but was ok by day 3.

Had mine on last Friday. I had a really sore arm from the Saturday which lasted a few days and then was a bit itchy. No chills or anything but I had some odd muscle twitches. Not sure if that was related.
Felt fine otherwise.

[aladdin]

for the first one it absolutely knocked me sideways, i had fever, chills, body aches, nausea and vomiting, even nose bleeds! the second one, nothing but a sore arm and fatigue/thirst

The first dose
I experienced chills, headache, fatigue for about 36 hours. Second one nothing not even a sore arm!

I had my second one on Tuesday. Did feel a bit rougher than the first time, arm hurts more - but I have got a nice looking bruise. Felt a bit rough / fluey on and off, at one point my skin hurt, but I was well enough to go to work - and to be honest I felt better at work, so wonder if some of the symptoms were in my mind? Felt much better the next day - so pleased to be fully covered

We had a colleague have two days off after jab. The rest of us have battled on. We asked said colleague if it could have been in the mind ... def not ' I coukdnt even pick up pre popped paracetamol from bedside table' . It must be tough being the only male in a group of females. The eye rolling was deafening!

Some symptoms are real!

I felt like I had the flu for a week, and needed daytime naps for 3 weeks after the first jab. No symptoms at all with the second jab.

Neither me or my husband had any symptoms with either dose of AZ,not even a sore arm.

Hiubby has had no side effects with either of his jabs.
I had a few hours feeling chilly and a couple days feeling a little tired on the first one, second one the same but a lot milder.
My daughter has had her first one and just felt under the weather for a few days, but still working from home as before. She has had mild headaches this week, but more from worry about the jab and side affects in her age group we think. (DD is 39)

I've got my second jab tomorrow. 🤞🏼 I feel ok!
