are we allowed to talk about side effects of the vaccine just like we talk about side effects of pills or risks of certain vitamins on this forum?
I thought it was all in my head. My dad assured me it was just because of being in a good mood that day.
within about 30 minutes of the pfizer vaccine I feel super high, like a euphoria. It happened each time, lasted about a day or two then went away. So like others they have the muscle cramps or chills. For me, I feel stimulated, have euphoria and delirium or disconnection. I couldn’t sleep. Its like it made me manic…I felt this all connection I could hear the music from everywhere.
I had the first dose March 18 2021 second April 25 2021 and third September 22 2021
so far I still dont know if there is a connection between the blood clots, low white blood cell count and the vaccines. I found that out in June and got a CT scan that showed blood clots in my lungs. Since no one said there was a connection I went ahead and got a third dose.
Both of mine knocked me flat on my back, like I had the dreaded Man Flu. I’ve since discovered that I’ve been directly exposed to COVID twice after vaccination without getting sick, and that was the main side-effect I wanted.
It wasnt necessarily a bad feeling but it was strange…I know everyone has a different unique response to meds and vaccines. I do feel a bit more relieved that I have gotten it over with…despite so many out there keep saying that its “experimental”
My rationale for getting the booster shot is that its September. I was advised to get the booster in December but I have a gut feeling there could be a vaccine shortage by that time when its available to everyone 18+ so that would be bad…
Also covid19 is spiking right now in this state. I think the vaccines wear off about 6 months and that waiting 8 months is too long because of people getting breakthrough infections at 6-8 months.
My first shot was Astrazeneca.I had a really sore arm for about a week and some body chills for a few days.
My second shot was Pfizer. My arm wasn’t nearly as sore and only for a few days, no other side effects.
The Astrazeneca was 0.5ml while the Pfizer was 0.3ml so maybe that difference in dosage made a difference in the soreness of my arm.
But overall my side effects were minor.
I don’t know if/when I will eligible for a booster shot, but if I am I will get Pfizer. I hear a lot about waning immunity for the Pfizer, Moderna and Astrazeneca vaccines but I haven’t heard anything about people like me who mixed and matched so I have no idea what my immunity is like right now. My second shot was about 3 months ago on June 22nd.
I’m hyper-sensitive. But I have always boasted a strong immune system. I think I have an over-active immune system. That’s not always a good thing hormones and genetic issues cause my illness HS which is recommended hormone treatment or immunosuppressive medications.
I never had HS before I started Abilify. I wonder if there is a link–it caused the obesity too. I never smoked before I was put on Abilify and gained all this weight…I never had breathing problems or sleep apnea before Abilify. And now I find out Abilify turns off like 10 expressions of my Genes?
A few days ago on some other thread @Zoe told me she had a friend who had an antipsychotic side effect disappear after getting the shot. (At least I think that is what she said, I could be misremembering)
These shots are like any other medication. Different people have different reactions, it seems some reactions are rare or even unique.
I had covid and 2 Pfizer doses so I am immunized 3 times. First dose felt sick I vomitted but not with 2nd dose. 2nd dose I just had a headache for 1-2days. But even the 1st dose was much less severe than covid. Covid I was too sick with fever for 2 weeks, lost my taste and smell for a month, bad coughing and extremely tired for two weeks.
Don’t fully rely on the vaccine to keep you from catching covid. I am fully vaccinated and still caught it. Was mild, yes, but was even mild on my unvaccinated kids. So i don’t know what strain we caught.
I had that too but that was unrelated I think…it wasnt 2 months it just lasted a long time. I looked at my health records and realized that I have higher than normal thyroid levels. I dont know why the GP never mentioned that I have high levels of thyroid that are similar to someone who is pregnant…but I wasnt pregnant…I compared all three tests…they are slightly higher than normal.
