Weird here, 8:20 am today had the AZ, felt fine ask day bar an achy arm, then at 4:20pm BANG couldn't even hold a spanner, felt like death, aching all over, sore throat, heavy head, just shit! Had tea and some paracetamol and feel a lot better but it's such a word feeling!
Had first AZ jab today at 2:30 pm. Feeling ok.
1st AZ jab about 9:30 this morning. About 6pm started feeling cold, shivery, achey. Necking ibuprofen sorted it, but by 10 pm I was shaking like a shitting dog.
I haven’t the energy to read back or google. Is there any consensus if having had CV-19 makes the side effects worse or not?
1st jab AZ - best described as severe fatigue, achy, occassionally cold, jabbed friday, ok till saturday morning, then decidely off my game, probably felt ok again tuesday.
riding tomorrow night but cant say im buzzing to get out, i will, but just a bit meh.
edit: not had covid
Pfizer 1st jab last Monday
No significant concerns but my right arm feels like I've pulled / strained my forearm. Probs coincidental but it's been 10 days now and still sore.
No fatigue, no impact on my diabetes or blood sugar stability. No cold/flue like sx either.
Of course, everyone is saying "yeah it's the second one that gets ya".
Doubtful.
Also lining up for my first flu shot (obviously well spaced from covid shot 1 and 2) for the start of the flu season and I'll get another one (diff brand) at the end of the flu season as usual.
Had mine at 3pm yesterday. This morning I don’t feel too bad, a cross between a standard hangover and a heavy weight lifting session. Will be interesting to see what develops over the next couple of days. My RHR over night and stress levels were high according to my Garmin. In line with a drinking session but without the drink.
Paracetamol and caffeine for the moment.

@timmys Mate of mine has been vaccinating folk, they're asking those who are in for second jabs what reaction they had to the first jab. He says those who've had covid report worse side effects, so yes, makes it worse, anecdotally.
The other trend seems to be that first jab leads to worse side effects with AZ but less bad after second dose. Pfizer seemingly the other way round. Again anecdotal.
Jab 1 on Tues at 1230-ish. It was the AZ flavour.
Felt fine all day until 2230 and all of a sudden had chills that bad I was sat in front of the stove with the door open to keep warm. Went to bed.
Sleep was problematic, up a lot to go for a piss. Resting Heart rate in bed was 65, which is 20bpm over normal. Was actually glad to get up in the morning as I couldn't sleep. Paracetamol and 60mg of the wife's codeine every 4h seemed to help, to the point that by 1600 I had decided I could after all manage the 47th consecutive day on the bike. Today I feel fine except for a slight ache in the arm where the needle went in.
All in, the symptoms felt very much like when I had the 'Rona back in Jan, except without the sweating profusely in bed.
Just have a slight headache and feeling of lethargy this morning but my shoulder is hurting so had to call in sick (job is manual).
had 1st AZ on monday lunchtime, slightly lethargic in the afternoon and then a mild headache the next day but pretty much fine from then on. Haven't been for a run as precaution but may do this afternoon. never had Covid (unless completely asymptomatic but that's unlikely), 44yo.
In a wierd way I'm glad I had some form of reaction to know that it's worked...
I had AZ yesterday and it put me on my back for most of today.
Had the jab about half five yesterday. Wouldn't have known I'd had it, no arm pain, all absolutely fine up until about half 2 this morning. Then out of the blue my wrists started hurting, I initially thought maybe too much keyboard.
Next thing I know, it's like flu. Proper full-on flu, not your "bad cold" nonsense. Temperature all over the place, sweating cobs one minute and shivering and can't get warm the next. Muscles feel like really bad cramp, joints hurt in a manner I envisage chronic arthritis must feel like. Oh, and shooting pains, they're fun, just dozing off and I get an electric bolt in my calf or somewhere. At one point I thought I was getting migraine auras but that passed quite quickly and uneventfully thank the gods. Weirdly, the one thing I haven't had is the 'brain fog' you get with flu. I can think as, well, for what passes for normal.
I slept fitfully all night, my OH gets up for work at 5 so I was popular. I got up a couple of hours after she did, cancelled all my meetings and told the boss I was going back to bed, then did just that.
Finally dragged my carcass out of bed at about 2:30pm and that was only cos I had stuff I really had to do, like putting out overflowing bins for collection tomorrow and feeding cats. I think I'm badly dehydrated (probably from sweating), I've drunk like at least a gallon of water and am still pissing Tango.
It eventually started lifting late afternoon, I'm feeling somewhat better but my back, calves and arms really hurt still. Tried to eat twice, first was a single mouthful of toast this afternoon which I threw straight back up, and I've made a bowl of soup just now which I also briefly rented.
Still, I'll take all that over Long CoViD.
For added LOLs,
It later hit my partner just after lunch whilst she was at work. Similar symptoms but seemingly less severe. She's been potching about the house this evening despite my protestations and there was no way I could've done that this afternoon.
1st AZ yesterday at 1pm. All normal most of yesterday, but by 10pm started to feel 'just not quite right'. By 2am had adopted the foetal position, shivering, fever, couldn't get warm.
Woke up at 7am, very slightly better but with the bonus of a slightly achy arm and slight headache. Booked sick.
By 2pm today felt pretty much normal. Terrible gutrot tonight. Bored enough to feel like a gamble so I've put myself right for work again tomorrow.
AZ 1st Jab yesterday
I've already had Covid,
Feel a tiny bit fluey and had some weird dreams last night-which always happens when I'm ill, still gonna squeeze in a couple of hours on the bike b4 work today.
weirdly and I've no idea if this is related my balls were aching last night and still a timy bit today- anyone else or just the mysterious nature of my own scrotum?
2nd jab yesterday. Bit achey and knackered a few hours later, feeling fine this morning. Same as jab 1, basically.

A quick google on the internet will fix that for you.
had it monday, mild headache monday night and tues morning.
only side effect of significance is shoulder joint on the side they injected has been pretty sore the last day or so. lymph node by the collar bone on that side is swollen and sore.
You got the covid 19 blues ?
You aint alone...
Moderna. Last Wednesday at 6 pm. Felt fine at the time, gradual pain building in arm and by morning I could hardly lift my arm above shoulder height. Lasted for a couple of days and dissipated completely by Sat am. No other side affects. One dose of Moderna gives 95% cover so wondering people may skip #2. I suppose it gives added time to your cover. I will have #2 obvs.

Post a pic 😀
AstraZenica first jab at 1pm yesterday.
Felt fine all day although the arm I was injected in started to ache later in the pm.
Went to bed at ten and after maybe an hour of sleep I woke up feeling awful.
Arms, legs, neck and head aching, feel really weak but can’t sleep so I’m now nursing a hot chocolate on the sofa wrapped in blankets.
AZ first job a little over 48 hours ago (Sunday morning)
Felt ok for a few hours but developed a blinding headache, elevated heat rate and painful arm by early evening.
Went to bed around 10pm with serious shivers and barely slept a wink all night.
Started feeling better yesterday afternoon, but still had a strong headache. Much better nights sleep last night.
This morning the headache is better but if i wasn't WFH i'd have taken a day off sick as feel generally 'unwell' and ache all over.
If this is the reaction to the vaccine i reckon COVID would have probably killed me.
shoulder has finally settled down after a week. although i've still got a small lump by my collarbone buts its smaller and not sore anymore.
44 year old female First jab AZ last monday 9:30 am
Felt ok till about 7pm that night when I got uncontrolable shivering that lasted till about midnight followed by fever till the morning.
On Tuesday couldn't lift arm above shoulder height but that cleared up by the next day.
Then a week of brain fog and fatigue with several afternoon naps(work from home). Still a little weary one week on but much better.
Had mine (AZ) at lunchtime and been feeling disorientated since and now starting to feel verrrry cold. Sounds like I’m in for a fun night.
Had mine Monday morning, also been struggling to regulate my temperature, shivering one minute, sweating next. Arm is ok, just a bit tender to touch.
Is anyone finding fatigue an issue. Though I feel its waning now for about a week i found myself able to sleep at any time during the day for 5 or 6 hours.
Admittedly I keep irregular hours with no set routine of sleep. But even after a nights sleep of six hours(usual for me) i find myself tired only a few hours later, and if i lie down I find ive slept at least another three, maybe four. And then maybe again six or so hours later feel im dropping off.
2nd jab on Monday. No hot/cold issues like the first one however this time it was headache and aching limbs. Cancelled last nights ride as still feeling rough but ok now. Paracetamol helped.
A clubmate has reported tiredness and lack of energy for 3 weeks since he had the jab - the variation in side effects is massive
Couple of weeks since the first jab and nothing here. Slightly sore shoulder for a couple of days but nothing else.
Wife (40) had quite a big fever (41 degrees) for 36 hrs after her first jab of AZ a couple of weeks back. I was half expecting the same when I (43) got mine. Ended up just feeling a bit tired/off/achey for 24 hours...very mild really and i'm sure partly I was subconsciously milking it to get a few hours rest away from the kids 🙂
Lots of mates similar age to me seem to have had similarly mild reactions to AZ.
Good luck to all those getting theirs soon.
Got my second jab booked this morning.
The Vauxhall Astra one again I suppose.
Still quite surprised at 47 to be getting it just yet but we'll go with it.
I had a sore arm for a few days from the first one and aching bones and tiredness, but then I literally ALWAYS have that so don't know if it was the jab or my age.
A bit worried the second might make me feel real crook but we'll see.
Had first AZ jab 3 days ago. Sore arm at the time, which has now pretty much cleared up. No other side effects, other than Mrs Mellie thought I was acting as though I was a bit drunk in the hours immediately after. May have just been my overall giddiness at being jabbed though 🤷♂️
Is anyone finding fatigue an issue.
Yes - 4 days on from first AZ jab and i'm still tired and achy.
AZ, sore arm and tired yesterday, had "brain fog" for want of a better description today, struggling to focus, almost like being dizzy but without the spinning.
Much easier than Mrs hoppy had it.
First AZ jab yesterday (41, and as an Oxford boy born and bred I was quite proud to get this). Felt a little fuzzy during the evening, had a few beers at my boys cricket training, ate a pizza, now I feel like I've been tackled by Courtney Lawes.
Going home after lunch and going back to bed.
Had my second Astra jab on Friday more of the same headache, overall fatigue & lethargy but less of a 'feeling beaten up' that I had after 1st jab and these haven't been as instant gradually building up over the days in fact.
Had my first Moderna jab last Wednesday.
Dead arm lasted until Friday. I felt pretty fatigued for a couple of days but nothing too serious - still got out for a run on Thursday and again Friday.
Heart rate on my runs was elevated a fair bit higher then usual though, recent MHR had been 170 bpm for most runs but hit 182 bpm on Thursday's run. So I suspect that was vaccine related. It's still remaining higher during exercise than usual.
Age 42 Human Male, had 1st AZ jab last tuesday at about 4pm.
Rest of Tues: Felt fine, might have been a bit sweaty overnight
Wed: Felt like I had been hit by a truck, everything ached, overnight i had a temperature
Thur: Aching subsided at 10amish, felt ok by the evening aside from sore injection site.
Fri: Felt normal, rode bike, had absolutely nothing in my legs, lactic acid build up super quick, HR through the roof.
Sat: Felt normal but didn't exercise really
Sunday: Same as Friday, less than ideal...
Had my first on Saturday. Felt a bit dizzy for the rest of the day and had a headache that ibuprofen sorted + my arm was sore. Slept fine and went to work on Sunday where I felt below par but was able to continue as normal. Felt rough last night and my shoulder hurt but slept fine again. Back at work today, felt groggy but did a 5k run and feel fine now.
43 and had the AZ btw.
Had AZ yesterday morning, fine all day, maybe a bit of a tingle on the arm around the injection site. Then at 11pm ish, my arm felt like someone had punched it over and over, severe shivers started too. Went to bed then went the opposite way and had a temperature, woke up every 30 mins and felt awful. Today, no fever but arm hurts and very out of it and can't concentrate. Other half had AZ last Wednesday and had the same happen to her and was mostly over it by Sunday.
I'm 43, she is 42.
My parents (nearly 70) seem to have no ill effects when they had theirs, my sister also had hers yesterday and I think so far she is fine.
Had 2nd jab of the Vauxhall Astra Vaccine 6 days ago. Had a terrible reaction to the first one, felt awful for 3 weeks, still feeling the effects after 5. Was hoping might get away with less reaction to 2nd.... No Chance...not quite as bad as first time around but still feel dire, Zero energy, aching, muscle pains, abdominal pain, floored after mild exertion. Luckily I 'work' for myself so I can make up for it when no longer feel like am being sat on by an elephant. If we ever have to have these things again I think I'd opt to upgrade to one of the more desirable models...
41 F had AZ Thursday morning and by lunchtime started with the aches and shivers, took paracetamol and got a hot water bottle and felt off but ok.
That night was horrible, jangly nerves, weird dreams/fever, headache and discombobulated but the neausea was horrendous. Fri AM felt shocking still but about 24hrs after symptoms started it all eased and was left just feeling a bit off with a sore arm.
Edit:
Was quite amazed at how my tracker picked up on the 'stress' considering I barely moved too. Interesting to see the effects in that way
I'm just a bit fatigued if I do anything now but otherwise fine
1st AZ jab on Saturday morning, had a bit of the shivers and general aching Saturday evening, took 4 paracetamol that afternoon and evening, got loads of sleep and then felt 95% Sunday morning and back to normal by Sunday afternoon. Today I have a very, very slight ache in my arm where the jab was but I've just done a quick hour/9 miles/1000ft climbing MTB ride and felt fresh as I've ever felt.
Dunno if this is a side affect but I was mega hungry Saturday evening, was munching on anything I could fine!!
40 this week.
