I don't mind the flu shots when my doctor nags me as I'm asthmatic (with complications) but I would never again have a covid shot. Not after the last time. Nasty. Everyone is different . I did have problems with the first Covid jab , but after that , just a bit of a sore arm . Had to have it though , I was working front line at time . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it has been around for a long time. I think we take a risk with any vaccine , not just Covid . I suppose the Flu jab , despite the fact it has been around a long time , can still affect some . Depends what they put in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got progressively worse to the point where I could only walk about three hundred metres. After that I had to rest for couple of hours. It got to the point that I thought I was going to become crippled. It would last for weeks and then I would get better, but come back weeks later. Happened three times in succession. It seems to be gone from my life now. Interestingly, I was telling a friend about this and she told me a mutual friend had exactly the same symptoms shortly after his covid jab... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember laying on the settee with a high temperature, hot one minute and cold the next, my thoughts all over the place. I remember thinking that I might die, but it wouldn't matter. I was well out of it. Know what you mean . But ,one day I had to laugh . The phone rang & I didn't have one upstairs at the time , so more or less crawled downstairs , because I thought it may be Mum . Got there , eventually , & answered phone & this pleasant young lass , said " Hi , this is Lisa from Fitness First , I am just letting you know we have an offer on " . I said , excuse me , but I have Flu , so don't think I will be bothering . She was devastated & said " I am so sorry for ringing " . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look on it a bit like one of my fave films , Close Encounters . We have smaller white cells that fight infection ,( smaller ships ) , and then when they struggle , the bigger ones kick in ( Mother Ship ) . That is probably what happened to you . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
