New round of jabs [split topic]

[Dr Rock]

Just got a text, all booked now. 3 weeks.

Bloody flu jabs are available for 50 and over now, just too late to book it for the same time as my Covid booster. Some coordination would be useful.

[GoblinAhFuckScary]

been reaching into post-boxes all week hoping to find one which will jab me

We got them in the US a couple of months ago, I think it started with just the older and more immunocompromised people, but after a while anyone could wander along. All my muscles felt tired the next day, but after that all was well.

[olliebean]

Had mine this afternoon. Arm hurting quite badly now, but I don't think it's as bad as it was after the first booster when it kept me awake most of the night. For only the second time out of four, they managed a bloodless injection.

Just had mine. Arm already hurts. Glad I stopped taking the natto-serra for my long Covid because there are a couple of things about blood thinners on the info sheet.

[olliebean]

Arm only hurt for a couple of days, unlike last time when it was more like a couple of weeks. Got my flu jab booked for Saturday now.

[purlieu]

Cripplingly painful heart pain this morning. 111 are sending an ambulance.

[Blue Jam]

Oh fuck, be well @purlieu, hope you get the attention and treatment you need x

[shiftwork2]

whut?  Updates when you can please.  All the best p.

[Norton Canes]

Shit. Yeah please let us know you're okay.

[purlieu]

ECGs, blood tests and X-rays so far. Waiting on results. Still in a lot of pain. Possible myocarditis but they think it's more likely to be a chest than a heart thing.

[purlieu]

Muscular inflammation. Might be combination of booster and long Covid. Tests came back clear. Been told to take parrots ate them all four times a day. Panic over.

I didn't even know this was still going on.  I thought covid was getting weaker and weaker and we'd been instructed by the government to (quote) "huff malignant spores until creche resumes".

Kin hell, good news.

Phew. Glad to hear it! You rest up now xxx

[purlieu]

At the current rate I reckon my chest will be back to normal in a couple of weeks. Today's the first day it's not been agony. Been a fun week.

I suppose there's something reassuring about being sent packing and told to bang paracetamol until it stops. Sounds horrible, get well soon.
