Afternoon all..

I'm not well. I had my COVID jab yesterday evening and woke this morning feeling a bit second hand.

This has progressed throughout the day to feeling utterly rubbish. I'm normally okay but this one has knocked me for six. General malaise, headache, in fact everything is aching and a bit of the hot and cold flushes and struggling to stay awake.

Needless to say, it's a feet up job.

Hope you feel better soon. I had both my Covid and flu jabs at the same time (different arms) and went straight off round the supermarket with no ill effects at all.

Last year, I had both Covid & flu at the same time. The next day I was useless (more so than usual) but thereafter, fine. This year I had both with no ill effects beyond my customary lethargy.

I hope you feel better tomorrow, Rob.

Keep taking the Jura. That'll sort you out.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

We both had our covid and flu jabs recently, I asked the doctor if he could put the second needle in the same hole as the first needle, so that it wouldn't hurt?
I don't think he had heard that before!!!!

Penderryn works equally as well as Jura

I have had flu jabs for years and Covid since introduced and never the slightest reaction.
Some of my close 'friends' assure me that it's 'no sense no feeling'
Sorry for those who do get a reaction but hope it protects form more serious problems.

Allen

Covid jab reaction?

You think you've got problems - my 14XX has just turned up. I could have sworn it was described as O Gauge.......

Same with me with the COVID jab - pretty well flat on my back for a day or so feeling very feverish. With all the jabs I've had over the years (lots of foreign travel at one point) it's the only jab that does this. However I haven't had Covid again since my first infection at the beginning of lock down so I treat it as a necessary evil.

I'm now considered to be an auld fart.....Shortly due for a free TV licence.....When that happens, I think I'll cancel it, just to be annoying.

I haven't had any covid jabs since we had to have them, in 2021!
I haven't ever had covid.
I haven't had flu since 2010 and the swine/Mexican flu outbreak, for which I got my sick leave paid for, and non-attributable as it was a recognized epidemic....When we all got tamiflu through the letterbox. Which made me even more 'ill!' [So I binned it]

Mind, I try to avoid jostling in crowds [Being able to fart at will, {whoever he is?} guarantees nobody stands too close behind me at Lidls' tills], and I don't attend shows, crowded pubs, parties, football matches [or any matches, for that matter]....or travel on public transport...even if for free.

I really cannot see the point in making myself ill now that I am , what they call, 'retired'....since I no longer get sick pay!
I attend a bloodletting at my GP surgery once or twice a year....and avoid sitting in their waiting areas as they are full of sick people!
I also insist the 'nurse' uses a clean needle as well.
I also use a different arm each time....I know what can happen if one makes too many holes on one side...

Not been well myself the last few weeks (nothing to do with jabs/covid etc) - but the really irritating thing about being ill is having plenty of time at home but no inkling whatsoever to do any modelling...

Only if you are claiming Pension Credit. Most pensioners lost it a few years ago. There could be a bit of a political argument about why there was no outcry about that costing most pensioners £150 per annum.
