Coronavirus

....so did my brother.
I had a blast of Moderna a couple of hours ago...
I said to the check- in woman, "I read this can blow your heart up"...(I was jokingly exaggerating).
"Don't believe all you read" she said, before handing me a leaflet with myocarditis and pericarditis (inflammation of the heart) as potential, 'frequency unknown' side effects 🙂

Everyone's favourite from other possible side effects leaflets is 'death'.

The lady who did my injection said here comes the sharp scratch, I said that felt more like a finger poke than sharp scratch, she said what was I suppose to say, here comes the knock-out blow! 🙂

I'm not sure why 'sharp scratch' is the accepted pre-injection warning - it does tend to undersell what's coming.

I get told sharp *****/scratch for my depot injection in my buttocks and that does qualify as a sharp scratch/*****. 🙂

Had our rooster booster this morning, in the shape of Pfizer.

...barely able to move my arm after Moderna booster.
Needless to say, Tommy Cooper doctor joke came to mind:
'It hurts when I do this"
"Well don't do it then".

Ditto. Aware of it when I raise my arm significantly, but otherwise fine.

Same here! Feel like I got the flu too.

I know how you feel ....don't really fancy this becoming regular, even if only once a year.
(Though we all know it's better than the alternative possiblity).

This jab isn’t good. Got a rash on my arm now!

Think you need to report rashes, Gel. Ask your doctor about it or maybe bigboss can offer his expert opinion?

 

[bigboss]

It would depend on the type and extent of the rash. Speak to your doctor.

I will take a picture of it:

What do you think?

My sisters arm the top half was all swollen and she got medication for it but took her a while to talk to her doctors.

Looks ok. You can take an anti-histamine like piriton or cetirizine or loratidine. You can buy them over the counter, often sold as hay fever tablets.

Thanks! 👍

I only had heaviness in the arm - it felt like carrying a bag of spuds around. Only lasted a few hours though.

Ahhh covid arm. There have been a few Reactions that I have heard of. The leaflet you got when you got the jab had the info you need to report this and what action you need to do.

I was lucky no side affects from any of the three jabs.

To be honest, I've had worse from a flu jab.

Why report it? It clearly states on the leaflet of the possible side effects, which incl. possible rashes.
Granted if arm is flashing like a aircraft beacon...
My bro, who's 70 & fit as a flea, had terrible shakes which only lasted about an hour. Otherwise he's fine. That wasn't on the leaflet AFAIR

As I said "I think you need to report rashes". I have not had my booster yet so I haven't seen the leaflet, okay? This has all been cleared by bigboss' advice anyway.

Easy. I'm only trying to reassure gel as I only had mine 3 days ago.

Thanks to both of you, it’s all cool. 👍

Words can easily be misconstrued, apologies.

The rash has got bigger and it’s quite hot too but my family are keeping an eye on it. I definitely don’t want Moderna again.
