Vaccine Side Effects - What side effects did you get from your vaccine?

I got my first Pfizer jab 2 days ago and last night I experienced severe abdominal pain for 4 hours. Worst night of my life. 1 hour sleep. Almost phoned 999. No vomiting or other symptoms, just severe pain like I took a bad kicking to the stomach. Slightly better now but worried about eating. Has anyone else experienced this? I've read about nausea but that didn't really present itself except during hour 2 or 3 when the pain was really unbearable. I've no underlying conditions and in good shape physically.

Sore arm after both jabs. No other side effects.

Moderna

Still not right after second Pfizer dose a week ago.

No strength at all, diarrhea, dizziness, hot flushes. The joint and head pain have passed thankfully. Hope to get back to work tomorrow.

Mid 30s, male, good health.

Not looking forward to a booster!

Sounds like I got lucky. Very mild symptoms both times. Pfizer.

But now I'm able to travel without hindrance and feel like I am "safer"... I'll take a headache and fatigue any day with the benefits it brings.

It's subsiding now especially with Panadol and just a small breakfast. But I might give them a call to see what they say.

Nonsense I had the flu vaccine for the first time a few years back, I had far worse side effects with that than I did with the AZ

Pfizer

Dose 1: Was aware of a tiny pain in the arm I got the injection in (if you pinched your arm very lightly and held it, that's the pain).

That lasted until the end of the day after the vaccine.

Dose 2: Nothing at all.

I've 3 other people in our house. My missus had shivers on the day after the first dose. Nothing after the second.

The other 2 said they felt slightly tired after their first dose (but can't verify if that's vaccine related, they're always tired). They haven't had dose 2 yet.

Yep doing better and out of hospital thanks.

No clots thank god, they had me worried when they said they suspected that cause of my bloods combined with extreme difficulty breathing.

They put it down a bad gastro reaction to the vaccine and gave me some strong stomach tablets. High blood markers they put down to my immune system just reacting to vaccine too and should go back to normal.

Having so much time to google in hospital I did come across a study from phd student in james hospital that showed 25% of people that had actual COVID had high D-Dimmer results for 4 month after getting COVID (high d-dimmer suggests possible clots), but none of them had any actual clots!

Yes, I had similar for about 36 hours after my 2nd Pfizer jab

Both jabs seemed to trigger my gallstones, the episode after the second was so bad I thought I'd have to seek medical attention. I couldn't lie on one side, couldn't raise my head due to dizziness. Thankfully it passed, and I was fine after the 36 hours.

My normal gallstone attacks last between 20 minutes and 2-3 hours, so this was definitely an outlier!

I didn't know tinnitus is a symptom. I had awful ringing in my ears a couple of weeks ago before my vaccine. Like I spent a night in a nightclub. Just one ear and no other symptoms. Lasted a full week.

Now I feel bad because I didn't know, so didn't get tested and continued on into work. But no one else around me were getting sick but I always wear my mask inside. So it just goes to show how important it is to wear face masks. You could have covid and not know about it.

I had a worse reaction to the vaccines I had to take going to the tropics a few years ago than I did to the Covid vaccine. Totally normal for vaccines to have side effects. Much much better in all cases than getting the disease of course.

Pfizer

Pain in arm after both doses, but only when arm was stretched or lifted above shoulder height.

2nd dose didn't make me feel particularly tired, but I ended up sleeping 12 hours that night, when I usual average 6-7, then had a 'quick nap' the next day and woke up 4 hours later :)
