My husband had the 2 dose Phizer Germany and I had the J&J Netherlands one dose: Husband said the symptoms described below occurred after both dose 1 and dose 2.What kind of side effects have you had, if you don’t mind me asking?
Very mild full body muscle achiness. For a couple days. Sounds bad but it was barely noticeable. Just ignored it and went about our day.
I was moderately dizzy starting 45 minutes after injection which lasted for an hour or two.
We were both mildly dizzy, now and then, for the day of and day after the shot.
We both experienced very tired, not the type of tired from lack of sleep. It was/felt different then that. And was at times moderately severe. This occurred for day 1 and day 3 for me. This lasted 3-4 days for him
We both had a very low grade, not painful enough to take pain reliever, just an awareness that the head was feeling dull achy, pain. This also was not constant, it came and went 1 day for me 2-3 for him
Various degrees of nausea but never severe enough that we were concerned we might or felt an upchuck coming. This came and went for me on day 1 and day 3 after injection. I didn't have it on day 2. Husband had it off and on for 3 days. We ate even during the nausea attacks and it seemed to help it subside quicker.
We had almost no pain or stiffness in the arm. We were both advised to not lift weight above 10 to15 pounds for 2 days.
But to just keep the arm busy, moving and doing things. And when not using it to do things frequently just move it around, tighten and release the muscle.
We have done that with other vaccinations and it has always prevented any muscle ache, pain stiffness. It also helps to get the vaccine into the system faster so it can hurry up and do its job.
If the arm is left immobile, or pampered to much, the vaccine stays in a pool in the muscle and fat. That is why it gets a lump and the arm hurts.
Hope this helps. Drink lots of water (which you probably already do). That helps too.
