Waiting for phone calls from medical people..grrrr

I was also told the dressing would be done every four days instead of two so called the Docs office left a message as he was very explicit about them following his instructions
I knew it was not a good job and called my doc's office

@hollydolly .. the booster might make you feel poorly, but, I hope you decide to get it soon. We didn't have reactions to any of our shots, nor did SIL. However, daughter reacted to all 3 .. a few days of slight fever.

@hollydolly I got the booster along with the other two vaccines as my immune system is pretty much on the low side. Your arm may ache for 24 to 48 hours and you might feel tired and achy for about that time as well but like @Pinky stated it is well worth it.

That is basically what you can expect from the booster. I am not going to fabricate it for ya. For myself though I need the most possible coverage I can get with the way my immune system is. It was well worth feeling that way for like 36 hours.

yes I understand your situation , I would do the same in your position...

however, I had Covid at the beginning of 2020... I was poorly with that, and then I had immunity for well over a year.. and then 18 months later had the first vaccine, and it made me very poorly for several days, and the only reason I went and had the 2nd one in October.. was because I felt I;d gone through the after effects of the first one for nothing, and it wouldn't protect me.. and sure enough I actually got sicker with the 2nd one.. , so I keep getting texts from my Doctor to go and have the booster, but I'm not rushing out of the door ...

Honestly, and I am not a Doctor for sure but you have had Covid so you do have some immunity from having the virus. You have had the two vaccines already. You are healthy from the way you speak so in my opinion I wouldn't be rushing out to get the booster either. I would wait and see how this whole virus thing seems to wind down. If it winds down and everything becomes quiet with Covid then fine. If another variant does pop up then go get the booster.

that's pretty much my idea...tbh. Given that we in the UK are now having all covid mandate recommendations lifted by the end of February, I'll see how it goes, but I'm more concerned about travel tbh. currently we can't travel out of the country without having the booster jab.. unless we go through a whole myriad of testing in our country and all the countries we visit before our return to this Sceptred Isle.. not good, in fact it can be very expensive, not to mention stressful getting the right paperwork and testing just prior to the flights , so I'm torn between a rock and a hard place, because I desperately want to get out of the country for a while..

I can see your dilemma. If travelling is a big priority to you then you just might want to weigh it out this way. Having these symptoms from the booster jab for 24 to 48 compared to the not having all the hassle you would have to go through with travel. Maybe make a pros and cons list of both and see which has more. I think you might be surprised. Travelling is a wonderful thing especially after being the situation we have all been through this past 2 years.
