Side effects

[heleninwales]

I have done virtually nothing today. I had the second dose of the shingles vaccine yesterday and felt very cold shivery in the night. I had to get up to put an extra blanket on my side of the bed. Then a couple of hours later I was boiling hot and had to push the blanket off again. Due to the disturbed night, I feel tired and my temperature is only just now heading back to normal.

However, the woolly headed feeling has more or less gone and there's still a couple of hours left to do a few useful things -- things that don't take any physical effort or much brain power!

So a miserable day, but I'd rather have 24-36 hours feeling under par than end up with shingles . I should be back to normal tomorrow after another night's sleep, though I will take things easy.

Sorry for the bad night. I hope last night was better.

I slept well last night and the last of the side effects has gone, even the soreness in my arm. I suppose I'll get a reaction when we have the covid and 'flu jabs later this month, but I'd rather that than get a severe illness.

Glad you slept. Good luck for the jabs - ours are next Monday.
