Quick run down I had my vaccine at 9am yesterday. Everything was fine apart from the sore arm and a headache...typical symptoms. 6pm my headache got worse I was going freezing cold not hot, it got that bad I was shaking from my insides  i couldn't  warm up so I went to bed I couldn't warm up tried to relax slightly movement back to square 1.I got up at 7.20 went to the bathroom,,I was in desperate need of a drink stood next to it i was shaking again my glass fell into the sink next thing I know I was on the floor took me 5 mins to get up I got a drink and went back to bed   I wouldn't do that normally  it was 7 40 I told my husband he was worried and still keeps asking are you OK so I had another hour and got up.Still can't warm up but I must have landed on my coccyx  as it is killing me just to sit down..I must've been on the floor for a good 10/15 mins

@janer1967 My hubby had his 3 weeks ago apart from sore arm still got that tired at beginning  but nothing else. You must be one of the lucky people  not having any side effects

@lisathomas50 111 they said if it gets any worse ring back hope your granddaughter gets better soon  xx

@woodbine she is 22 a student nurse for some reason more people seem to react to the Oxford one  afre prople where I live have reacted to it 

My granddaughter  asked why she had such a severe reaction and all they said was  that everyone is different 

She is still poorly but not as bad  my granddaughter questioned it because its not suposed to be a live vacinstion but all the symptoms she has are as if she has corona virus

@Swatteam thank you  the hospital said she should start feeling better in a few days 

Hope your wife gets better just keep an eye and get help if required ?

After these comments I have upgraded info sent to cancer survivord about what to do if a reaction sets in, as it seems that the official advice to fill in a Yellow Card isn't being given out. More on www.aftercancers.com/vaccine-programme

Swatteam

Thank you ill pass the info on
