How rough did you feel after your first jab?

Mid March. No soreness in arm. No real effects at all. Presume I was given an EU placebo version off the back of a Romanian truck being dumped by Ursula.

First jab late Feb no issue at all.
Second jab fortnight ago went fine but next day had a bad dose of gout, not sure if they are related at all.

Isn't gout down to being a p1sshead ? only joking .

Thrilled at the thought !My wife had the AZ jab late Feb, as did 5 other colleagues of hers and they are the daytime On call fire crew for the area. They all had it the same day yet all different ages from 25-55 and they were all in bed for 3-4 days unable to move with aches, pains, fevers etc. As they all said if there had been a fire or responder shout none of them would have gone
My wife had her second jab 2 weeks ago and felt fine
I had my first jab 2 weeks ago and I had a sore neck and arm, next morning very tired and I kept stumbling into things miss judging where tables and chairs etc were, I defiantly wouldn’t have been fit to drive first thing in the morning!! I slept for 4 hours in the afternoon and then I’ve been fine since
We are both 31 though
Both of us having the AZ on Wednesday. Flat out busy at home and managing another place as well for a couple of months.

You will be OL LBP if you get given an EU placebo AZ version like me!! Didn't even fell the needle going in!

Do admit , I am not teetotal, and confess occasionally to having drunk more than I should, but last hangover was 40 years ago , thank g*d.
Probably not drinking enough water according to some experts, so it is less coffee and tea more H2O

Is it ever going to be a good time though was my thinking
I didn’t feel mine go in at the mass clinic and it’s only 0.5ml so hardly anything, watched it go in and asked for the needle and syringe to take home to jab sheep with but they declined ☹ Wife didn’t feel it either at the mass clinic but when she had it done the first time at local GP’s they told them to tense their arm and clinch a fist and she said it was total agony with a sore arm for weeks and she isn’t usually fazed by injections although that DR is known for being slightly sadist and I think @JLLM will know the woman I mean

Bizarrely, for us in this bit of France, August would be a good time. Everything done, nothing growing, farmers take their holidays... in August

@Supergirl and I had our first jabs (AZ) at Ludlow Racecourse Vaccination Centre on 16th March. Extremely well organised and efficient. Neither of us had any issues afterwards, whatsoever.

Had the AZ jab at 7.30pm, all fine. Woke up around 3am shivering with temperature, that wore off after about an hour and some Nurofen, but felt lousy for 36 hrs, like a cross between coming down with flu, and the worlds worst hangover

Yea 9-10 hrs after going into a shivering mess seems to be norm

Is this just with the Astra Zeneca or is a flu like reaction seen with the others ?

Just AZ from what I’m hearing, everyone I know at severe risk or over 75 had Pfizer and it was no side effect, less than a flu jab in fact. Older than 60 having AZ said like the flu, younger having flu/hangovers etc
