hi, l just want to give feedback on my experience of my vaccine ( pfizer) this morning at 9.30. im in Uk Nottinghamshire.
l have severe M.E... for now 45 years... and iv held back all these weeks from having the vaccine till l had done my research. l was worried it would make my M.E symptoms worse. l decided a few days ago to go ahead and accept the vaccine as the info coming out is that the delta virus is spreading fast. l made the decision that the side effects from vaccine are still low compared to catching the virus being high. l felt my body would not be able to cope with an overload of the virus that appears to be everywhere now no matter where we live. l feel at peace that lv made my own decision based on my own informed research, and not from family or friends telling what l should do. The injection took less than 10 seconds ( l counted) it was at a walk in hospital unit and we were out in less that 10 min plus the 15 wait after injection. l read a tip to have the injection in the morning and to keep moving the arm on the injection side and it helps stop the acky arm,..so thats what lv been doing and so far, no acky arm or soreness. l will keep my mind occupied for rest of day and forget lv had it if possible unless l get any side effects..l have to go back in 6 weeks for 2nd jab and not 8 weeks as they are now recommending that., , l will post on here to keep up my feedback, if it will help to others.
* as we were waiting in the 15 min recover room a nurse chatted to us and said he had been on the covid wards for the last 18 months and its again now filling up with patients,..he looked very sad and said he asked to work this morning on the injection unit so that he could have a break from the covid wards.
