COVID 19 jab

@Halla my GP faxed the scripts to my chemist this afternoon and I finally took it again, feeling a bit better now. I could hardly walk, I felt so unbalanced. And also nauseous. I had no idea a missed dose could have that much effect!! 😳😳. I’ll write you a private message tomorrow briefly explaining everything about him, but you can check some of my other posts if you have time and patience, I’ve discussed it here many times!! 😆. He really impacted me in a negative way

Oh dear! I hope you feel better and sleep well 😴, and yes please feel free to PM me!

@Halla a lot of things. I’ll have to pm you tomorrow if you want, cos too much to write now. I missed two doses of anti-anxiety meds (which I started taking thanks to him) and been feeling really woozy and heavy headed for past two days. Only just got better, but don’t have a lot of focus 😕

@FLClover what was wrong with your first surgeon?

I've always been provax but I must admit to hesitancy with this one.  I don't feel particularly at risk at the moment (but we know that may change at any time).  I've had enough health issues to last me a lifetime and supposedly at over 50 with a weaker immune system I am vulnerable but I'm being expected to have a vaccine with lower efficacy that has been questioned by health experts in other countries.  Not particularly convinced but will discuss it with my oncologist next week, and more than likely join @arpie on the fence for awhile.

If you are in 1b category but under 50 can you get pfizer?

Trust your instinct @arpie, you’ll know what is best. I hope you’re healthy no matter what cos hubby does really need you, and I know how distressed you’d be if he had to go into care 😕. 

I am hesitant just now to have the jab - as I just can't afford to get ill.  Hubby can't have it as his immunity is compromised whilst he is on chemo - and if I get ill, he would have to go into care as he just can't fend for himself at all - altho he is fine with showering, dressing & general day to day stuff - but not really able to do food, eating & taking of medications (including oral chemo) which is essential as he is diabetic as well.

So I am sitting on the fence for a while ...... plus it hasn't been offered to me by our GP Practice yet, even tho I am nearly 70 & over 50s are supposed to be getting it in NSW!

@BlackWidow it’s true we’ve had to blindly trust our medicos, especially at the beginning when we knew nothing on the subject. In my case specifically, however, I started getting massive anxiety about my surgeon, and my gut was going wild telling me that something was wrong. I didn’t know what, but something. So I researched, gained info and possible reasons as to why, and switched surgeons. Second surgeon confirmed all my suspicions. The more time goes by, the more info I find out about first surgeon and medial stuff in general, the more I know I was absolutely right not to trust him. One of the best decisions of my life, changing him. I feel the same about this vaccine. Every cell in my body is telling me not to take it. Research into that is also steadily proving why I’m right. I’m a massive sook too, and very wary of stuff done to my body. That’s why I believe this decision is best for me. It’s not selfish, if I thought I was a threat to others I’d stay away. I just don’t believe I am. And I don’t believe all this is necessary. 

You’ll be fine @June1952, you do know how to look after yourself. And as you said, if you feel any side effects you can report them straight away 👌🏻♥️
