Experience with AstraZeneca while having M.S
September 8, 2021 at 8:28 pm
(This post was last modified: September 8, 2021 at 8:32 pm by WinterHold.)
I received my first anti-Covid vaccination dose of type "AstraZeneca", in this topic I will write about the symptoms I had and the experience as a whole being an M.S (multiple sclerosis) patient.
So, the vaccine should have symptoms for 48 hours; I had:
1-Fluelike symptoms (first night)
2-Chills (first night)
3-Fatigue (48 hours)
I used some Adol/Panadol (JUST USE 1 OF THEM DONT USE BOTH TOGETHER) to relief the the symptoms.
Right now, a day passed and I'm about to finish the remaining part of the 48 hours.
I think "AstraZeneca" might be kinda tough for M.S patients. My doctor wanted me to take Sinopharm instead.

Your symptoms sound similar to what mine were after my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. The first dose just made my arm really sore. Either way it was much like the effects after flu shots I have had in the past (I get this year's flu shot in the morning). I don't have MS but have had a heart attack and cancer...the side effects were much better to deal with than would be weeks intubated in an ICU. I figured with some health issues already it was worth a couple days of feeling kind of lousy.
Now, the shingles shots...holy moly...that second one knocked me on my butt!
I'm glad to hear you got the vaccine and hope you get any boosters as recommended.

Sounds like what happened to me.
My second shot didn't hit me as hard so take some solace from that. Though every one's body is different.
Be well.

I don't have MS, and I got the Moderna vax but your experience sounds like what I experienced and what others have told me WRT Moderna ans Pfizer vaccines.
Welcome to the other side. I'm glad you got the shot.

I had no particular side effects, other than a sore arm where I was poked, from the vaccines. Not sure what that means.

I got the Pfizer shots and had the knowledge that I had had injection, but that was it. Good on you for getting vaccinated!
As for the shingles shot, like AWTY, that hurt like I'd been hit in the arm with a hammer (which, believe it or not, I have actual experience with). It wasn't pleasant.

I got the Pfizer shot and any side effects were so minimal that they couldn't be distinguished from life as usual.

I’m one of those people who, whenever he gets the flu shot, invariably ends up getting the flu anyway. And yet, somehow, when I got either of my COVID shots (Moderna, BTB), the only side effect was a sense of dread when I realized I was running out of excuses to get back to work. And, surprisingly, I spent most of the year prior with the cough that wouldn’t die.

Well done on getting the shot!

Glad you got vaccinated. Better than contracting covid.
Did your doc say why he preferred Sinopharm?
