It must be rather horrendous for the young ones. You wish Them a 'life'   Late 50s... doesn't matter so much... maybe.   I tend to forget how 'important' 'social contact' will be for  those in late teens / 20s. BUT... They will get over it... they have to... they will!

OOF! Maybe nothing to to with 'jab'... general 'tiredness', but, having 'prepped' for 'later', went for 5 mins lie down, Actually 5 hours!  

Next day, more of same! Slept most of BHol Mon. A real effort to do what was needed. Good thing I am not in 'employment'... wouldn't have been much use.
Don't know whether this is from 2nd Astra Zeneca jab, or just myself being very 'run down'. Still, jabs done for the mo.

I'm told it is a possible side effect. But chatting to the jabbies on my last marshalling stint they were saying the Nurse reckoned the side effects should be much less on 2nd jab. If you stay tired get tio a doc's .

It's going to be a hot one at the jabbing centre today!

Not in till tomorrow afternoon, also Friday afternoon. Supposed to be some localised thunderstorms about.

It's going to be a hot one at the jabbing centre today!

After two days of unbroken sunshine, my exposed bits - face, forearms, legs from knees down - are now the traditional pink-ish colour of a Brit seeing the Sun for the first time in six months.

Forgot to mention that I had my 2nd jab (AZ) a couple of Fridays back  

Probable reason I forgot is that I had no side-effects at all - not even a bruise on my arm - in fact (like my 1st jab) I was lucky enough to feel thoroughly 'chipper' for the rest of the day.

All very unexpected, baring in mind that the doc now thinks my Post Viral Fatigue (now known as Long Covid) might actually have started off with a Covid-like variant (maybe SARS) all those many years ago. So I might actually be a positive beneficiary of the jabs in another way. When lockdown started in UK I was very concerned that I'd be especially vulnerable to the virus, but it might be that I was actually already full of antibodies anyway (shame there wasn't an accurate anti-body test available easily - I did do one but it was inconclusive).

Since having the vaccinations I have actually noticed an improvement in my condition. But that might actually have been the positive side-effect of Lockdown rather than the jabs - a lot less travel for work & a more orderly sleep pattern, more time in open-air at allotment, with regular exercise; eating better (more home grown allotment produce & less 'junk' sandwiches at work) and better air quality in the centre of Bristol. I'm still maintaining my rigorous no caffeine & no alcohol regime that has done me so much good over the last 4 years or so.
But I need to loose my lockdown podge now  

Bristol appears to be getting back to the 'old' normal - there was a large 'rave' in a local park not far from us on Saturday night/Sunday morning - with the resulting trail of discarded fast food wrappers and beer bottles in all our front gardens on the way from the park up to the local student halls of residence.
It might have been very tempting to wait until about 10.30 on the Sunday morning, when they were all in bed, and phone in a bomb hoax to get them out in the fresh air to help clear their hang-overs!!!  

I have faith that 40+ years accumulated deposits of Tar and Nicotine in throat and lungs ... with neat whiskey mouthwashes, will see off the bug!
If not, I expect to be buried... residual alcohol levels in my cadaver would  be equivalent to a 500lb UXB if cremated!  
Never thought that I would still be here! lol.

Vac Injections... may be different! I Don't Do That Stuff! So think I may have been clobbered

Just took my Biobank test - negative for antibodies

Second jab Sunday morning. Have now heard of mulitple people who've been basically floored by the 2nd jab for a day or two, so not looking forward to this.

Myself and Mrs Orcs had absolutely no effects from the 2nd jab, so hopefully you will be as lucky as us.

They did say the second jab should have less side effects than the first one 

Yes message I get is less effect of the same type.

QuoteJust took my Biobank test - negative for antibodies Sad

My Biobank test came up negative as well, so you're not alone .

As for my second jab, absolutely no reaction whatsoever. Others have been floored by it so it appears to be luck of the draw, or maybe given the above it doesn't work on me...

Just practicing for this afternoon, hope it's a bit better than Wednseday, one nurse at Arrowe A&E for 1/2 session with needle stick injurey. both lap topos not connectcting to register injections and I forgot to wear gloves so develpoed a rash on right hand from using wet wipes. Good natured crowd though. So-

are you here for the jab
Have you had any sympoms
Have you got a mask.
