Hi, I started this post and thnaks to all for your input. I feel it worth mentioning that I did have Covid in March 2020 (no symptons other than felt extra crap for 10 days or thereabouts and slightly out of breath when talking for a while). My first Pfizer jab left me feeling rough for a day...

Hi all from the UK, Not firectly FM related but you no how it is, when we get referred for various other health issues they (doctros, admin, nurses) haven't got a clue of what or how anything can affect us. I'm being booked in for a 'Myocardial Perfusion Scan'. This is to deterine how much...

I'm only a boy at 65 although did have covid in March 2019. I didn't know I had it although felt extra rough for some 10 days and then breathless for 2/3 weeks whilst talking. When I had a CT angiogram in December, they told me my lungs were in advanced post-covid recovery. So body dealt with it...

Back on topic, an update having just had my 2nd Pfizer jab. had the vaccine at 14:00 was ok until around 21:00 when started to feel flaky. Went to bed and woke up during the night hot and soaked in sweat. I was very ill (temp of 38.8c with the shivers) and whole body pain until Sunday mid...

Well I had Covid last March although didn't find out until December from the CT Angiogram. I just felt very rough for a week and didn't die. Luck of the genes I guess but who knows what a different strain may or may not do?

This is something that rears it's head once in a while. For some reason, I've never considered a link with the fact that in recent years, perfumes make me reel, eyes itch like mad, rhinitis, skin heats up, nasty head/eye ache etc. Have found much info online but this is an easy read. Would be...

Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences. I had my first (and only so far) Pfizer jab on 21st Feb. I've gone downhill ever since. FYI, I'm 65, was diagnosed with ME/CFS in 1994 and would say for the past 23/24 yrs had made a 98% recovery. Within the last few weeks, I'm getting weaker and...

I just thought it would be an interesting study amongst us. I had mine since I started this thread, had the Pfizer, sore arm during the night (couldn't raise it but wasn't about that), felt fluey and spent 24+ hrs in bed. Then all ok the next day. Now suffering with the worst case of fatigue and...

SUnkacola, I live in North Oxfordshire, UK

I did post maybe 2 months ago? I was diagnosed with a blocked artery and was prescribed Rosuvastatin 40mg. My whole body was in spasm for some 5 days and I stopped taking at 12 days. I was the illest I have ever been in my life so had to stop them. Unfortunately, my consultant said alternatives...

sorry to hear you've both had bad experiences. I was offered the Astra Zeneca last week but they've put me on the list to have the Pfizer as I requested due to most people (non FM/ME) having felt bad after the former. Hope you both/all are feeling better as the days go on.

HI Sunkacola, I only meant which country, not address. I'm 65, matters not to me for anyone to know that as they don't know who I am and can't do any harm. I doubt very much if it would have generated more replies, surely anyone would've simply replied as did Sonny above? Thanks for letting...

BUMP!! Surely some of you have had the vaccine?

Hi All, Has anyone with FM, CFS etc had the Covid 19 vaccination yet and if so, other than the obvious local jab site discomfort, experienced bad enough reactions/flu symptoms (shakes, sweats, pain in all joints) to be bed ridden? As we all know, there is little to no representation for people...

Ay statin would have this affect it wold seem. My GP said Pravastatin is less likely but my cardiologist says this is not powerful enough and will not have the desired affect. I have to leave him now as can't afford anymore due to lack of work so back on the NHS. GP is not indifferent and says...
