    Are you sure? Modern phones use gyroscopes to auto-orient the screen to landscape. You may not have even noticed.

    You're right. I may have been horizontally sleepwalking.

    PS I had a much sorer arm for the rejab than for the original, but otherwise all ok.

    I had my Pfizer booster yesterday afternoon. Previously 2 x AZ with no probs at all.

    Last night no probs apart from slight needle prick ache.

    Slept well last night but this morning woke up terrible. Weird headache felt like pressure. Body aches in shoulder hands knees and lower back. Also couldn’t think straight.

    Took 2 Panadol and feel better now.

    I ended up with a "finger lime" size/shape lump, in my armpit lymph nodes, for around 5 days -which was quite painful for the first 3 - then dissipated.

    Glad to know my immune system is up and functioning

    Two grandchildren have now had their first Pfizer jab.

    Miss 7 had absolutely no after effects.

    Miss 11 had a sore arm for two days.

    2 x Panadol is now wearing off. Headache I returning. Apart from that the only other symptom is some pain in the right shoulder.

    Pharmacist said give it 72 hours. I need drugs man.

    This now reminds me of a 24 hour virus.

    I had similar results but a couple of panadol cured it. I did have to take more than one does though.

    Getting better now. Slept most of the day, hardly ate and took 4 panadols. Pfizer booster was a shocker for me. Now I got to look out for lumps.

    Beware the swollen nether regions ... according to somebody's friends cousins nephew :rolleyes:

    Don't forget to eat, even if just cereal or toast. Pain killers on an empty stomach are not good

    I had a very sore arm from the booster, mostly on the first day, but no other symptoms.

    Pfizer booster a week ago. No side effects at all. Original AZs left me a bit jaded the next day.

    I think I should have had the booster at 6 months after last shot instead of 4 months. Probably less side effects. I think I got ripped off. BTW the headache still lingers on and off.

    I know they are saying 4 months now but this is why I am not rushing out to get my booster. I had Pfizer first time round and felt same as you back then. A friend who runs a medical clinic, also had Pfizer first time round, had her booster two weeks ago, she ended up with significant inflammation issues right through muscles and organs. Had ECG and bloods, was prescribed anti inflammatory’s. She said she will take her chance with Covid next time… no more boosters. I will give it a few more weeks until I get mine. And I am looking at Moderna.

    Just been approved for 4th Vax, on the basis that first 3 are kinda baseline and 4th will be booster.

    Can't think straight either @datto but can't blame Mrs pfizer apparently.

    What will life be like after 4?

    The govt is pushing early booster for its own agenda I reckon.

    Yeah that inflammation is pretty bad. Around the heart I believe. After what I’m going through I'd hold off the booster for the max time possible.

    Booster yesterday (3rd Pfizer). Very mild heavy arm last night. Today nothing to report.

    PS: If you are vaccinating children - know your child. If he/she is scared - it may be better to attend a venue where waiting time is minimal. At the public venue I attended there were a couple of kiddies distraught, for several minutes.

    The anxiety builds, ending in crying, tears and screams. Upsetting to other kiddies (and adults) who are trying to remain calm.

    Just had my booster. Being sort of hypochondriac, I feel EVERY possible symptom :D

    Will report tomorrow though more accurate data
