Not sure it's really "positive" (it seems the cognitive dysfunction and loss of fitness are likely permanent), but at least I know now (until now, it's just been suspicion on my part). But better than a positive LFT, I guess.

Sorry Andy. I meant more that it was a positive experience.

Please don't feel you have anything to apologise for LMH. Yes, it was a very positive experience - as was the infusion of mcab I went in for a few weeks back. It's amazing how much easier it is to get bad news when you feel like the person giving it is actually listening to you. Feel a bit "off" this morning - temp's ok, but I feel like I'm sitting in a very hot room (I'm not)! I'm sure cycling to parkplod will sort that out

So after feeling "a bit off" on Saturday morning, things went a bit ... sideways. Cycled about 2.5 miles to parkrun, tail walked (1:04:01, so a new PW), so far so good. Cycled back. About half way, suddenly had absolutely no energy at all. Nothing. Struggled to even pedal. Eventually made it home (If I hadn't been on the ebike, I don't think I would have made it) Check out my O2Sat ... 89%. Spent most of the weekend lying on the sofa, too weak to move. It's crept up to 92% now, so that's something I guess. I'm a bit concerned about this whole episode. As a layperson, it strikes me as a very odd reaction to a vaccine (especially one that I've had 3 times previously with nothing like as dramatic side-effect). Since I've been having bouts of lower SPO2 since my first infection in March '20, I'm inclined to think it's a recurrence of that, which just happened to coincide with the vaccination. |

Scary indeed - glad to hear that you're feeling better now Andy. It does sound like an unusual and possibly unlikely side effect but then there isn't a lot of research about how the vaccines may affect people with long Covid. Any other issues or just the low SpO2 and fatigue? It's probably worth Yellow Carding it.

Just a bit of soreness in my arm. Slightly elevated temp on Saturday evening/Sunday morning. I've carded it as you suggested (and I'd forgotten what a total pain that system is to use )
