Tav H Mar 2021 4:03pm, 29 Mar 2021 3,809 posts	0 Tav H I've had symptoms for a few days. Yesterday I jogged up a small incline with my dog while out on a walk and was out of puff, but I think I'll be improving in a day or so.
Seratonin Mar 2021 8:34pm, 29 Mar 2021 33,384 posts	0 Seratonin Thanks for asking HappyG. I did a 5 mile run yesterday and it was okay-ish. I managed to get around without having to deploy run/walkand my splits were decent. The strange thing is that it just feels like such hard work. As I mentioned in my initial post, I have never struggled with "hard to breathe" and "taut muscles" before. It may be something completely unrelated to the vaccine jab or just pure co-incidence but the jab is the only definable change in my routine.
Surrey Phil Mar 2021 1:04pm, 30 Mar 2021 6,047 posts	0 Surrey Phil I was fine until 9.30 pm last night (jab was at 9.55 am). Then became hot and shivery with a thumping headache. Hardly slept last night so unable to work today. Arm isn't painful at all. Probably looking at Saturday for a first post-jab run assuming that current symptoms are only 1-2 days at the most.
Welshpoppy Mar 2021 1:06pm, 30 Mar 2021 800 posts	0 Welshpoppy Seratonin, are you struggling with hayfever as pollen is high at the moment tree pollen as Birch is earlier than normal?
mr d Mar 2021 1:12pm, 30 Mar 2021 4,681 posts	0 mr d Had it at 12:45 PM yesterday and woke up at 3 AM shivering. Then I was hot and very sore all over. Stayed in bed and slept through to now. Feeling a bit better, but still wiped out. Can't see I'll run till Thursday at the earliest.
geordiegirl Mar 2021 1:15pm, 30 Mar 2021 14,170 posts	0 geordiegirl Just found this thread. I had my jab on Sunday 21st felt ok Monday couldn’t get up I was floored, banging headache, shivery, ached all over, random things hurt (my left calf!). Tried a walk at lunchtime I was slower than a snail & needed a nap when I got back. I was out of breath walking upstairs. Tuesday felt better the aches had gone I managed a walk. But I had a sore throat and runny nose. Wednesday & Thursday felt much better went for a run but it felt harder for the effort. I do feel more tired than normal but I guess it could be an accumulation of things. Either way happy to have had the jab and it has to be better than having covid.
