Gawd but I feel rough.

We and the SO had all our shots, boosters and we still got it.
Never had a booster. Got the rona. It was rough, but since then I've stopped doing everything I used to in regards to masking, washing hands 30 times a day, worrying, etc. Never had a problem since getting it and it's been a year. It's almost like antibodies work.

We travel a lot so we protect when out and about but at home we don't. Oddly we picked up the rona on a trip Québec. Took us a month to get over it.

Had my Covid booster this morning and my immune system is clearly overreacting. Every bone hurts, my sats are in the low 90's, and I'm freezing: my hands are shaking and my teeth are chattering despite it being 21C in here. I do hope this doesn't last too long ...

The wife & I had our flu & Covid jabs last Friday - one in each arm. She retired to bed feeling very under the weather as though she had flu. I had pains in upper arms and neck that others have mentioned - which I don't usually get - plus also felt unusually cold. I definitely think the Pfizer vaccination has more side effects as I had the AstraZeneca one before and had no side effects at all. Of course, it could just be that I getting old... :)

Longer than you otherwise would have. People that live the longest are generally happy. Folks that worry about everything tend not to be happy.

Glad you got through it ok. For me it was a rough two weeks. Either way, antibodies baby!

I have decided that at the age of 78 I am just as likely to die of Covid as anything else. I had my last booster back in May, and am declining all future offers.

But there is no "otherwise", we only live as long as we live. We can possibly keep alive into old age by good diet and keeping active, but equally some of the healthiest people can die quite young.
You're missing the point dude. And there is an "otherwise"... for instance... let's say you thought about jumping off a cliff. And I'm no... don't. It's safe to say you'd live longer than you otherwise would've had you jumped off one. Not sure why you're going to argue with me being nice. Guess you're bored or something. Might wanna look inward dude.

It clearly also has serious effects on mental state as the claim of 21C in Wales in October is clearly the machination of a disturbed mind. You'll be telling us next that it isn't raining ... :)
Nah, that was in the kitchen where Herselfs' oxygen concentrator lives - it squashes air to separate O2 from N2 and that generates a lot of heat. Think small space heater and you won't be too far off. It'll be handy in winter, but it was a PITA in summer ... :-D

I know feeling awful like that sucks, but here's the positive side of it: it indicates you have a robust immune system. I've been dealing with lymphoma for over 7 years now, and the worst aspect of the type I have is that it knocks my white count down, down, down. After not reacting to the 1st 2 shots and 2 boosters, the oncologist ordered a special blood test that revealed no antibodies. She explained that my crappy immune system just didn't react to the vaccines. Given your reaction, it's likely you now have LOTS of antibodies :)

I think you are right, I just wish it wouldn't get quite so enthusiastic :laugh:

Not sure who's the older one between the two of us, but I had the initial Pfizer (BioNTech) shot and all the boosters since and didn't have any side effects, beside a bit of a sore upper arm for a couple of hours, but that was to be expected...
