Both of my jabs booked at lunchtime today. Urggh...... oh well best get it over with. No word on the shingles jab yet. Poor husband had a 2 day AF episode after his jabs last Saturday. Don't know if it was related, but all the tests at hospital came back clear. Brought him home yesterday morning.
I do not see myself as unfit because I have diabetes.
Vaccines affect everyone but many don't know how because they don't measure themselves as much as we do.
My BG was affected by recent surgery when I had my jab and didn't spot any further impact.
I did notice the dead/bruised arm. My recent surgery was on a broken elbow which had resulting in swelling and bruising. The jab was in the same arm. Overnight, I was confused how the bruising had made its way up into my bicep making it even harder to sleep on that side. In the morning, I remembered it was the jab not the surgery.
