Long. Covid And Flu Jab

[hellywelly4]

I’ve been poorly with long covid for about 6 months and have just started to feel better. On Friday I had a flu jab and it’s wiped me out. In all the years of having a flu jab I’ve never had a bad reaction before. No pain in my arm which is what I usually get, but I’ve slept nearly all day. I do feel a bit better today but I lost Sunday altogether. Strange. I wonder if the two things are connected? Has anyone else had a bad flu jab reaction this year? Just when I thought I was getting on top of the long covid too. Pleased to say that the nausea has nearly gone and I am starting to eat better.

No, I haven't had any reaction helly and I don't think that anyone could give you a definitive answer to your question.
Bottom line is that you are getting back to normal.

you rate as "mild" in the official stats - didnt need to go to Hospital.

wait and see - as far as I can see from the stats, no one is OKish to start and then gets worse ( you know so they have to be admitted)

Not getting the jab and getting seasonal flu has a really bad side effect - and not THAT rare

Had the flu jab. No problems whatsoever. I’ve had two covid jabs, and one booster. I will not be having a secondary booster.

david small; Why no secondary booster?

Had both jabs just over a week ago. No bad reactions since my blood clot on brain in June (touch wood).
