MMR Jab

[sarey]

Okay so apparently I missed my MMR booster & something else, so they gave me it.

 

I had them both done, waited for a while as a precaution in case I was allergic, I felt a bit woozy and dizzy, but otherwise, fine, went home, my symptoms got worse, I felt very woozy, tingly/pains, shaking, i had diarrhea, felt very sick, heart was acting strange, so i called nhs, they said it could be allergic reaction or it could be a bug going around since theres an epidemic of it, she said to get some allergy meds, so I took some benedryl, been asleep all afternoon, feel better but still feel sick/shaky/very weird.

 

Has anyone else had this type of reaction before?

Is it normal?

What can you do to make it better?

 

It's Christmas in like, 3 days. I don't want to be like this.

This vaccine can make you feel a bit ill for a few days. It should probably get better by Christmas. If it gets a LOT worse (trouble breathing, breaking out in a rash or hives, etc) then you should seek medical attention immediately.

Okay, thank you avman. I'm going to go to sleep now, feeling tired and such, I read it takes 10 days to have a reaction from it. *eek*

 

If anyone has had similar experiences, pleasseee post. I needs reassurance. *looks around uncomfortably*

[avman]

I got the shot when I was around your age. I had it when I was very young but they found that those vaccines weren't as effective so they made me get it again.

 

After I got it I walked back to the waiting room and passed out before i made it there. I felt light headed and dizzy for a day or two and then I was fine.

I just went through this and didn't have any kind of shot. It is a bug that is going around. My bf and I both got it. It lasts almost a week.

[sarey]

It just seems odd that it happened right after the shot.

 

Avman, I didn't pass out but I was very close.

 

At the moment, my arms are aching(no wonder), I have a bad stomach ache, my jaw is hurting but to be honest I think I've done something to it because it clicked yesterday and it hurts since then lol, I've not ate much so that won't help the dizziness I guess. I'll have something light but I feel quite sick.

[sarey]

I'm gonna go to my GP later today, I'm still feeling very sick, I had a violent attack of sharp pains in my upper stomach/where the ribs are(very short however, but scary), feeling tingly&very off.

 

I'm gonna go to sleep now

[avman]

I doubt the pains in your stomach are due to the shot. That's probably something else.

[sarey]

well i wasnt feeling like this before the shot

my chest hurts

my head hurts

i feel faint

i feel sick

[avman]

Then you should call the doctor sarey. Anytime there is a concern for your health and it can't be explained you should check in with the doc.

ive taken some ibuprofen

im going to the docs in about 20 minutes with my sister

the ibuprofen has helped a bit

[sarey]

mmk i went to the chemist

he said because my immune system is probably weakened atm due to the jab, i probably have caught a cold / flu, since there is an epidemic of it right now, so it was even easier to catch, said to rest, take paracetamol/ibuprofen & drink plenty.

[sarey]

i went doctors

he gave me some

omeprazole 20mg tablets

he said the chest pains and such could actually be caused by acid reflux / heartburn

 

 

anyway

will see how this goes

it may be the flu im coming down with ontop of that
