I have a high pain threshold but I took 8 paracetamol 2 every 3 hours over 24 hours and I was still in a great deal of pain whenever I moved so the only thing to do was sleep. My lower back, my hips, my shoulders, the jab site, my neck, my ankles. Most distressing though was a rare reported side effect of dry mouth and I had to keep drinking water and then had to keep waking and going to the loo just when I got comfy in bed, which meant moving and being in pain again. My body basically wanted to flush it out. This was combined with some dizziness, some nausea, slightly blurred vision, extreme fatigue just doing the slightest task, wobby on my feet, weakness generally in my limbs. Forgot the shivering. There was shivering too.
I only had a raised temperature briefly but the paracetamol would have kept it stable. I've never reacted to a vaccine so this was a surprise. But thankfully it's pretty much gone just don't feel as good as I usually do. I'm unusual though in my reaction but this is just as much a lottery as covid itself in terms of who reacts and who doesn't.
