Mid this year got my Sinopharm injections against COVID19 DONE! One in May and the booster shot in June; and I thought I was done with it, at least for this year. But then, with the new omicron variant as well as other variants and the original coronavirus still going on; yesterday went and got my latest jab. But since the country has run out of all the other vaccines, the only vaccine currently avaible here is the Pfizer vaccine. Thus my new booster I got on Monday afternoon, was the Pfizer.
Post vaccine you are asked to wait for 20 minutes, but the heat under the afternoon Sri Lankan sun is unbearable. A slight breeze came, but lasted only seconds, so after about 10 minutes I left. Nobody there to check if the vaccinated are alright and none of the vaccinated bother to stay on. The side effects of the afternoon sun could be far worse than the Pfizer vaccine itself. Yet the side effects of the Pfizer are much stronger than the Sinopharm (Sinopharm is an inactivated vaccine, unlike Pfizer, an mRNA vaccine am not familiar with, it’s a new technology; which was my only issue of getting a 3rd dose by Pfizer). My left arm feels rock solid, wonder if my blood’s clotting excessively (have had polycythemia and just manage to get my red bloods cells count back to normal), a never ending massive throbbing headache, which I have to deal with 24/7 as it is, has worsened; added to which last night I felt so dizzy outside after dinner, I quickly squatted down touched ground with my hands, so as to balance myself with my fingers spread out and toes. But, rather than just the effects of the vaccine, it could be due to the constant stress I go through residing in an inhumanly stupid society that won’t let me rest even when sick, just adding to the side effects of the new booster. But I guess my immune system is battling away the unknown vaccine in my body. It’s a war in there. This year has truly been dreadful, both physically and emotionally. So tired.
None the less, as heavy headed and down as I feel, I am glad I managed to get my 3rd dose as well, just before Christmas. It’s half an hour to midnight! So Good Night…

Merry X-mas 2021!!

Hi, Nuwan! You are always so nice to like and/or comment whenever I post something new, I thought it was high time that I pop over to visit your corner of the blogging world (and give you a follow while I’m at it). 🙂
I hope 2022 is going better for you. I got the Pfizer vaccine as well (all three times). Of the options available here in the US, I think it’s the best / proven to be most effective, however, I had some significant side effects, too – all three times. (And this last time was the worst.) Mine were mostly different from yours, but I’d consider them significant, too, and they did include a headache. I get migraines and have wondered if the vaccine (and booster) triggered one each time, but maybe the shot causes one all by itself? Still, I got each dose because it feels like some measure of protection against the unknown, even though the side effects are no fun (and possibly disconcerting). Like you said, “it’s a war in there”. 😉
Thank you Jillian! It’s nice of you to visit! As you see, I’ve hardly done much blogging within the last few years! But I hope to work on my blog whenever I can!
I agree with your comments on the vaccinations! It’s better to be safe than sorry! Side Effects last only a short period of time, so am glad I’ve been triple vaccinated! Yet am skeptical about any future vaccinations we might have to be test subjects to, Ha! That’s if this goes on!! Hopefully a good solution will come our way soon to battle this invisible villain of this unexpected silent war, that’s affected the entire globe!!
P.S. Speaking of the war inside my body, I think that’s still going on, but nothing to do with the vaccines anymore!! Ha!
🙂 ❤ 🙏🏽
