I had the 1st Pfizer shot in Jan. I skipped to 2nd shot due to a bad reaction. So I got the J&J shot in June. Before the J&J I watched ‘quack’ videos on the vaccine-induced Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the headaches which signal its onset. I never used to get headaches but started to a few days after the J&J. Now, thanks to the ‘quacks’ I take aspirin every 4 hours, drink lots of water and take 3+ mile walks whenever possible. I suspect I will have to continue this routine for possibly a year or whenever they start calling for a J&J booster.
But you are glad you got the shot?
Bad reaction first time? So why get a 2nd shot from another company?
If I were getting headaches post-vaccination like you are, I would also be very proactive in doing what I could to minimize the risk of clots. I would consider eating some salmon or other high-Omega-3 fish on a relatively frequent basis. I wish you great success in recovering from your post-vaccination symptoms.
I had Moderna twice, and have my own story to tell. The two vaccinations are spaced 28 days apart. Halfway between the two, I got a small cold with a cough. By the time of the second vaccination, my cough was almost completely gone. They tell you in the instructions not to get the vaccine if you’re sick, but I didn’t consider myself to be sick, as the cough was nearly gone. Well, two days after the second vaccination, my cough flared up again very badly, and I had a cough for almost two full months.
