It may be a coincidence but I have been really ill since my second jab. A really bad throat and ear infection started a couple of days later. On Monday I was seen by the paramedics, who thought I had had a stroke and I got as far as the helicopter to be flown to the mainland before the critical care paramedic decided it was not a stroke but Bell's Palsy. I now have partial facial paralysis which makes drinking a bit difficult and my smile is lopsided - not that I smile much according to my wife ! Again, might be a coincidence but this is usually triggered by the cold sore virus - all seems a bit strange. Recovery time is 3 weeks/3 months/9 months/never - joy ! Any of you guys had it for a bit of moral support or advice ? What I need is a bit of good STFC news Well, you are in good company. Former World's Strongest Man and Game of Thrones star Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (The Mountain) has also suffered with it.

The nearest place it told me was Newbury, but someone mentioned that if you go back and check again at different times you get other choices. Occasionally I had the Kassam and Ashton Gate pop up, then finally managed to get booked in at Steam for next week.

Sorry to hear Sillcyred, hope things get better. Had the Pzifer this week, felt fine for the first 24 hours, then bang, all my energy was zapped for a day and a half.

Both the wife and I have managed to bring forward our second jabs. Mine has also moved to 5 miles closer so a double result!

My sore throat and ear infection a couple of months after first jab. Couldn't shake it off so saw GP who was undecided between Stroke and Bells. He refered me and i was seen at the Stroke clinic for an MRI scan and ECG etc. Mild Bells was the conclusion nothing to do but wait for nerve endings to fix themselves. 3 weeks on, improving slightly but still have ear issue. In the meantime have had second jab with no issue.

Get well soon, Scilly.
My Nan had the paramedics out after her second jab. They didn't take her in but spent a few hours with her. She's OK now.

Look at this way, it could be that Covid itself would have provided far worse symptoms if the vaccine created such a reaction. You may just have saved your own life.

Well at least they won’t have to throw them like darts now you’re a bit closer.

HI Scillyred
Not sure if it helps but i had very similar symptoms all but less severe and different time scales.
My sore throat and ear infection a couple of months after first jab. Couldn't shake it off so saw GP who was undecided between Stroke and Bells. He refered me and i was seen at the Stroke clinic for an MRI scan and ECG etc.
Mild Bells was the conclusion nothing to do but wait for nerve endings to fix themselves.

Thanks Throat and ear much better but I have now developed a continual dry cough which is driving me mad ! Still no sense of taste. Hope it doesn't go on too much longer

Lots of squawking going on on Twitter from scientists about how the Indian variant being the dominant strain and reduced vaccine efficacy means were in for a real shit time of it again

Still no rise in hospitisations or deaths though... I'm sure SAGE will keep up their bizarre record of doom and the media will continue to go from one extreme to the other and back again. Fear sells.

bit early for the hospital deaths to show yet?
but encouraging. Though that article says efficiecy is only 33% after 1 jab, so you kind of need both.

Yep, saw on Sky news earlier that only 31 people with Indian variant have required an overnight hospital stay. The fear around this variant is pretty odd so far
