I'm apprehensive/nervous about my next Covid booster.
(Don't jump on me. I ran to get the original Covid vaccine. Waited on line 2 hours. Have had 3-4 boosters so far.)
I don't want to contract Covid. I'm over 65 and anything can happen without the booster.
However . . . . the last booster gave me quite a side effect last October. For about six months, I suffered a disabling rheumatism in both knees, in the ankles. Pain and weakness. I hobbled. It took me over 5 minutes to maneuver to take the first step of stairs going down in my hallway. I had a valid fear that my leg would collapse between the pain/weakness and taking the weight of my body. I clutched the rail/banister in fear of falling down. Ascending the stairs, I no longer could use alternate legs. I had to use a cane at times.
My Primary Physician confirmed my fears that the antibodies from the booster vaccine attacked my knee and leg joints.
I no longer have the pain and weakness. No problems walking and/or with stairs.
I've opted for Pfizer for all my shots.
I'll get the booster, but I'm expecting to get the same side effects.
