Hi all on carenity, hope you are all doing okay, I just want to know has anyone else had almost a permanent cold or flu since having their Covid jabs, I seem to be getting a cold all the time, and it's affecting me and my already health issues, I start a new exercise routine, and healthy eating, and I get a cold and it all goes out the window, can't eat, can't walk as I'm hurting so much, I would like to know if anyone else has had any symptoms from their Covid jabs?

@whitecross1955 ... Having the vaccines and the booster have not made my health conditions worse.

My main health problem is my epilepsy. I will always have this problem as there is no cure, but changing of medications and side effects of medication can make the seizures better or worse. Not the vaccines.

@lesmal I would not doubt your findings , regarding your health issues and what affects you.Just wondering from chatting to friends who have received 2 or 3 jabs what if any side affects they have noticed. My own daughter got 2 jabs and had to get medical intervention ,so refused the 3th jab. Some of my friends had ongoing issues that seemed to drag on. One A.& E doctor .insisting that she must have took different medication ,but she was on not any .she told him she only got the vaccines ,and he went all silent

@Tigger.co.uk ... I agree with your points and am also glad I had both vaccines and the booster. My husband might receive the 4th but I am not in the age group to receive just yet. Hopefully, they will extend the 4th vaccine to everyone in due course.

Having the vaccines has certainly not affected my other health problems.

No doubt big pharma compaines will be rubbing their hands with glee ,as they magically produce a vaccine for monkey-pox. and maybe people will have to get "boosters " as well. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said in an update yesterday that although the number of cases has risen five-fold since a week ago, the risk of contagion remains "very low".

Symptoms are similar to smallpox but much less severe, and most people recover within three or four weeks.
