I have Autoimmune conditions including Rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus. I am also taking immunosuppressant medication.   I was turned away for the Pfizer vaccine due to some drug allergies. I then arranged to have the AZ vaccine.   It has been 2.5 weeks since I had my first vaccine.   Initially I suffered with fatigue, fever, headaches and dizziness - this went on for 3-4 days. Kind of felt like an arthritic flare up.   Last week I came down with a bad cold with fatigue, this surprised me as I am shielding and rarely go outside.   I have discussed all these symptoms with my medical team and they have concluded that these symptoms are most likely as a result of the vaccine.   I have no regrets with having the vaccine and I will be more prepared in case I have a reaction when I have my second vaccine in April.   I also know of people with no underlying health conditions that have had some side effects to the vaccine.
