Vaccine side effects - hives after almost a week
Comments (34)Just saw this article today about another immune response to the vaccine, which causes blisters, very dangerous if not treated. We know so little about the immune system, and doctors often know little about immune responses to various things. I went to see a whole host of specialists for my rash but finally figured it out by myself. One thing for sure, these symptoms should not be ignored by doctors just because they're not sure what is causing them. They should be investigated. Do read this story, linked here. Thankfully the doctor of the woman featured did some research and outreach to try and find treatment for her, better than what would have happened if s/he had just said, "Oh it will go away" . . . or kept at the standard protocols and didn't realize that there were new developments. Having had some "atypical" responses to other medications, and my one serious but not life threatening reaction to the measles vaccine, I would say that one should err on the side of caution and monitor the situation closely with the help of a GOOD doctor. It's difficult sometimes to decide how seriously to take these minor annoyances because most of the time they just resolve on their own, except when they don't . . . I'm always paranoid I will ignore some skin cancer sign . . .but on the flip side I don't have the time or money to be running to the doctor for every little thing . . . https://www.yahoo.com/news/few-covid-vaccine-recipients-developed-133911410.html Edited to add that hubs had a recurring rash that he said he picked up "in the pool at college" which recurs whenever he spends time in a public pool. It looks like the "whole body" pictures of the Pityriasis. It comes and goes at other times too. Like I said, association is not causation, because I got my first Pityriasis outbreak in college and had never spent time in the pool there, although I did go to the hot steam sauna a couple of times which necessitated going into the locker room. But still, that's just the age I was, of the typical outbreak. It came and went with me having no idea why. I did not realize that it could occur later in life. I have not had a flare up again of it. I don't have a problem with our town's public pool or locker room so far, although I never frequented it a lot. Edited AGAIN to add that delving into the fine print of the whole article Nosoccermom posted, Pityriasis rosacea is also indicated as a possible side effect of taking omoprazole/Prilosec, which hubs has started taking for acid reflux. https://www.drugs.com/omeprazole.html Ah the mysteries of the immune system . . ....See MoreExpiration dates on covid vaccines?
Comments (0)Tonight I was trying to remember the exact date DH and I got our moderna booster. I remembered we had taken pictures of our vax cards. I brought up the picture and realized something that has me a bit worried. The lot number for both our second moderna shot and our booster shot are exactly the same. We got our second moderna shot in arpil. The expiration date on the sticker for the 2nd shot that they placed on our card states the vaccine expiration date as Oct 6th 2021. The booster sticker has no expiration date but since it is the same lot number did we end up getting an expired booster?...See MoreShingles Vaccine thread: 2022!
Comments (17)Well, the efficacy for preventing shingles is over 90% and over 85% four years out, so it isn't bulletproof protection, but it is so far above the 10% or so of the prior vaccine. That one was used primarily to reduce severity at about 50-60% IIRC. DH got shingles after the old vaccine. I wonder if there could come a day when they look at a booster if it trails off even more over time -- but they don't give it as a matter of course until you are 50, so it doesn't have to last 70 or 80 years like the childhood ones do. WIll be interesting to see....See MoreMonkey pox — are smallpox vaccinations from decades ago protective?
