I understand the reasoning behind what you are saying and I, too, wanted very much to get vaccinated although I am pretty much housebound with all the conditions I suffer from but it was with a heavy heart I have had to decline the second as I'm now more disabled than I have ever been and I do not want to spend the rest of my life in bed. Extreme nerve pain all over day after day is hard to live with and now it's been cranked up several notches for me it's pretty unbearable. As it stands the second vaccine will be effective for around six months and as I'm in the house 99% if the time it will greatly limit my chances of getting Covid as I don't socialise and rarely see family etc. For most people their lives aren't like mine and they can make the decision to go ahead with the first and second vaccines, unfortunately I cannot. I would most likely not survive Covid anyway as I have too many health problems. Then there will be on going vaccinations maybe once or twice a year.

I do advocate having the vaccine of you are able to tolerate it, but if you have had a bad reaction to it then you have to make a decision. I knew it was a big risk for me as I react to a lot of foods and medications.

Today I am bed bound, in great pain and only able to take some liquid. I've no doubt I've got symptoms of Gastroparesis as I had mild symptoms before. Sadly my sister is desperate to come and visit us but I'm too unwell to see her.

You have been through a lot with your health, too, and you took the chance on the vaccine and luckily you are ok. I hope many more people are in that situation. I have many online friends who are either okay after the vaccinations or are feeling poorly. I seem to be the only one who has had such a bad reaction. As the doctors say I am a complicated case!
