I took 4 different injections of Evusheld (first series, and then the decision was made it needed to be doubled, so went back for another two injections.). Ironically, the side effects (for me) were similar to the Moderna vaccines…but a little bit worse. Fatigue, muscle aches, some chills….I rested, slept, and felt generally “ick” for about 3 days total…first and second day more so than the last day. After that, I felt 100% normal. I am very happy I took Evusheld and continue to hope I can get the 60 months injections sometime in Sept.
Actually one of the others here gave me some side effects. But the Doctor did say that’s why they suggested taking it six weeks before my event just incase. But the two side effects I was concerned about about for myself was fatigue and nausea. My fatigue / brain fog from my sjogrens is awful at many parts of my day and also mentioned nausea which I suffer with already and eating difficulties and have an ileostomy so that would be very difficult. The more I have read lately on the drug the less the side effects are mentioned . So I’m wondering if I should of been braver and took it. I needed to take it 6 weeks before my event I was concerned about. Now that’s here so I will just go masking and try to be cautious. I’m not sure what was right to do. I trusted my Doctor and appreciated him offering it. But just wasn’t sure. I think the discussion is still on this forum somewhere. I’m wondering know after reading more if I should of but I have had many side effects to medication.
