Hi, I've just had my 5th booster shot for COVID-19. I was told that I may get very few side effects. It's been 4 days since I had my booster and I've noticed that both of my feet were puffy the next day. My right foot looks worse and also has pitting when I press it. Also my asthma cough was a lot worse. It's the weekend here, so there are no doctors available. Any information would be appreciated. Has anyone else had ill effects after their booster shot? Thanks. ## Do you know which company manufactured the booster you received? This additional information will help me research it for you to check its side effects. The FDA lists them all as possibly causing administration site redness, headache, fatigue, and chills. Ref: COVID-19 Vaccine General Information Are you on a...

I share this experience in the hope of helping others who are suffering similar problems as a result of either Covid vaccines or the virus itself. Not long after my third Covid shot I started getting pins and needles in my fingers and hands. I blamed poor circulation at first but the problem quickly grew to severe pain in my hands and fingers, and trigger finger. The pain got so bad I consulted my GP who referred me to a specialist, who prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs. This then caused heart palpitations (I have a history of cardiac issues) so I stopped the medication immediately and survived on Panadol and, on bad days, Tramal 150. The problem got so bad that I couldn't open the screw top on a bottle of wine, and even the simple task of cleaning my teeth was painful. A second do...
