On Monday of this week I had my first round of travel vaccinations for when I go to South Africa next month. I got Hep A & B and tetanus.
I felt fine all the way until Thursday, when I was just in tescos and I started to feel dizzy, sick and faint. I knew it was probably just my body starting to fight and create antibodies so I went home, rested and slept a lot.
It's now the third day of feeling ill and I can't stand it. I feel like I have a constant rush of blood to my head whenever I stand up for too long, I go through phases of feeling like I'm going to throw up but never do... I can't DO anything apart from lie in bed, and it's really getting me down.
I want to know how long this is going to go on for as it's getting me really frustrated. I feel great when I'm laid down, which means I get annoyed cos I want to get up and do stuff but as soon as I do I start to feel sick and out of breath.
Has anyone who's had these vaccinations ever felt like this? And if so, how long did it take to go away? I'm going back for some boosters on tuesday and I'm going to mention it to the nurse but I just want this feeling to go away!
