I am not a scientist, let alone an immunology expert, but my personal experiences after getting the jab may help scientists unravel the blood clotting mystery, or so I hope! I got my first anti Covid-19 jab on an uneventful day about two weeks ago. When I got the jab, I had my face mask on, covering both my nose and mouth. One or two minutes later a sneeze, followed by a sudden flow of mucus started. I was under observation by the vaccinating crew. For a flitting moment the attendant health worker seemed concerned, but after a few more minutes her face relaxed, as I continued to swallow my mucus from under my mask, because I had nowhere else to spit it. After some five or ten minutes we were released, and advised not to drink alcohol for at least 24 hours.
The rest of the day I felt just fine. The following day I felt like I was about to catch a cold or flu. I knew that this was something to do with the vaccine because ever since I started wearing a face mask last year, I have never caught cold or flu. Now, this is important: as a rule, whenever I feel feverish or about to catch cold or flu, I resort to RESTING as a curative measure. So, I instinctively started resting. The feverishness not only persisted, but got worse. I decided to contact a relative to find out how she was feeling, since she had also got the jab on the same day as me. She said she was fine. Being a medical person, she passed me information that proved vital to help me recover from my flu like symptoms. She said that she had decided to engage in physical activity to lessen the risk of blood clots, given the "not so healthy" state of her heart! This was like a bolt from the blue - I needed to do the opposite of what I normally do to overcome exactly the feeling that I was experiencing at the time. I needed to be active! But normally, if I become active when feeling the way I did, the "oncoming" flu or cold would get worse. I decided to give it a try; after all the person giving me the advice did not know how I normally tame my flu; and like I said she is a medical person.
I took an hour long walk during which I exercised every part of my body; swinging my arms and legs wildly as I walked along. To my shock the more I exercised the better I felt. After an hour I returned home. I have never felt the flu like discomfort again. Exercise cured the very feelings that I normally cure by NOT exercising! I do not know what would have happened if I had continued RESTING instead of vigorously exercising. Maybe I would have developed blood clots. Like I said, I am not a scientist. I am sure there are people out there who, like me are not aware that a vaccine jab, though causing the same feelings as the onset of flu, needs to be responded to in exactly the OPPOSITE manner to a flu onset. Just my two pennies worth.
