But I have not been able to get hold of any LFT packs.
If you can't get any, I may be able to spare some.

Well, I had my covid & flu jabs yesterday lunchtime. The nurse said it would be better to have the flu jab in my right arm as i'm right handed as the covid jab sometimes causes stiffness/pain in the arm where it's administered.

After the jabs I felt really tired and had the best sleep that I've had in a very long time (even with sleeping tablets).

I woke up at about 11pm, whilst feeling sleepy and weak, I had no other after effects.

Today, however, my arm is stiff and painful in the top half and my hand. The pain is bearable because i'm on painkillers for other things anyway, which is a good job as I am up to my limit.

I would urge anyone who has yet to have their booster to have it in their less dominant hand and take painkillers if necessary. Booking the following day off work is also advisable due to the fatigue.

Thanks to those who reassured me that it would turn out ok, this was very much appreciated.
