The effects I experienced from the Moderna booster last year were of shorter duration (a mere 36 hours) than covid itself but a damn’ sight more unpleasant. Sympathies to TFM. ---

Well, no sooner had I typed my post than my phone went Ping and I was offered an appointment for a booster, so I have booked one for Thursday 29 September at 1:05pm. No idea which I will get, and they don’t tell you. ---

Probably the Moderna, if the bbc piece is accurate > **[Covid booster: Who can get another jab this spring?](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55045639)** > > Those most at risk from coronavirus will be offered another vaccination this spring. Does anyone with language as a first language edit this stuff? “How long after covid can I have a jab?”. It’s “how SOON”, you blithering numpties. ---

I would be more keen on the Pfizer Bivalent, if available. Carinthia. xx ---

I think we don’t get a choice about which jab we get, so I’ll settle for what they have on site on that day. The main thing is that it is before both the convention on 11th-14th November and a possible trip to Norway on 16th-21st. ---

I was offered Moderna for jab 4, but, after discussion with the Doctor, I had Pfizer, which he said that they had been asked to save for teenagers. Carinthia. xx ---

> [@Fanta](#): > > Believe me, the chances are that it is lot less not-nice than the disease itself… Truly. For one thing it won’t go on for a fortnight and is unlikely to leave you with long-term effects. (This is said slightly bitterly.) I know this and am not _quite_ daft enough to regret having had it. What I would like to know though is why TFD, who had the same 24 hours earlier, has breezed through it almost without having noticed. ---

🍺 for TFD, who apparently reacts to these things the same way I do (i.e. not at all). ---

You’ll have to get TFD another 🍺, I swiped that one on the grounds that I’m the one what is suffering. ps I intended to say (and would have said if my brain had been working) > [@Fanta](#): > > unlikely to leave you with long-term effects.

Hard to tell. I seem to have lost a lot of vocabulary, but that is impossible to quantify. It’s similar to what is generally expected after a stroke, but in my case didn’t happen after the stroke. ---

Oh how unpleasant! Sympathies. If it’s any consolation, no-one would know from your posts here and elseboard, I’d say your vocabulary still seems pretty impressive to the rest of us. ---

Finding the right word takes a lot longer at the moment, is the real symptom: I sit for minutes thinking “There’s a perfectly good word that I want here but I can’t think what it is.” And synonyms are my friend; quite often after I have put one of them into a post, the right word then comes to me. I am more than usually grateful for the edit facility. ---

It is a bit. But definitely not as bad as having lost a limb and not being able to do things as a result; just a bore and a nuisance rather than a crippling disability. My worry is lest it get worse. ---

Brain fog, breathing difficulties & waves of complete exhaustion are amongst the most common things reported, along with loss of/changes in taste or smell. I’m sure that there are more exotic things too Sigh Carinthia. xx ---
