Yo lads, I had my first jab a week ago. Since having it I've had a headache. I never suffer with headaches, or very rarely, maybe 2 or 3 a year. Anyone else having the same? Apologies if it's been mentioned previously in this thread.

When i had Covid in Nov, the headaches were the worse i have every experienced, never stopped for 6 days, i mean massive headaches, day and night, i was still getting them 3 weeks on ( not constant though ) it appears its a side effect of the vaccine aswellQuote:

Don't want to alarm you, but whereas the word is that you shouldn't worry if you have some side effects from the vaccine that last a few days and then go, a bad headache that lasts for about a week is something the medics say that you should think about contacting your GP about.Quote:

I tend to have headaches quite often and that sounds similar to the sort I have - they got a bit worse for a while after I had the vaccine, but I never thought about seeing anyone about it, it doesn't sound like yours are anything to be concerned about either.Quote:

I disagree with you on this. take a hotel in Wales, Drakeford gives 36 hours notice that it can open. It needs to get staff together, possibly off furlough, get stock of food in, heat and clean the building, taking bookings etcQuote:

There is no reason on earth why he should leave these important decisions for Welsh business until the last minute. You and I look at the daily Covid data and we can see the trends as well as Drakeford. He has a total disregard for business.
A decision on hospitality is being made on 22/4. For pubs it may take weeks to get ready. Not just the staff , breweries need to prepare the supplies.
Johnson is just completely useless but Drakeford seems over cautious and stubborn in these last minute decisions.
Me neither but for the last two weeks I’ve had heavy ones periodically....no other symptoms bar sneezing a bit. Well weird. Just found out that headaches can be a symptom of covid....:sherlock:Quote:

Stop the M4 relief road in favour of a few extra train stops along the way where you can hop on a bus to your destination. When Johnson says Wales needs this and he will impose it as part of a UK wide strategy, Drakeford tells him to 'mind his own business and keep out of Welsh affairs'. Remember that when your queuing from the Magor services all the way to Cardiff & beyond..Quote:

You only have to wait 45 minutes for a result too and they send it via text
why can't we have these type of tests done in Wales yet you can in England ? . It's put my mind at rest as I had a bad headache last week too
Headaches could just be lockdown fatigue I guess, this winter has been a long tough one for many people.Quote:

so man made or a wet market bat eating person responsible ?
Very interested to read your post. I very rarely get headaches but back in January I had a headache that lasted for about 2 weeks and I was beginning to get worried. I had a telephone consultation with the GP and he arranged for blood tests. These were all clear so he arranged a CT scan. Again all clear. I asked the question could it be COVID? Because I didn't have the high temperature, cough or loss of taste/smell symptoms apparently I did not qualify for a COVID test so I guess I will never know!Quote:

They do have these in Wales.Quote:

i am not doubting you but the kind lady at the end of a phone call told me none available in wales and pin pointed locations in England that do it . As I work in 3 different locations I took what was on offer last Monday in North London,ishQuote:

Tory defence squad to the rescue! I voted for them so have to defend everything they do 🎺

The National Audit Office can see everything, so unless you are accusing them of dishonesty (perhaps you are) as well they will report anything dubious about them. They certainly haven't been hidden!!
I've no idea if SP means Secretary Patel either . I suspect he doesn't either.
And when someone queries one of the entries because it is from Poundland and isn't expressed in round pounds you have to wonder!
If there has been fraud and the audit office find it then Priti Patel or whoever in her office has done it should be in trouble.
Doot doot 🎺🎺
Pray tell how my post defended the Government???????Quote:
