Hello again! I have had a bad reaction to the second Pfizer jab and the flu jab which I had two weeks ago. After a few hours I cannot move my legs at all. Last time, this resulted in me falling in the shower room (I needed a wee!) and Dave phoning 999 so I could go to hospital by ambulance. I am now due the booster jab which is apparently stronger, so concerned that I needed to manage this situation, I phoned the GP. He said perhaps I shouldn't have the booster so I told him that medical consultant had advised that getting covid would be a lot worse than this reaction (clears up after two days). GP then asked me what I would like to happen. I said to be admitted to hospital via A&E before my legs went. He then said he would write a letter explaining the situation to A&E but GPs have no power to tell A&E what to do.
On reflection, this leaves me feeling out on a limb. I've been advised by an admin to phone 111, which I will do tomorrow. I'm wondering if anyone else has had bad reactions and also, what advice would you give please?
