I’ve posted before that since having severe CFS and agoraphobia I’m behind on some appointments and now with the covid vaccine I feel under more pressure.
My husband and eldest son(hes 18) are going to have the vaccine. My 2 younger kids are 17 and 15 and can’t have the vaccine as yet in the UK. So obviously with my daughter in school there’s going to be a risk of her catching it until children can have the vaccine. So I’ll be at risk if I don’t have the vaccine.
I had the swine flu vaccine back in 2009 and had a really nasty reaction to it, I was ill for weeks and I developed CFS in 2015, if not before as I had fatigue issues for a while. I’m anxious to have it done incase it makes my situation worse. I don’t go anywhere as I’ve been housebound for a few years so right now going out catching it isn’t an issue but of course the risk concerns me. We’re such a careful family, we stay home, wipe all our groceries and parcels down, my hubby has been amazing. He has asthma so he’s extra careful for him too.
I just don’t feel comfortable having the vaccine and not really able to push myself to get it. Is anyone else not having it? And has other family members that could still bring the virus into the home? My son says I’m stupid and should push myself to the doctors to get the vaccine but having major medical trauma, CFS and agoraphobia the last few years it’s not easy at all. Plus I’m terrified of making the CFS worse from putting myself through that horrendous anxiety it’ll cause and incase the vaccine makes my condition worse.
Hope you’re all safe and well x.
