My experience after taking the COVID Vaccine

(This isn't to create a scare this is my personal experience and how it was managed)

Had the vaccine on my left arm.

Day 1-Well little pain at the site
I was fine till around 10 hours after when it all started. I wasn't ready
I noticed I had Fever, Body ache..well started mildly..after about an hour it got a bit bad. I could barely move

Started having chills and rigors and was biting my teeth
I could not sleep I was just rolling like a log of Eba looking for bearing
I went to get Analgesics and immediately I took it I felt a little relief.
At some point I was feeling dizzy thankfully there was an elevator for me to move

Woke up next morning with weakness, took another dose of analgesic felt better but I started having loss of appetite
Day 2
I felt my left hand was heavy. Not like I could not move it but I still felt the pain. My hand was feeling like it was stone.

Taking off my clothes was difficult. Did it with support of my second limb
I continued my analgesics and I kept getting better
Day 3
I really could not sleep , I was weak. Had to call in to my colleagues that i hope I will be able to come to work but I was recovering

I ensured I got a good meal continued my meds I was getting better. Well on and off fever. I just took relaxation as therapy too.
Day 4

Fever had gone, well just mild body weakness. Felt more awesome than before just little heaviness on my left hand, then I started having chest discomfort

But I was able to walk around and I laid down. Then I got worried as people didn't mention chest discomfort as theirs
Day 5
chest discomfort was resolving, appetite back, left limb better just a mild pain at injection site

I am able to do my early morning walks, I'm able to eat well. I slept well. The best compared to previous nights. Continued my Meds. Felt energy flowing back into me
later on Day 5

Started having funny sensation when I swallowed food. Well I panicked to be honest, I reached out to senior colleagues & after asking me few questions I was reassured.

Well I won't say it's the vaccine perhaps Hysteria on my path. I was skeptical with solid food
Day 6

I woke up feeling the strongest I have been since I took the vaccine.
Fever totally gone, left limb feels lighter than before

Appetite fully back, Well I'm yet to try solid food😂. Went for 10,000 morning steps.
No more weakness 💪
I feel great again
These reactions showed that the vaccine is effective.
My body mounted an adequate reaction which is to help my immune response

Some didn't have any reactions but I'm fine now. I took analgesics and ensured adequate hydration and food

I'll be glad if you'd RETWEET my experience

For people in Banks & people working from home

Lately we have been seeing them develop DVTs (clots in the leg),Well 4 cases of Pulmonary embolism (clot in the lungs)

Due to sitting in a position for long. If you're in this category. Try getting TED stockings it reduces the risk
DVT means Deep Vein Thrombosis, when you are in one position for long, chances are the blood can stay in one position and harden to form clot (Imagine PAP)

Pulmonary embolism- the clot can move from the legs to your chest. It can kill you ( This killed GOLDIE the musician RIP.
TED Stockings means Thromboembolic Deterrent Stockings also called Compression stockings

Basically how it works it is squeezes the muscle of the legs and prevent blood from staying in the legs and reduce the chances of having clots. It is cheap and easy to wear

Basically CIPA is a condition in which due to mutation of a gene that is involved in production of a protein that is involved in pain and temperature sensation. The patient does not feel pain, there is also destruction of nerves to sweat glands so patients don't sweat
a way this patients present is with injuries from skin even to bone injuries. this occurring repeatedly can cause infections in the patient.

Sweating is a way the body cools off, no sweat disturbs body function and can cause Fever and seizures
This rare syndrome is similar though with subtle difference to Congenital Pain Asymbolia which was described by Late Nigerian Ibadan Professor, Prof Osuntokun in 1968.

I will find the article and send to you. A similar case was seen in 1966 in ibadan but with deafness

A young rich man was brought in dead following gunshots in an estate. Twas alarming after we pronounced him dead, the family started fighting right there over his properties

There was fight with the wife as to who gets the death certificate, I've never seen such lack of empathy
The man did not leave a will he was Igbo, the wife was Yoruba. The brothers kept saying they were next in line to receive his properties
Wife said No it is her and the children

Was surprising to see most side with the brothers and not the wife. She cried in horror & was helpless
We told them that the wife was the one who was placed as next of kin and according to legal binding she gets the death certificate, they argued vehemently that she had no right.
The woman was speechless just crying.. there was no one to support her voice in the family

After my last post on the Penis being unable to touch the Cervix
Lot of men disputed it
saying they steadily touch the Cervix during sex
No one is an Island of knowledge

I took 24 hours to go through research papers, journal to understand better

Could they be right?
A thread
As earlier stated the cervix is the lower portion of the Uterus, usually it measures about 2-3 cm
The Vagina varies in length about roughly (7.6- 17.7 cm) (Intl Journal of O and G)

The length of vagina changes during Sex, childbirth, etc to receive or expel Penis or child, etc
During arousal the vagina elongates, lifting up the cervix adding a little distance
Average length during sex is 10cm to 20cm

Thanks for this

I won't support privatisation of healthcare,let's face it good Privatised systems in Nigeria are expensive &solely for the Elite

We have a dysfunctional govt, I'll push for functional govt where tertiary centers can be equipped, pay staff well & subsidize care
Another is to build and equip other health tiers

The primary health care system has collapsed.
What is uncomplicated malaria doing in a teaching hospital

Secondary system too is on verge of collapse

The referral system of healthcare isn't there again. It is all distorted
For example take the Lagos Island for example.

I can categorically beat my chest and tell you 98% of the private hospitals there that have state of the art equipments cannot be afforded by the masses only the elite

The remaining 2% are accessed when they do mission and outreach
