One thing is certain, it always pays to take note of what your body is doing and try to make sense of it. Since my double jab last Friday there have been some changes. The main one was an itchy rash that has taken all my will power to ignore and not scratch, That's been a bit of a bugger because it has interrupted my sleep but it is retreating now and good riddance. I can't be certain it was a side effect of the jabs but that seems to be the most likely reason.
Yesterday I noticed something else that has happened over the last few days. For many months now I have had oedema inj my feet and both legs and thought that was just a natural consequence of the fact I am a lot more sedentary than I used to be. It hasn't caused my any problems, just a nagging little circumstance. The change is that I realised yesterday it has gone completely! My legs and feet are back to what they used to be. I don't trust it to be a permanent change but I think it's very strange that it can switch off like that.....
I shall carry on as usual and take note. I hope the change is permanent!
Once again of course I can't pin it definitively on the double jab but that is perhaps the more likely reason.

Stanley, correlation isn't causation! Your kidneys work better when you are lying down so maybe a little more rest did the work? Strangely enough, I used to take pills for swollen ankles and the need stopped almost overnight and so I stopped taking them (overnight).

:good: Couldn't agree more Julie.... However, Whilst I have of course noted the way the swelling lessened overnight but never to the extent I have experienced now..... This is something different...... I'd love to know for certain what. :biggrin2:

Could be the colder weather. One of my ankles swells in warmer weather but its fine again by this time of year.
