I had the same symptoms (feeling nauseous, belly / headache, cramps, coughting) when my colleagues started being vaccinated. I take also zinc, vit c and d, so I'm doing better, although I am coughting more than usual and tend to be more easily tired (but that must be the effect of the mask).
Thanks for bringing this up. One symptom I've forgotten to add is headaches. I've never been a headache person, but in the last couple of months, they turn up again and again and usually last for a whole day.
Today I learned that a woman from our division management had serious symptoms after her second jab: she was feeling very unwell for days, had chills and extreme fatigue.
I had to put on quite a show a few times and say how jealous I was of anyone who could just take the jab without any issues, how scared I am that I won't be able to travel even when things return to normal for the vaxxed ones, and how left out I feel. They feel very sorry for me but kind of consider me as one of them, an honorary vaxxer
I guess that's not very honest of me but at the end of the day I must continue to make a living so I have to maintain strategic enclosure.
Well, really, I find that's one heck of a creative and inspiring way to go about it, as well as how you talked to your doc, which you once described in another post - especially to be so convincing! I really had to chuckle when reading about your strategies and seeing those situations unfold in my mind's eye, like really good comedy, complete with the serious topic that prompted the comedy in the first place.
Last year I thought I'd give this getting a mask excemption a try and got an appointment with a doctor, well advanced in age already, who sometimes works for our company's clients. From previous interactions with him I assumed he might be someone to talk to. Boy, was I wrong! When I got there, he was clad in a full body suit of plastic foil (!). Additionally, he wore a mask and a plastic visor above it, plus gloves and, just for safety's sake, of course, a bottle of disinfectant in one of his hands. It was bizarre. I thought, 'Oy, prospects don't look all that promising after all' and prefered to get out of there immediately. Well, after deciding I'd go through with the appointment anyhow, and then after I'd voiced the reason for coming to see him (feelings of panic when wearing the mask), he worked himself into a furious frenzy, saying, "Since March [2020] there have been more and more people coming to me asking for an excemption! I don't do that! Masks protect us! We're in a pandemic!' I sat there very calmly, just observing him, and what I actually felt was: compassion for him. I could see he was stuck in his beliefs and I could understand. As if he'd picked up on that on some level his anger seemed to fizzle out and he suddenly started apologizing, "Look, I cannot do that, I'm sorry", and he went on to tell me I should find a pulmonologist and try there. And in the end he, very confidently, gave me his diagnosis: to him I was a case of depression, as, he said, was a common occurence during a pandemic, and he went on to prescribe me an anti-depressant!
And that was that.

So the technology may be only used in certain vaccines and certain batches. I just never heard of it being used in Astra Zeneca.
