How you felt about it? Sample Answer: I abhor taking medicines generally and taking them for paltry issues and mild health
inconveniences is not what I usually practice. However, there was a time when I became quite
lackadaisical with a fever that I got after taking my vaccination for Covid -19. The post-vaccine
symptoms took a toll on my health not because of the vaccine but because of intestinal
inflammation that I came to know later.
After bearing the pain for some days, I finally decided to get myself examined and the doctor
confirmed that it was not due to the vaccine symptom. Instead, I had Colitis due to which there
is an inflammation in my intestine wall, and hence the pain. So, I was recommended medicines
and routine checkups every third day.
Actually, after getting my vaccination for Covid-19, I was told that I could expect mild
symptoms post the vaccine as the immune system gets activated and charged up as a reaction
to the constituents of the vaccine. However, little did I know that under the pretext of the
symptoms, I would be brushing my intestinal inflammation aside. On the stipulated day, I got
my dose and at night, I had a mild headache and a slight fever. The next day, I felt a severe
headache and pain in my intestine, which I thought would be a cascade of symptoms I was
going through, so I didn’t take any medicine. However, my situation deteriorated with no fever
or headache but an excruciating pain in my intestine due to Colitis. Thus, when the doctor
prescribed the medicines for this, I had no option but to take them.
I felt quite relieved after two doses of the medicine and got treated well due to the
prescription. Consequently, I realized that health is not something one can topple up with.
