On March 28, I got vaccinated for Hepatitis a and B. Today I was feeling very itchy. this is one of the symptoms for Hepatitis. I took the vaccination because I was living with an infected person. I did tests to check whether I am infected (before having vaccinated) and the results came out negative for B and C. the doctor suggested that I should not check for a.
The infeccted person I was living with is infected with a. However, I am sure that I did not get anything from him because I did not touch anything in common between us for two weeks (the time needed for the vaccination to actually take affect).
From my reading however, I am aware that infected people usually experience symptoms after one month. do you think being vaccinated I got the disease? is this right?
the itchiness and vaccinations are completely unrelated. "itchy" is NOT a symptoms of Hepatitis. "itchy" is most likely related to an allergen -it is spring and pollination time for most plants. try Benedryl (more than one dose). if that doesn't work, call your doctor for a prescription antihistamine.
educate yourself about the different types of Hepatitis.
Um…if you wanted to be tested for a, the doctor HAD to do it, especially since you have just cause for the testing… this is a major mistake on his part.
That said, I doubt you have hepatitis. Vaccines often create symptoms of the disease as your body learns to fight it off, and having it take up to a month is not uncommon. that does not mean you GOT it. also, you might just be having an allergic reaction to something that you touched.
