Two days post Pfizer Vax2.

[madamesilverspurs]

Finally getting over the urge to sleep all day. Docs say that my antibodies plus the vax put me in high safe zone, but they're still keeping a close eye on me. In that, I'm one of the lucky ones.

1. I'm glad you're feeling better

[boston bean]

2. I am not sure what you mean. Did you have covid and now the last Pfizer shot?

[triron]

4. Was also wondering this.

[madamesilverspurs]

10. Two tests confirmed the antibodies.

Apparently, it was an episode that I mistook for an unusually intense COPD flare; used my bipap during the day for a few days.

3. My 76 year old husband went to the Gym hours after his second shot....

He had no issues with the Pfizer vaccine at all.

5. Glad you are feeling better!

Did 1st Pfizer cause you any problems?

[Siwsan]

6. All of this vaccination info from DUers is like gold!

I had zero reaction to my first Pfizer jab, but then I've never had a reaction to any vaccination, and I had a whole lot when I was in the military. Not sure why I was kind of worried about this one.

I get the 2nd on March 18. Hopefully that will be as easy, but if not, it's still beyond worth it.

7. I had some serious dizziness the next day after the 2nd Pfizer

Spatial distortion for about 5-6 hours. Not quite hallucinations, but the walls in my condo were a little sketchy for a bit.

[Rural_Progressive]

12. Yep, me too, kinda' trippy and not in a good way after the 2nd Pfizer

I would do it again in a heartbeat. Easy peasy, hopefully coming to a location near you.

8. A little tired on my first Pfizer A little achy on the second

Nothing much really

9. So happy you now have both vax!

Just another two weeks for it to be fully effective! 💕💕

Husband will be two weeks post 2nd Moderna vax tomorrow. He didn’t have a single side effect. He saw on CNN that having Neanderthal DNA hopes you have no side effects. His ancestors are from Croatia where Neanderthal remains were found in the 70s. 😬

11. Neanderthals were kinder and gentler than sapiens,

which is probably why sapiens won out so dramatically.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. It's quite possible that Neanderthals went extinct...

... from the temporary loss of Earth's protective magnetic field about 42,000 years ago.

Other large animals went extinct about the same time, and that period also coincides with the earliest known cave paintings in places like Europe and Indonesia... done with red ochre which is also a good sunscreen! (The ozone layer was likely depleted from cosmic rays and solar radiation freely colliding with the atmosphere.)

15. But we still have some of their DNA.

I'm glad for that.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. Yeah, I have some from my European ancestry.

So they "live on" in that sense, although the percentage of their DNA is very small.

Edit: Or maybe you mean their DNA from ancient burials? Either way, yeah, it's cool that they left it behind.

[soldierant]

24. Your first thought was what I meant.

So much of my ancestry is German, I'm hoping I do, but haven't been tested.

But the other interpretation is good too.

[MLAA]

22. Ha, no doubt!

14. Did you have any reaction after your first Pfizer shot?

I had my first shot last Tuesday and felt great, didn't even have much of a sore arm, but I was unbelievably tired Friday. I ended up taking a 4-hour nap in the middle of the day and yesterday still felt dragged out. I'm ok today, though. I'm wondering if I just needed sleep (didn't have any issues the night before) or if that was a side effect of the shot because it seems like most folks have a reaction the next day, not 3 days later.

[madamesilverspurs]

17. Had no discernable problems.

I'm used to napping during the day, so no surprise there. They did advise no tylenol or ibuprofen on the day of the shot and for two days following, since those can mask certain side effects that should be noted. My joints weren't happy, but at least I knew why.

18. Could be

I got my first Pfizer shot last Monday. I think it was Thursday that was not a good day for me, but it might have been Friday. I woke up just before 1 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep until 5. Slept for a couple of hours and then just felt tired and generally yucky almost the entire day.

Also, around the same time, my neck started hurting on the same side that I got the shot.

Nothing was extreme, and I can't really say if it was a side effect of the vaccine, and then it all just went away in the evening and I felt just fine.

[TuxedoKat]

19. Had my second Pfizer shot yesterday

No reaction after the first shot except a sore arm. Woke up today not feeling well at all with chill, aches, nausea, headache and feeling wiped out. All I did was lay on the couch and was
watch. Finally starting to feel better.

[LuckyCharms]

20. First Pfizer shot 8 days ago...

Sore arm and lethargy for about 2 days after the shot. That cleared up nicely. Yesterday, I got about 6 or 7 chicken pox looking sores near the vaccination site, and the site was burning hot to the touch, but not painful. That now seems to be improving a bit.

I hope you continue to feel better!

[TheJillMill]

21. Got my first Pfizer an hour away in Binghamton, NY last Tuesday

I had no side effects on this first one but neither did my 40-year-old son, who has a civilian job in the VA in New Mexico. After his second shot, he had violent chills and had to stay underneath blankets for a few days. My oldest son took me to the vaccination site and I told him he probably wouldn't have to come down with me again. Now, I'm having second thoughts about driving there alone. My next one is on the 16th.

23. Got my 2nd Pfizer on Thursday. So far pretty good. Arm a little sore for one day.

One night had some sinus and head cold symptoms. But was it a side effect or just allergies? And that's the trouble one doesn't know if some pain or ache is what you would have had anyway or if it was a side effect.

I really hope we get enough vaccine amassed so that everybody can get one, and soon.
