4.5 hours post-1st-Moderna

[sir pball]

The third leg I sprouted did make my afternoon run easier, but the 5G service is kind of spotty around here so the voice in my head from Gates and Soros keeps cutting out...

A little soreness, honestly more at this point than any other vax I've had besides yellow fever, but nothing of any concern. Will check in again after 24.

[blm]

1. Heh. I had mine 6hrs ago, sir

Not much soreness for me so far.

[Mr.Bill]

2. I was fortunate to get through both Moderna shots

with nothing but a little soreness at the injection site for about one day.

[sir pball]

5. I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse

It's fine; my legs are actually more aching than my arm right now. But even if it does get worse, I'm ok with it - a. I'd like to have some semblance of normalcy and b. seriously, the yellow fever shot is a special kind of hell and I keep reminding myself that; this cannot be worse!

[ProfessorGAC]

3. Over 25 Hours For Me

Nothing. Not even soreness around the injection site.
I was at least expecting the sore arm.

[lkinwi]

4. After my first, I texted my right wing anti-vaccine cousins that I haven't grown another head yet.

One laughed, the other is worried that I will die after my second dose.

[sir pball]

6. I did the obligatory social media post and apparently offended a few

Some of my high school classmates are...well, let's just say it involves a rodent living in a privy. One of them hits the jackpot, Qhead Fundie Naturopath - she's absolutey livid that I tagged it #rewritemydnaplease* and #IDGAFifitfelltoearthinanalienspacecraft, says I "don't understand the unimaginable damage I'm doing to my genome and it is NOT A LAUGHING MATTER!"

* - I'm well aware of how mRNA vaccination works

[Nonhlanhla]

11. After your second dose...

...you should dress up as a ghost and go visit that second cousin...

Just saying...

[lkinwi]

27. Too bad they live 300 miles away! 😂

[prodigitalson]

35. You and your cousin and almost everyone reading this will die after your 2nd dose

statistically speaking.

[localroger]

7. Got my first shot two weeks ago

Bit of minor soreness, nothing distressing. Looking forward to my second and full vaccination in 2 more weeks.

[GoCubsGo]

8. Got my first a week ago, and it wiped me out for a day or so.

Although, not enough to keep me from maintaining normal activities. I had some soreness during the next couple of days, but I don't know if it was from the shot, or from my bad shoulder.

[Goodheart]

9. The Moderna recipients seem to be having more problems than the Pfizer ones.

That's been my experience here in Louisiana among friends, relatives, and neighbors.

I had my first Pfizer shot. Piece of cake.

[LisaL]

10. Maybe because Moderna uses more mRNA than Pfizer.

NT

[Goodheart]

12. I've taken it to mean that the Moderna vaccine is probably more effective. LOL

[sir pball]

15. I think it is, actually

Like 94% vs 92%, but still...suck it Pfizer losers!

[liberal_mama]

30. I read the Moderna has over 3x the mRNA that Pfizer uses

I wonder why there is such a difference in the amount in the 2 vaccines.

[LisaL]

33. Moderna was asked to see if they can decrease the dose.

But that would mean a separate clinical trial, I am assuming.

[11 Bravo]

13. The first Pfizer spike gave me a sore arm for about 36 hours.

No big deal.
I get my second dose one week from today.

[liberal_mama]

31. I had a mildly sore arm from my first dose of Pfizer and I was tired for a day

I'm not sure if the fatigue was related to the vaccine though because I didn't sleep well the night before. I'm getting my second dose in a few weeks.

[sir pball]

14. Yeah, that's what I've heard

And it's why I decided to check in.

The extra limb fell off about an hour ago, so that shouldn't be a concern.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

16. Congratulations

I had no reaction to first shot but had a slight fever for one night after second shot

[sir pball]

17. Okay, so not feeling so great but it's OK

Sore as hell, a bit shaky and at 100.8.

All good though, I have an extremely overreactive immune system - I've literally been sick once in the last 24 years, without ever having a flu shot, so this is not unexpected and should actually mean I have a better outcome.

But for now I just want some Earl Grey, hot, and my binkie.

[USALiberal]

20. So you don't trust the flu shot??? Nt

[sir pball]

24. Of course not, Homer Simpson was right!

Flu shots are just mind control to whip us all into an orgy of buying useless crap, why do you think they're administered just before the Christmas season?!?! Wake up sheeple!!

Realistically, I honestly never once had the flu till I was 39, and even then I'll just deal with it rather than get the shot. All that running I do does pay off.

[USALiberal]

34. Lol, ok! Nt

[prodigitalson]

18. In 24 the side effects were gone

They didn't begin until about 8 hours after each shot and lasted less than 16. A lot of tiredness, chills and sore muscles...mostly on shot 2. But didnt last long on either.

Congrats!!

[herding cats]

19. My chip is definitely faulty. It keeps needing reboots and asking to update.

So far, it's preforming exactly as poorly as I expected.

On a serious note, my arm hurt quite a bit on my Moderna first dose, too. It caused me sleeping discomfort for 3 days. No big deal, but I'd notice it when I rolled onto it.

I just had my second on Wednesday and it hurt on Thursday and was all gone completely by today, Friday. I hope your experience is at least as mild as mine was. No other side effects other than going to bed early both nights of my injections.

[sir pball]

23. I didn't even know my arm was sore till I leaned on the wall

Instantly recoiled and it's been "downhill" since then - not doing great ATM but certainly nothing I regret!

[herding cats]

25. I'm sorry to hear that.

I know I got lucky on my vaccine. I have a couple of autoimmune conditions (RA and lupus) and was told I might overreact to the antibodies. Fortunately, I didn't beyond being extra, super sleepy and my arm thing.

I hope you feel better tomorrow. Congrats on the shot and the antibodies you're building!

[sir pball]

26. Oh, no apologies needed - I will live

I view this (ow ow ow) as my body just kicking ass

[smirkymonkey]

21. Glad to hear all is well.

Just don't follow your usual routine. That way, the micro-chip can't figure out your daily pattern.

[sir pball]

28. Morning update, 100.3F

Can't lift my arm more than 45 degrees, aches, chills, even a touch of nausea...officially not looking forward to #2. But going by this reaction, I'll be super immune at least!

And now I'm gonna go spend the day in bed.

[GPV]

29. I am so sorry. I got the J&J and had mild symptoms and minimal soreness

this AM. Hopefully it doesn't have to feel bad to work well.

[sir pball]

36. Oh, it's quite alright

I didn't have anything planned for today or tomorrow, for just such an emergency. It's unpleasant, but nothing horrible and a small price to pay!

[LisaL]

32. I also got Moderna yesterday (first shot).

My only symptoms so far are slightly sore arm.
My immune system must be sleeping.
