Wow! Had a delayed reaction to the vaccination yesterday:

[PCIntern]

It was interesting, everything was fine and I was going about my daily chores. I had to take a ride into Philadelphia from here which is about an hour and was completely uneventful. I was at my office doing a few things and all of a sudden it was like a wave broke over me. I don’t get sick often, perhaps once every five years or less, but I suddenly had terrible lassitude and fever which was almost 100°. I took a couple of aspirin which works best for me personally, and the fever sort of broke. After I did, I got back in my car drove back home and had absolutely no appetite or strength. I watched a little TV, toddled off to bed at about 830 and awakened at 12:30 with fever and the shakes. I took two more aspirin, went back to bed, felt the fever break and finally fell asleep around 3 o’clock.

I woke up at about 8:30 feeling fine, perfect in fact. I am virtually certain that it was from the vaccination because when I get a 24 hour flu bug I get many other symptoms which I did not have to endure this time. I’m just posting this so People know that the reaction to the vaccine may be highly variable, since I receive mine last Monday, and not to worry.

Oh yes....the Gates chip seems to be working fine. I keep accidentally typing Microsoft.com/accessories all of the time.

Sorry...couldn’t resist. It’s the after-effects of the...the...the Jewish Space Lasers! Yeah, that’s the ticket!

[Wounded Bear]

1. Thanks for the update...nt

[ananda]

2. Lol.

Glad you are OK.

Laughing at the Gates chip...

[Hugin]

3. Good to know, Doc.

I'm hoping that is all it was, I guess it makes sense because every individual's immune system is different.

[machoneman]

4. Got my first Pfizer shot on 3/19, Friday afternoon. Zero issues for even as I turned in.

In the a.m., had a slight headache, took 2 aspirins, went away in 2 hours. Since then, as of Sunday a.m, zero anything.

Happy for sure as my gal had her 1st Pfizer shot a few days before me and ouch! With underlying conditions and having survived COVID-19 last March, 2020, perhaps these are the reasons she's still hurting. Injection site was hot to the touch for 3 days but it's now subsided. Still lethargic but getting better slowly.

Odd how different our symptoms (or no symptoms for me) were.

[Baitball Blogger]

5. How many days since the vaccination?

[PCIntern]

7. Five.

[Jersey Devil]

6. My lassitude was good but my altitude was out of control

After my second Moderna shot I briefly turned into a flying squirrel, then a frog, but Advil took care of that.

[DownriverDem]

65. After my second Moderna Shot on the second day I

had symptoms of fatigue, headache, felt clammy & aches and pains. The symptoms went away by evening. Some folks said their symptoms lasted longer.

[notinkansas]

84. I also got the Modern a vaccine for my first shot.

Haven't had the second one yet. A medical provider told me that the second Moderns shot is tough. : /

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

110. My second Moderna shot last Thursday no worse than first.

Both just made my arm sore when pressure applied, didn't sleep on my left side Thurs. or Friday nights. Last night I did, no problem.
ADW

[ailsagirl]

115. I had my second Moderna 💉

this past Tuesday (16th) and it seemed to be much like the first.

[smirkymonkey]

125. Was the person who gave you your shot a witch by any chance?

[Hortensis]

8. :) Useful info. I want to know what happens when our

tracking chips are activated by 5G but am afraid to visit the sites where they know.

[SCantiGOP]

19. Do you have a desire to eat children?

That and a deep concern about gender issues for a plastic potato are often the first symptoms.

[Hortensis]

35. :) Not yet; fortunately, our grandchildren are all

bigger than us now, and we're shrinking to boot. Plastic potatoes I can handle.

I think, though, that Gates should rethink the satisfactions of the whole world domination while living forever thing. Anyone who wants to burden himself with mankind had better build in a back way out.

[SCantiGOP]

37. The inaccuracy in the story

Is that it was actually Steve Jobs that put a tracking device on every human.
It’s called an iPhone, and I am typing on it right now, so there is no need to implant me with another tracking chip.

[Hortensis]

40. So, Jobs is Q?! Alive at his secret island sanctuary,

or is it in space?

Chip malfunctions could be a complete explanation for the increase in craziness and chaos. It's finally starting to make sense...

[Bayard]

9. My wagon is still draggin'

No energy, sleeping a lot. First vaccination last Wed., so wondering how bad the second one will be.

[PCIntern]

11. Wondering that myself. Oh well.

[hlthe2b]

15. Oh, so that was your first dose?

Pfizer or Moderna?

[PCIntern]

16. Yes...

Here...


https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215248340

[hlthe2b]

21. I've administered at two mass clinics and doing another in two weeks. Sorry you had a tough

experience, especially on the pre-screening (eligibility side). I think Colorado is doing a good job with that, but...

I am encouraging EVERYONE I vaccinate (and every clinic event I've worked has provided the handout) to participate in

VSAFE (the CDC tracking system for after-vaccine issues, whether none at all, minor, or severe). It is damned simple. They will send you a text which takes 20 seconds at most to reply every day for the first week and then weekly thereafter. Same drill for second dose.

Here is where you sign up, in case you are not aware. Please do so.

https://vsafe.cdc.gov/en/

For those who think it is not so important... This massive source of data will speed to the approval of these vaccines on a regular review--nonemergent. By doing so, the military (where approx 30% are refusing) to require the vaccine for all active duty and this is critical. They cannot require an emergency-approved vaccine to be administered but once it is fully approved, they can.


I hope your second dose goes a bit better for you. That said, you know you are having a robust immune response and there is something reassuring to that.

[PCIntern]

23. Thank you. I will do that.

[OneGrassRoot]

27. THAT'S what I was looking for. Thank you!!! n/t

[hlthe2b]

29. You are most welcome. Spread the word...

[phylny]

103. I participated for both shots.

It was easy.

[redstatebluegirl]

119. I had a pretty hefty reaction to the second moderna.

The scientist at my house also said I was having a robust immune response. Any side effect beats a vent.

[c-rational]

63. Great story and glad you are feeling better, but still curious which vaccine you got?

Also, I like salsa with my chip, even when I am flying low.

[PCIntern]

64. Pfizer

[True Blue American]

118. My first Pfizer

Was just a sore arm.

My second was a lump on my arm, then delayed reaction.vomit, nauseous, sick at my stomach for 2 days. Then tiredness.

[Bayard]

111. Pfizer

[bdamomma]

10. Glad you are

okay, I guess everyone is different with the shots. At least you got them.

[Unwind Your Mind]

12. First Moderna on Friday

No reactions except my arm is very sore. And not the way I would have expected. She stuck me very high up but it doesn’t hurt at the injection site. I feels like pulled muscles halfway down my upper arm and is very painful when I lift that arm up over my head (reaching for something in a cabinet)

Better today, just weird

[ffr]

30. First Moderna on Thursday.

Similar to yours, but only to 25% of the degree, by the sounds of it. I'd call my shoulder (upper elbow to shoulder) tender, like if I'd run into the wall. Onset was 4 hours after the injection. I wouldn't sleep on it, of course, but mild tenderness. In fact, I had to do ladder work right after and the next day, arms over my head. No big deal, just tender.

17 hours the tenderness began to wane, itch in fact, turning to swampiness for most of the day and insomniatic into the night. Less than 48 hours after injection, 90% of the tenderness went away.

I think the first shot was a caffeine energy drink.

[c-rational]

61. I had a very sore arm after a vaccination several years back. The next time a nurse told me to

make sure your arm is relaxed when you get the shot - i.e. do not tense your muscle. That seems to havel helped in the shots since.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. Changes in Lassitudes, Changes in Attitudes... nt

[PCIntern]

14. Lassie Come Home.

[George II]

17. Had mine at noon yesterday. Felt nothing until late at night, my arm started aching a little...

I woke up and the arm aches more, but you couldn't even see where the shot was, no bruise or "red dot" (as my wife calls it) Around 9AM I started getting a couple of minor muscle aches - one in my forearm and one in my upper hip. Nothing debilitating.

No fever or flu-ish aches though.

[moreland01]

71. Me too!

I had an ache in my upper hip too! Weird.

[dchill]

18. The JSLs have a low-power setting...

...that makes you think you have a fever.

[wnylib]

88. What's a JSL?

[3catwoman3]

94. Taking a guess here - Jewish...

...Space Lasers?

[wnylib]

101. OK. Thanks.

[taxi]

20. Security levels must be set for signed macros from trusted sources only BEFORE chip installation

Why doesn't anyone read the instruction tomes and EULA anymore?

[Thtwudbeme]

22. I know of a few people that have had a delay reaction

including me.

I felt fine the day after. However, 24 hours later, I had a headache and muscle pains. I took tylenol and went to bed early last night, and feel pretty good today.

[TeslaNova]

24. I also had a delayed reaction

About 6-7 days after the first Pfizer vaccine. Tired as hell and just felt sick, lasted a few days but still feel a kind of brain fog.

[sarge43]

25. "I keep accidentally typing Microsoft.com/accessories..."

No Blue Screen of Death?

[KTinaY2008]

26. Had my 2nd dose of Pfizer yesterday

Woke up this morning with a very sore arm, slight headache, temp runs 99.6 to 100.1, very tired, and chills. I don't feel horrible just blah.

After the first dose, I had a slight sore arm and nothing else.

It's all worth it to be fully vaccinated!

[Evolve Dammit]

28. Awesome to get the second and look forward to things. Welcome to DU!

[paleotn]

31. Sounds like the Moderna 2nd shot.

Same here. Like flipping a switch. One minute I was fine, next I'm not....wait 24 hours and I'm fine again. Weird.

[oldsoftie]

42. My 2nd is Apr 5th. Apprehensive, I admit.

Plus i'm taking my 95 yr old mom for hers too. Wondering how she'll deal with any of these effects

[paleotn]

54. Some do, some don't.

My better half had little side affects. Mine felt like a bad cold.

[grantcart]

80. Talked with over a dozen 80+ women who said they had no effect at all

Maybe easier on the 80+ folks

[oldsoftie]

81. I've actually heard that too. Some say their immune system isnt as robust

So they dont get as much of a response. I dont know how accurate that is though. I know a few quite younger than me who also didnt have any problems.

[Texin]

32. Your post second vaccination experience sounds like mine.

I got my second Moderna vacc on Friday at 3:30. I was fine the rest of the afternoon and all evening, with the expected sore arm, but woke up around 4 a.m. needing to go to the bathroom, and was so weak, I had to hold onto the bed to brace and not fall. Made it back to bed and woke still feeling pretty rough. No energy, low grade chills and a low grade fever. I used a couple of acetaminophen and started feeling a little better, but I didn't want to do anything the rest of the day except read and nap. Around 3ish that afternoon, I started feeling feverish, took my temp and it was 100.6. Took a couple more acetaminophen tabs and at about 4:30, the fever vanished and for the rest of the afternoon and into the evening I felt fine. It was as if the effects vanished about 24 hours after the vaccination. Today I feel fine. Overnight I noticed that I had a bit of congestion in the lungs, but nothing serious (and, frankly, that may due to my allergies-asthma because the pollen count is so high here in Dallas).

While I didn't welcome feeling rough for most of a day, I did welcome the reaction to the vaccine. I know that the worse the symptoms experienced in the aftermath of the second vaccine (and the single injection J&J) means that the immune system recognized and was prepared to fight the Covid-19 virus. Now I just have to wait a couple of weeks in order to begin carefully getting back into a more "normal" life. Just in time to be able to hit some of the garden supply and nurseries in the area, and our ravaged landscape needs it. But that's another story.

[northoftheborder]

47. My landscape is also ravaged. Waiting to see what actually survived.

Many things froze which had never - even rosemary.

[Karma13612]

113. Moderna second dose Sunday Mar 14:

Same as your experience.

I’m just 67 /female and this one hit me really hard. As hubby said, can you imagine if it was the real thing?

One more week of waiting and then I’m fully covered!! It’s a great relief!!

P.s. I got COVID-arm at about day #7 after dose #1.

[Dave in VA]

33. Oh yes....the Gates chip seems to be working fine."

I asked the person administering my second Moderna injection if this one contained the "Gates chip" or was it only in the first one. She said that both do, but with the second chip you get your choice of salsa or queso!



And, yes, after about 3 days I had a similar reaction to the second shot, but no chills. Lasted about a day and a half.

[Hekate]

56. LOL "With the second chip you get your choice of salsa or queso" Thanks for that!

I am definitely using it. Soon.

[MustLoveBeagles]

74. That response to your question was funny

I'm stealing it.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

[jaxexpat]

76. 1st shot in right arm, arm very sore, woke up at 2 am and it was ordering stuff from Amazon.

2nd shot in left arm, arm a little sore, woke up at 2 am, it was pacing about and muttering things. Glad I'm right handed, can't store any more electric bikes, also glad there's only 2 shots.

[Ms. Toad]

99. Why not get both in the non-dominant arm? n/t

[jaxexpat]

116. I wouldn't want to show preference. Prejudice kills.

[Ms. Toad]

117. Having lost the use of my dominant arm for 35 days

I'm letting the non-dominant arm take both for the team.

[Warpy]

34. That reaction was exactly on time

since it takes about that long for your body to gin up a big immune response to a large viral load. It's why you don't get sick immediately after some clod coughs in your face.

For future reference, fevers below 102F are considered beneficial and aren't treated. Antipyretics are given when they're accompanied by body aches.

/PSA

[TeslaNova]

36. Makes sense

But you would think more would have experienced this. Searching google and the CDC turns up nothing about delayed reactions a week after a vaccine. I'm just glad to hear a few others have experienced it because I was starting to wonder what the heck was going on.

[PCIntern]

38. Yes thank you.

My fever was spiking and my body ached 4/10. I do not handle fevers well: I had chronic bronchitis as a youngster and have resultant lung issues which are extremely debilitating if they become involved. I wish I were medically simple.

[Texin]

53. Does that mean one SHOULD'NT take a fever/pain reliever?

My fever was low, but I felt like crap. The acetaminophen made me feel better, but I didn't have body aches per se.

[Warpy]

73. You'll feel better but it's counterproductive with a garden variety pathogen

Fever is how your body starts making the climate inhospitable, weakening the pathogen, and alerting every part of the immune system that there is a problem.

Remember, feeling like crap isn't due to the infection, it's due to your body's response to it. The more you can hold off on popping that pill, the better.

[left-of-center2012]

96. Get your advice from your MD

My doc said take acetaminophen and drink lots of fluids.

[malaise]

39. Take care

We need you here and watch that chip.

[oldsoftie]

41. Was that after the first or second shot?

I've had my first Moderna with no problems. Apr 5th for the 2nd along with my 95 yr old mom

[PCIntern]

43. First. Thx.

[elleng]

44. Thanks, PC, and all;

awaiting 2d Moderna April 3.

[mac2766]

45. I took my 1st Moderna shot ...

It'll be 3 weeks on Tuesday. Can't wait to get the 2nd one over with so I can stop avoiding maskless people.

It did affect me a little bit. I had chills and was fatigued. I work as an electrician, which is a fairly physical job. Up and down ladders, demolition, etc... I think I went back to work too soon. I was fatigued for almost a week, and my muscles hurt throughout that period of time.

My wife has had both of her Moderna shots. The first had no affect. The 2nd one did though. She had severe chills and an overall weak and ill feeling for about 36 hours or so. She slept quite a bit during that period.

I'm 56, she's 55. Her parents are in their 80's. They have both taken both Moderna shots. Neither of them had any ill affects.

It's strange how it's affecting different people differently. I'm wondering if it might have to do with exposure. I'm wondering if I might have been infected at some point which triggered my immune system to go into overdrive once the mrna cells were introduced. I'm not a scientist, so I'm left guessing about it, but it is a curiosity.

[Tink41]

109. IBEW? N/T

[h2ebits]

46. Is it possible that you actually had/have COVID-19?

Perhaps you should consider getting tested to see if you are positive? I'm not in the medical field but know that some people are actually developing COVID-19 after vaccine doses.

[PCIntern]

49. I've been tested multiple times

If I had COVID I wouldn’t be 99.8% today

[h2ebits]

52. Good news. . . .

As I said, I'm not in the medical field.

[liberal_mama]

60. But they either had already Covid19 or caught it after the 1st vaccine, right?

I don't think you can get Covid19 from the vaccine.

[h2ebits]

77. No, you cannot catch COVID-19 from the vaccine

But a really small percentage of people actually show up with COVID after the vaccine and you are correct. That's the reason that everyone should be signing up on the CDC website that is listed in one of the comments so side effects can be tracked.

Edit to add: It is post #21 that gives you the detailed information for sign-up.

[wnylib]

91. The mNRA vaccines, e.g. Pfizer and Moderna,

cannot give you covid. They do not have the covid virus in them. They only have a protein "blueprint" to tell the immune system what to watch for and how to prepare for and react to it.

Anyone who says they actually got covid from the vaccine is misinformed, maybe mistaking the vaccine reaction for the actual illness.

It is possible to get covid after being vaccinated if you are exposed to the virus before the second shot, or before the second shot has had time to build up enough antibody protection, but it does not come from the shot itself.

[DENVERPOPS]

48. Purely anecdotal and not scientific

but I have had several doctors/Nurses say to go home after either shot, and take two aspirin. That they noticed people who do this do fare much better.......

[Cozmo]

50. Sorry to hear this, but

From what I know as to the challenges that existed in Philly to even get the vaccine, it's great to know you were able to get it

[PCIntern]

67. Nightmare here until recently...

Here is part 1

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215248340

[PatrickforB]

51. LOL, yeah, I think I have the Gates chip, too.

The world operates on Windows, for sure.

I'm glad you are better now.

[calimary]

55. We got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine yesterday.

Only thing we both noticed was fatigue. We both got home, stretched out to catch up on the news and conked out for awhile.

Otherwise, nothing else. VERY TINY bit of tenderness at the injection point but that’s it. Feeling fine today! But I don’t know if it’s just normal feeling-fine or because of a sense of accomplishment that we got that one DONE and OFF our plate. That’s always a big point for me - when something’s done and off my plate.

[nvme]

57. It happens

it only last like a day and bam! you are 100 after

[homegirl]

58. Very similar to the reaction

I had after the second Moderna vaccine. Fever went to 100.4, which is high for me as I am hypothyroid., normally 96.2.

But it sure feels good to begin an almost normal life. Lunch at a restaurant with a friend after a year! St. Patrick's Day dinner with a friend and a few family members.

Keep well thoughts to all...

[AllyCat]

59. Sounds like the vaccine. Your body said "oh crap! This thing again!"

And you fought and won!

[PCIntern]

62. Lol

Victory for the Oppressed!!

[shrike3]

66. I had fatigue for about two days, but no fever.

Now I know what to expect for the second shot.

[PCIntern]

68. Maybe not...

Can’t predict. And this was my first shot.

[shrike3]

123. I'll find out in two weeks when I get shot No. 2.

[George II]

72. I was fine yesterday afternoon and even until I went to bed. Woke up this morning and had....

....muscle aches. Had a minor headache for an hour but that went away.

I wonder sometimes how much of the side-effects are in our heads?

[StarryNite]

79. I wonder how much of the side effects are in our heads too.

Seriously, I read through a lot of these posts and all of a sudden I start having side effects and I haven't even been vaccinated yet. I'm scheduled for next week and I really need to stop reading this stuff because it's scaring me more and more.

[SunSeeker]

82. Yup, med students have the same problem.

They tend to believe they're dying of whatever malady they're studying at the moment.

[George II]

92. That's why I was so exhausted - I read about side effects Friday night and Saturday morning....

....and worked my way into a frenzy.

Meanwhile my wife (a nurse for 40+ years) was sitting there watching me and chuckling. She KNOWS that nothing much was going to happen, and she was right.

Today I felt like I had flu symptoms, slight chills and aches, but NO FEVER and no headache. She explained it by saying it's the immune system fighting something strange in the body and creating antibodies, which is good (probably more technical/medical than that, but...)

Then, just as suddenly as they appeared, all those pains, chills, etc. went away.

[Karma13612]

114. Don't be scared

But I gotta admit, when my symptoms began in the middle of the night while I was sound asleep, I would say it wasn’t in my noggin. Shaking chills and fever that disturbed my sleep the rest of the night.

LOL

[shrike3]

122. My husband had no side effects, so I assumed I would not as well.

The day after the shot, I felt tired and out of sorts, and couldn't figure out why.

The third day, I finally felt like myself again. It dawned on me it may have been from the shot.

I just talked to an 85-year-old woman who had no side effects whatsoever. I think it's different for every person.

[Hekate]

89. Depends on the person, I think. Normally I have little adverse response to inoculations & expect...

...none, but Shingrex #1 knocked me for a loop for several days, including a swelling on my arm that was bright red, hot, and the size of my hand — so I am wondering how #2 will go.

As for the various COVID vaxxes, in following the discussions here I have noticed people’s reactions are all over the map. My Moderna #1 was meh, but my sis said it was her Moderna #2 that sent her to bed for several days. She recommended ice cream as a palliative

So I’ll just wait and see. Everybody my husband and I have talked to has said even if they had pain, fever, and chills, the main side effect was an overwhelming sense of relief.

[BobTheSubgenius]

69. I'm sorry you had a reaction like that, but glad to hear it didn't last.

I think the big takeaway is "I got my vaccination!" Congratulations on that!

[PCIntern]

70. Absolutely!

I’m just relating all this so people know what some go through after. No big deal

Better than dying.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

75. I have a friend who got both the Moderna and Pfzier vaccines by mistake

The hospital clinic screwed up and he got the Pfizer vaccine first and then showed up for second shot and was given the Moderna vaccine. He was sick for the day after and then was back lifting weights the following day. His doctor discovered the issue and had him come in for antibody test. My friend has the highest level of antibodies that this doctor has seen

I am glad that you are feeling better.

[SunSeeker]

83. Good for him! I think they will find out mixing vaccines will actually produce higher immunity.

Especially if Pfizer is your first dose. You have 85% immunity three weeks after you first does of Pfizer, so the second dose only ups it by 10%.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

93. My friend's doctor was thrilled by this result

The mixing of vaccines may make sense

[Pepsidog]

78. Hope you feel better

[LPBBEAR]

85. Reaction

I had a bit of dizziness and slight nausea after both shots. Not immediately but a few days afterwards. Other than that no other issues. Pfizer here.

[locks]

86. I've had Kaiser Permanente

for many years and have never had any problem with any shots though they told me the second vaccination was more likely to have some side effects. I had no problems. But I did have a shock when I got a shingles shot two months before the covid 19 vaccination and had lots of pain and itching, bad rash and bruising which lasted for two months. My doctor has many elderly patients and apologized as she knew this is not uncommon. I think everyone should be given good information as shingles shots (now you have to have two) are very important because shingles is a severe disease that even young people can get.

[ailsagirl]

90. Hope all that's behind you!

Thus far, other than sore arm and headaches, nothing else. Knock wood.

Thanks for the heads-up!

[left-of-center2012]

95. "I suddenly had terrible lassitude"

[left-of-center2012]

97. Experiences differ; and be careful taking advice off an internet forum

Some here say "Take a pain killer, fever reducer"
Some say don't.

My primary physician said "Take Tylenol and drink plenty of fluids"

That said, although people have differing opinions and experiences,
it's interesting to hear the various reactions.

I get my second Maderna shot this Saturday, the 27th.

[soldierant]

98. I have multiple allergies and am a delayed reactor at the best of times.

I've had a couple of allergy-triggered fevers over 102°. The first one I treated and broke with a cold-water whole-body soak. I couldn't do that with the second one because I was in the hospital post-surgery at the time ... they were making me crazy taking blood samples looking for high white cell count (it was in fact low - so of course I was making them crazy too, quite unintentionally.) I broke that one with - well, not actually Gatorade, but the equivalent with all-natural ingredients. It took a couple of quarts and I had to have it smuggled in by family, but the fever broke - I felt it break - in the early morning hours. I was due and ready for release, and they didn't want to let me out because they didn't understand it, but thank God I had had the first incident, because my prior experience of an allergic fever was what got me out.

I use aspirin and other NSAIDs for headache, muscle, and joint pain. It frankly would not occur to me to use them for a fever.

[PCIntern]

107. Really. I grew up with ASA for fever without question

St Joseph’s aspirin for children. Orange flavor. Yum.

[left-of-center2012]

112. I totally agree with you

I'm surprised there is someone who does not know aspirin is a fever reducer.

[soldierant]

124. All NSAIDs are fever reducers.

that is what the AI in NSAID stands for - anti-inflammatory.

But when I know I'm having an allergic fever, I'm not going to put additional OTC drugs, and even less the fillers in OTC drugs (i.e., more allergens and potential allergens), into my body if I can avoid it.

And it does have to be over 101° at least, and probably over 102°, to even get my attention.

I had my first shot last week and all I got was a lousy sore arm... I think you are probably better protected than me...

106. Pfizer: just a sore arm for a day with both shots.

Couldn't get my drama junkie fix.

I sometimes wonder if I got a placebo.

120. Glad you're feeling better, but a bit concerned..

..about the use of aspirin. I have been told by multiple sources that an anti-inflammatory like aspirin or ibuprofen is a no-no for this. Tylenol is okay (but do NOT drink anything alcoholic if you do take Tylenol - it can cause acute liver damage). By taking an anti-inflammatory drug you are countering the vaccination effect.
..but of course, this is easy for me to say; when I got my 2nd Moderna shot on 3/11, I merely had minor body aches and chills (but no fever) for about 24 hours.

121. The brilliance of the group at McNeil pharmaceuticals

Is that they have convinced an entire nation that aspirin is more dangerous than heroin. There are numerous articles extolling the virtues of Tylenol and excoriating aspirins’ use, but in fact Tylenol is less effective in many circumstances and carries its own potential dangers.
