Had covid, first moderna, second moderna

[boston bean]

Covid sucked. Still struggling with some effects

First moderna high temps chills for twenty four hours

Second Moderna Sunday morning, moderate temp, body aches, woke up this morning temp is gone.

I am through the worst of it. But man what a mind fuck. The anticipation of getting sick is almost as bad. But, I bucked up and got it done.

Get yours.

❤️❤️❤️

1. Wow, glad you made it through the first part!

And the vaccination part too! I got my second Moderna shot last Friday. I am thankful I managed to dodge getting the virus so far.

2. 2nd Moderna shot on Saturday ...

No side affects except sore arm on Sunday where the shot was administered.
1st shot I got a headache within the hour, but gone by next morning and a sore arm for 3 days.

For the second shot, one of the volunteers asked if I had ever fainted after a shot,
I responded with "Only with whiskey or tequilla."
He stared at me for a second, then started laughing.

5. Congrats on hour 2nd jab!

15. One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor...

23. I have only one thing to say about that ...

3. Congrats on vaccines and beating covid!

I've read that over 40% of those who were still struggling with after effects were better after both vaccines!

I just read one article that gave current doctors' thinking on why this occurs. Can't find it & am in abit of a hurry this morning, but here is one:

I sure hope you find relief!

9. I was very sick for two months starting in March 2020

I was never tested because it was hard to get tests at first. I continued to have issues for many months. Once I finally made it to the dr she had me get all kinds of tests done but could not find a reason for my continued digestive issues. I have noticed that my issues have pretty much disappeared (say 98-99% recovered) since I had my two Pfizer shots. No longer taking meds. So thankful to feel pretty much back to normal now.

11. So glad ypu are feeling better!

So sorry to hear you suffered so much.

I could be remembering wrong, but for long haulers with digestive issues, I think the article might have said docs' current thinking is that there might have been parts of virus hanging on that vaxes take care of.

Sorry, not a med professional, can't recall terms.

6. Got 2nd Moderna yesterday, bad shooter, sore arm; 1st time perfect; guess I gotta do again in 6

7. No covid, but was fully modernized 8 days ago.

Firs moderna, mildly sore arm.
Second moderna, a bit more side effects, but they went away after a day and a half.

8. My brother's first 'post-covid' Moderna shot really kicked his butt.

He said it was only slightly less horrific than when he had Covid, early last year. He was about 3 days recovering. The 2nd jab after effects, although still pretty harsh, passed within about 24 hours. He said that even if the same thing will happen after a booster, he won't be deterred from getting one.

I pretty much skated through the whole Pfizer process. A dull, 2 day headache that might or might not have been an after effect from the 2nd jab. I'll be first in line for a booster.

10. Congratulations Bean!

You are now one with The DU Herd.

[Evolve Dammit]

12. Best wishes. You've been through the wringer.

[AwakeAtLast]

13. My Dad had the same situation!

Was in the hospital for a week and survived it, thank God!

He had very similar reactions to both doses.

Glad you got it done!

[ananda]

14. Sorry this was so hard on you, but glad you're vaxxed.

I got both Modernas also, but a very sore arm the first
time, and a very sore arm and slight sluggishness and
a low fever the second time.

It was all much better two days later. Now nothing,
just relief.

I hear Moderna is planning boosters as well. I think we
got a good one!

17. Good for you!!! I get my 2nd Moderna in about 2 weeks.

[OhioChick]

19. Congrats on getting vaccinated!

We're vaccinated here and had Covid twice prior to being vaccinated. We're also dealing with some long-term effects.

Hang in there, I hope we all heal in time, the body is quite resilient.

20. We're halfway there

Got Moderna I April 12th, Moderna II scheduled for May 10. Back to Germany on the 15th, by which time we hope any side effects will be gone.

[panader0]

24. Congrats. Weird that you had to come to the states to get your shots.

I know you were coming anyway, but like I mentioned before, I thought Germany would be
a leader in immunizations. Is Moderna or Pfizer available in Europe? I wouldn't worry about side
effects--I had both Moderna shots and was not fazed in the least. Jeannie had aches and chills
for two days after #2.

[boston bean]

25. Two days and you should be fine.

26. Germany has been the slowpoke of the West

Their bureaucratic solution to everything (i.e. do nothing) didn't prove very helpful in this instance. The Germans DO like their rules, and they love enforcing them, but don't confuse bureaucratic inertia with efficiency. Like the "everything is free in Europe" myth: it ain't necessarily so.

Germany offers, when it offers any vaccine at all, Astra-Zeneca, Pfizer or Moderna. A few people have gone to Russia to get Sputnik, but since the people who have verified the effectiveness of Sputnik tend to be Russian spokespeople paid (and ordered) to do and say nothing else, only a few have actually done that. A good friend of ours who was West German Radio (WDR) News Moscow Bureau Chief for five years says Sputnik is the last thing he'd get if Putin's government recommended it. He loves Russia, has a Russian girlfriend, speaks Russian, and knows the place really well--which is why he doesn't trust Putin on ANYTHING. Germans in general have been S.O.L. when it comes to getting vaccinated. The government of our State proudly announced, just before we left for Dallas, that they had lowered the age of residents eligible for vaccination all the way down to 79! Biden just announced that it was, what, age 16 for the whole USA? Not so weird that we got it done here!

21. This vaccine is incredible,

All the ads on my phone are personalized and I get coupons for stores as I drive near them! My wife has stopped constantly asking where I went today. My tinnitus had been replaced by soft affirmations. My windows PC started doing exactly what I want it to. But best of all I'm no longer terrorized by friends who keep their televisions on Fox News all day because all I see on them now is grey static.

22. Lol about wife, that's me with my husband

But because he is so touchy in stores and stands close to people. And your right after both shots I don't bug him as much. 😏
