Anyone else suffering from severe fatigue following their 2d Moderna shot?

[CatWoman]

I got my second shot yesterday and woke up shivering and cold.

When I finally got out of bed, it felt like all my limbs were weighed down.

I've never been so tired in all my life.

1. Take some anti inflamitory if you can, worked like a charm for me. We're not trying to fight the ...

... flu or anything so taking away the aches is good.

I lost a couple of need lbs too.

[Pobeka]

6. I was told to take no pain meds if at all possible.

Studies in mice showed reduced antibody response when given pain meds.

Dang those mice!

[jimfields33]

23. I was bragging how I had nothing earlier today

Got the second shot yesterday too. But did things change over the hours. My arm is throbbing. That’s my only issue but it’s an annoying one. I was more tired the first day with the first Pfizer shot.

[Aristus]

2. That's how I felt after my second Moderna.

Absolutely wiped.

Fortunately, it only lasted twenty-four hours, and resolved without treatment.

I woke up the next day feeling like a million bucks, tax-free...

[CatWoman]

16. lol

*fingers crossed*

[pwb]

3. That describes my feelings after the second.

You will be fine. It kicks your ass but the relief is worth it. It is working.

[femmedem]

4. I had a 102 fever and nausea for a day.

The next day I was a little tired because I hadn't been able to keep water down the previous day, and after that I was fine.

Now I am two weeks past my 2nd vaccine. I went to a bookstore and a thrift store this afternoon--my first retail shopping for anything other than food in a year! I can't stop smiling.

[FakeNoose]

5. I got Pfizer, and yes I had a woozy tiredness after my 2nd hit

No temperature, no flu symptoms, so I just took a long nap and felt better later.
It was all over in less than 24 hours.

[Ace Rothstein]

7. I had a rough day after as well, took a lengthy nap mid-day.

Felt perfectly normal on the second day. You'll get through it.

[jmbar2]

8. Had the same problem

Felt like my legs were made of lead. I slept most of the second day, felt better by the third.

[CatWoman]

18. i just ordered soup and sandwich from Jason's deli

after I eat I'm crashing.

[Ms. Toad]

9. My spouse had that reaction for about 12 hours.

She just slept for the day, and then was fine the next day.

[PSPS]

10. Happened to me too. The second day after, I woke up perfectly normal as if it never happened.

[obamanut2012]

11. Yes, for a few days

[Golden Raisin]

12. The day after Moderna #2

I had complete and utter fatigue and chills. Literally had to lie down in mid-afternoon. Slept that night like I was in a coma. Perfectly fine the next day.

[world wide wally]

13. Been there, felt that

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

14. I had it for...

about 3-4 days. The last couple of days weren't as bad.

It was a doozy for me.

My wife got her second today. We'll see how that goes.

[Native]

31. 9 days for me. On day 10 and finally feel like my old self again.

[beaglelover]

15. This thread makes me nervous. I get my 2nd Moderna on Monday. Wish me luck!!

[CatWoman]

19. best of luck to ya

[Hassin Bin Sober]

26. Beats the hell out of a ventilator.

Good luck!

[beaglelover]

27. Thanks! And exactly correct.

I'll take a day or more of discomfort over dying on a vent!

[Arkansas Granny]

30. Just remember, the side effects go away, the protection remains.

[chowder66]

36. I only had a slightly sore arm and a little fatigue the next day w/ the Moderna vaccine.

I'm 54. Wasn't bad at all. Maybe you will get as lucky!?

[beaglelover]

37. I hope so. I'm 56 and in pretty good shape overall.

[chowder66]

38. Fingers crossed! nt

[pidge]

40. I had 2 Moderna shots....no problems at all.

[GoCubsGo]

44. Don't have any big plans for the next day, just in case.

I had a reaction much like that of the O.P. Tired, achy joints, sore arm, some chills and a low-grade fever. Nothing unbearable, though. I just looked at it as a day where I could be a slug and not feel guilty about it. It also gave me a chance to catch up on my sleep. If you get a reaction, just remind yourself that your immune system is doing its job. Good luck!

If you move your injection arm around a lot, it will help distribute the vaccine, which will lessen any pain.

[beaglelover]

52. OK, so I got my 2nd Moderna shot yesterday at 4 p.m.

This morning I'm not achy but I sure am out of it. My head is in the clouds and I'm tired as hell. May be some naps in my future today after the work calls are over.

[beaglelover]

55. Just got up from a 3 hour nap. I have NO energy. I hope I feel better tomorrow.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

17. It's been since the 8th of April

Since I got my second shot,moderna and I get moments when the tiredness hits me and I gotta go lay down,then it passes and I am back to normal energy.

Also had an uptick in my blood sugar(diabetic) and my depression.

A few days ago the depression really was at me. My blood sugar is elevated but not all that much. Like 110-120. I kept my bsl in the 80's -90's range before I got both moderna shots.

[Native]

32. I had my second shot on the 13th, & today is the first day I've felt somewhat normal.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

20. that was my reaction too.

the day after the day after, I was back to normal!

[theneworiginal]

21. Day 9-still tired.

A bit better today but not great. Dizzy w sea legs and total fatigue for over a week. In a fog.

[SYFROYH]

22. Yes. I'd feel fine lying in bed and then get up and want to get back down.

I had chills the first night.

[Kingofalldems]

24. I had that reaction too.

To me it meant the shot was working.

[Deuxcents]

25. I slept for 2 days

After my first Moderna shot. Could not get the energy to get up. My second shot was 4 days ago n a slight headache but some depression set in. My problem is what no one has brought up..my plumbing is out of wack. Maybe a different problem but m uncomfortable.. hope that’s it n over with. Hope you’re feeling better by now and just knowing we’re fighting a terrible virus n hopefully gonna beat it. 🙋?♀️

[Arkansas Granny]

28. That was my reaction, as well. Felt a little feverish and incredibly tired for 2 days.

The third day, I was fine.

[multigraincracker]

29. Not much after the second shot. A little soar in the arm of the shot and didn't have

any after the first shot. The day after the second one, I did take an extra hour nap and that was it.

Been two and half weeks now and I feel better than I have in moths. Real good times running my 5Ks on the back yard track. Fewer naps now. I'm 71 years old and wonder now if a third one might be even better.

[CrackityJones75]

33. Yeah and for the week or two after as well

[catrose]

34. I did for a week afterwards.

The 2nd day was flu-like, but the fatigue hung on.

[PA_jen]

35. Me. I got the second shot on Tuesday and Wed and Thursday

funny the first shot I got a metallic taste for 2 hours 2nd shot that lasted only 40 mins but the fatigue and achiness It was bad.

[spinbaby]

39. I just had a really sore arm.

The pharmacist who gave me the shot said to drink a lot of water and that seemed to help.

[GoodRaisin]

41. About 3 weeks after my 2nd Pfizer shot I lost my ability to taste sugar.

All of a sudden anything with sugar in it went bland in taste.

[brooklynite]

42. It lasts about 24-36 hours, then its gone.

[marmar]

43. Interesting discussion.....I just got my 1st Moderna on Monday.....

..... and I had a sore arm and very slight chills that evening, but that's about it.

Wondering what the second will bring in a few weeks.

[bluestarone]

45. Wife and i both got two Moderna shots (last one March 11th)

I got just sore arm after both. My wife got sore arm after 1st one. Then got chills and slight fever and tired, after 2nd one. Next day she was fine. Good luck to you!

[Maru Kitteh]

46. Hubs had that w/Moderna#2, my Pfizer #2 not so much but

I did feel like someone had gone after my arm w/a Louisville Slugger and swung for the fences.

Hubs had that fatigue/chills bad 2nd day, lingered a bit the third day, day after that back to normal.

Pamper yourself!

[2naSalit]

47. Not severe. I drank coffee and it went away.

But I do take more naps since. It's been a week since my second shot. I'm not doing anything strenuous but it's still winter here too so lethargy isn't all that bad right now.

[Xolodno]

48. Yeap.

Got the chills and body aches about 8 hours later. Woke up the next day, dead tired.

[Shellback Squid]

49. such a mix bag of reactions, just a sore shoulder, I got my second shot yesterday and my car would

not start

[Elwood P Dowd]

50. I got mine on Monday and felt like hell Tuesday - chills, muscle/joint pain, brain fog,

fatigued, etc.. Felt a bit better Wednesday and normal by Thursday. Hang in there

[tavernier]

51. No.

Sore arm both times. A little sleepy with second.
Now three weeks later all normal.

[CrackityJones75]

53. Pfizer. And Yes.

[Dorian Gray]

54. I was exhausted for a day and a half

after mine but bounced back!

Good luck and congrats on being vaccinated! Yay!
