👍🤞

Just a little more pressure this time, with a mild ache that went away. Swinging arm.

Then we see what happens.

Update: So far, so good...
I used Arnica Montana cream last night, when I got up.
May arm gets a 1 (lowest) only when I'm lifting it near shoulder length.
I got up to a 3 for a few hours on shot 1 w/o the cream.

No other symptoms. Now almost 30 hrs past injection.

1. If you have side effects, it'll probably be tomorrow.

Good luck, and congratulations!

[electric_blue68]

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

2. I just got mine on Wedensday. Apart from the sore arm, I didn't get any effects until

more than 24 hours later. Yesterday eve, I developed chills and a feverish feeling with some body aches, that lasted most of the way through the night. I'm feeling okay now, just tired.

Good luck.

3. I was good for about 8 hours after the second Pfizer shot

Started feeling tired after 8-9 hours, like I hadn't slept well the previous night.

The next morning was when I got hit with the body aches and fatigue. Later that day, I got the low grade fever. It took about 3 days before I felt normal.

Stay hydrated.

4. My arm hurt a bit and the next day I started

to feel kinda crappy with a bit of a headache. Then it warmed up outside and I said to myself, f it, I'm going for a motorcycle ride. And then I felt better. YMMV

13. With the wind rushing on your face!

👍

[Treefrog]

5. My second is tomorrow

[electric_blue68]

11. good luck

[Treefrog]

20. I didn't have much an effect from the first. Some tiredness the second day.

I don’t expect any problems.

6. I got my second Moderna on Monday at 4 p.m.

On Tuesday I was totally wiped out with a slight fever. Took a long nap Tuesday afternoon and went to bed early that night.

Wednesday I woke up feeling totally OK. My arm was still sore but that has now gone away, it's Friday.

Went to a Pilates class on Wednesday afternoon and went for an hour long walk in 90+ degrees temp on Thursday afternoon.

So, just one day of a reaction from the 2nd shot! And now I am fully vaxed and ready to rumble!

[electric_blue68]

12. ok, then! Remember 12 days to Max Effect!

👍

7. Good to hear, that much safer. Hoping tomorrow's good.

8. I got my second Moderna jab yesterday. Took a nap that afternnon but that's normal for

me though I accept other people identifying tiredness/napping as a side-effect. At first I
felt some pressure at the vaccine site but a little vaccine arm exercise took care of that.

One interesting thing I noticed this morning is that my vision is a little sharper and it still
is this afternoon. (Usually I have to put on my reading glasses to see my log-in notes
for various websites. But not today!) If that's a vax side-effect I'll take it! Otherwise
everything is just fine.

Go! Go! Get your vax! Then you'll be set if covid attacks.

[electric_blue68]

14. I definitely moved my arm as I sat for my 30 min post vac wait.

Sharper sight? Interesting! Even if temporary you should report that!
NOT heard of that at all !

In fact I never did the reporting in for gov stats. I should do that! 👍

9. I got my first Shingles shot today

four weeks after last Moderna vaccine. I WISH it was a slighty sore arm like I had with both Covid shots. This one feels like I got pounded by Ali and he KO’d me in one round. Hurts like a bear to lift my arm!

[electric_blue68]

15. Ugh, good for you! That'll be my next shot.

[tavernier]

16. It's actually calming down a little now.

It sort of climaxed and then after I walked around a bit and stretched and moved it, not quite so sore and heavy. And of course the chocolate helped.

[electric_blue68]

17. Ah, good! 🙂

Well, we all know chocolate fixes everything,
or just about! 👍

[MustLoveBeagles]

18. Congratulations

I had the same symptoms as you with my 2nd Pfizer shot.

[electric_blue68]

19. It's 2am.

I know one person who had fairly nasty effects soon after their 2nd shot (don't know which). I know they're not in the majority.

Another 12+ hrs - we'll see. Got mine just after 4pm.
Instead of a Tylenol tonight which my vaccinator suggested - I have arnica cream which I'll put on. 👍

[electric_blue68]

21. YAY I've passed the 48th hour mark since shot...

almostly certainly free from nasty side effects!

Just a tad ache on arm lifting from a 1 (least) to a 1/2.
Probably all gone Mon Eve.

While bringing some pizza home on this sunny day in NYC I "Woooooo"ed it crossing the street in relief. 😄

May 14 will be my vac full effect day.

Emotionally I'll probably feel like throwing a block party! 😀 🎉🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉🎈 🎉🎉💖

Of course I'll continue all stated CDC precautions. 👍

The best of GOOD LUCK to all DU'ers/your families/good friends still waiting to get your first, second, or only shot. 👍

[electric_blue68]

22. It's hour 60... I think the 6G is syncing up! 🤔 😁 😉

[Amishman]

23. not looking forward to #2, the first one had me so tired I could hardly function

Expecting number two to have be in bed for a day or two.

I'm young, healthy, and I rarely even get a cold so I suspect I have a particularly robust immune system.

[electric_blue68]

25. woah. Good luck.

[electric_blue68]

27. I consider my immune system...

still pretty robust.

I'm 68, never taken the flu shot, and haven't had
the flu in about 51 yrs when I was in HS. And I live in a big city, always (well, not the past 13+ months) out and about.

However I will be getting the flu shot later this year. 👍

24. I received my 2nd Pfizer shot on Apr 29

The only side effects I had were a mildly sore arm and fatigue. I slept alot on the 29th and 30th. No fever, no chills, no body aches.

[electric_blue68]

26. Considering - quite lucky
