Nothing else, just like first one. My kitteh is snuggling extra close, having checked me all over.

Hope everyone has a manageable time of it.

My thanks to all who have responded with your own experiences, and your well-wishes. DUers are always the BEST!

Be safe and well.

1. Congrats! Keep a close eye on yourself, be alert and get plenty of rest!

[niyad]

2. Thank you. My kitteh will see to the resting part, as he is curled on my lap, and does not like

to be disturbed.

[Deuxcents]

3. You're gonna be just fine

Someone told me to drink lots of water so before both my Moderna shots, I pounded down the water. Same with my second shot..before n after for a couple of days. Never can get enough water but it sure helped me.

[niyad]

6. I only had some coffee before, but coffee and juice and water since. Another DUer (sorry,

forgot who) suggested doing arm stretches during the waiting period, which I did. The staffer said it was an excellent idea., and reminded me to eat and drink well today. Another DU'er was told to drink electrolyte water, but I don't have any. Ah, well.

[Maru Kitteh]

4. Congrats! The sore arm comes tomorrow.

But I'm really happy for you.

[Elwood P Dowd]

10. Yep, takes several hours for the Bill Gates Chip to start transmitting signals to

Hillary and Obama.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. And that third arm? You

have to wait a whole YEAR for that. Mine won't be done until January but I'm already making plans!

[niyad]

16. A whole year??? I thought it was only nine months!! Ah well, just in time for gardening

season, where it will really come in handy.

[niyad]

15. The chip took effect the afternoon with the first one. Hillary congratulated me!

[niyad]

13. Thank you. I am happy, too. Seemed like forever until I finally got it. Even a sore arm is a

small price to pay for peace of mind.

And there is always wine, and ibu's!

5. Will have my second jab on June 1

Stay safe

[niyad]

8. And you as well, my friend.

[Hugin]

7. ...

Be well! Good start on that.

[niyad]

9. Thank you!

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

11. For 2 my arm got pretty sore for a couple of days and I was tired and groggy.

I am fine now.

[niyad]

14. So glad that you are fine now. Jabber assured me that any symptoms would probably not

last longer than three days.

[Elwood P Dowd]

17. Mine were bothersome the day after, but that was about it.

Chills, joint/muscle pains, brain fog, and such. Much better day 3.

[niyad]

18. Glad that you are better now.

[BeyondGeography]

19. Second night was the toughie for me

Temp got over 101 and I had to lie down and wait for the fever to break. About 90 minutes of dues paying in the fetal position, then I was in the clear. My sister had the same experience. We agreed it was a small price to pay.

Best wishes for smooth sailing for you.

[niyad]

20. Thank you so much. I agree, a small price to pay. Glad that you are better now.

[Binkie The Clown]

21. I felt a little chilled after my Moderna, and my sore arm lasted 5 days. nt

[niyad]

22. Since I am usually cold, whatever the temp, it would be hard to tell. So far, no soreness, thank

Goddess. But I will bear your timeline in mind. I hope you are much better now.

[Binkie The Clown]

26. Yup. Haven't grown antlers yet. nt

[niyad]

27. I understand that they come in about three months.

[Iggo]

23. 'Bout lunch time on Day Two was when it hit me.

Oy.

[niyad]

24. Ouch! I am hearing about these delayed reactions, so not counting on anything yet. Hope that

you are doing better now.

[Iggo]

25. Oh yeah. That was last week. I'm good now.

Day one: Nothing
Day two: I died
Day three: Felt like I was dead yesterday but I got better. Kind of like the day after the day after the OzzFest.

28. It's Been 17 Hours Since You Posted

My second Moderna side effects hit me around then. Lasted about 14 hours. They subsided FAST!
Ran a fever & felt achy in my upper back & shoulders.
Got my shot at 1pm on a Wednesday. Woke up around 5 Thursday morning feeling ok. An hour later it hit.
Before 8pm, all gone! I functioned all day, just felt a little crummy.
Hope your effects no worse & no longer than mine. Best case, even less!

[niyad]

29. Good morning, and thank you for your kind wishes. 22 hrs in, no reactions! Keeping fingers

crossed that it continues thus. Most of the people I know who have had both have had no reactions. So I will hope to remain in their company!

Glad yours only lasted a short time, and that you were able to function. Be safe and well.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Cool For You!

My wife (Pfizer) had nothing after the 2nd, and only a slightly sore arm after #1.
IIRC, around 30% of Moderna recipients had no side reactions. Maybe, you're in that crowd!

[niyad]

31. So glad for her. It appears that I am in that group. Almost 32 hours later, no reactions. I feel

most fortunate!

32. Welcome to the "two shotter club".
